S82 PT #4: Hero Hockey League Due: Sunday, May 18th @ 11:59 PM PST

Kiwi is a pretty obvious superhero. She slapshots kiwis at everyone. Supersonic kiwis, large kiwis. But really her real super power is that she doesn't hurt anyone. Its Jason Bourne aka @SFresh3 sitting nearby with a sniper rifle hitting everyone. Her biggest villain is definitely the evil masterminds of HO, I mean the CIA, as she (but actually Jason Bourne) murder hobos her way through the movie as she is constantly running and jumping and whatevering her way through it all. But the real villains are actually Kiwi and Jason. Cause they are on the Syndicate and #DoCrimeAllTheTime. Turns out we were the gangsters all along and that twist comes at the end of the book. Like the Sixth Sense or something. Whatever, its better than any Marvel super hero and this prompt was hard to get to 150 words. I guess are rivals are Ghosts and Outlaws and Polar Bears and uh whichever new team shows up? The Sound? how do you fight Sound?

Hockey themed superhero eh? Let's go it's time to revive the NHL Guardian Project but make it SHL. (Does anyone else here remember that fever dream? I swear to god that was a thing.)

Dejana Kaptina's superhero combines the teams she's played for. Red and white outfit, the colors of the Swiss flag (with a dash of black, as a nod to her Albanian heritage). The strength and muscle of a rampaging Buffalo, as she is now part of the Stampede. The laser focus and graceful flight of an owl, adopted from her time in Quebec City. The only supervillains in her realm are players who were banned for conduct, who try to come back for more but can't stand up to her powerhouse. Even those she once saw as allies. As a graduate of Louise St. Martin's hockey academy for LGBT youth, there's a special rainbow flair to everything she does!

I’ve always appreciated the unsung hero, the player who works hard but isn’t always the most flashy or the one with a lot of points. Being solid defensively in a tight game is often more valuable than making the big plays in the offensive zone. Contributing in all areas of the game is more important than being a one-dimensional player. A player who can hit and live rent-free in the heads of their opponents (and their fans) brings something unique to a team. I think Valieva did fit that mold in her prime. She worked hard on the penalty kill, won her faceoffs, and even if she rarely played on the power play. Off the ice, I doubt she was the type of leader to rally the team in the locker room when losing by two after two periods. She was more disruptive than anything else, but on the ice, her teammates knew they could count on her. Well, I guess.

Option 2: Often heroes are those who do not play a significant role on the pitch, for some reason, looking only at the sporting aspect, but are liked for who they are, and these can be different things, like as extraordinary friendliness, staying in spirit of fair play or dedication to which they devote themselves during sports events, which pushes sporting skills into the background. It can also be a long-term relationship with a club, which makes mutual attachment between fans and a player. This makes such a player a mascot, a calling card of team, fans standing behind team, sometimes more important to them than those with the highest contracts, because they are closer to their hearts. It is worth being guided by empathy, because not everyone sees people in players, and above all and what's obvious, these players are people and by playing they give us entertainment, joy, sometimes grieve. But all this is an element of sport. It is also important what kind of person you are outside rink.

Written Option 2: A hero in sports is often described as a player who performs when the pressure is at its highest. This could be from a game winning goal in a close game, a game tying goal, a game saving defensive play or of course for our goalies out there a game saving… save! But this is only the visual aspects of being a hero on the ice. What else makes a hero on the ice or behind closed doors in the locker room. Is your player a hero for their team? Is there another player you’d consider your team’s hero?
 
Alexandros has shown glimpses of being a true hero for the Chicago Syndicate but it was never truly his role and as time goes on despite some good point totals, has been more a background helper and 2nd best player. The true hero for the Syndicate right now if a fairly obvious one and the player who has led the team in points both of the last 2 seasons, Slava-Ukraini Heroyam-Slava. Since joining up with Chicago to start last season and taking that number 1 center spot, he has become what we needed in the scoring department and showcased an explosive goal scoring talent only being 1 off from the league lead last season. So explosive was he that he even was nominated for 2 awards in the aidan richan(most improved) which he won and the ron Mexico(SHL mvp) which he unfortunately lost in a close race. This season despite a step back still led the team in goals and assists and our highest seeding finish in about 10 seasons being tied 2nd in our division.

The Breakaway is a street-level hero, patrolling the cities that he visits during the hockey season and traveling more broadly during the off-season. By day, mild mannered Boone Breakaway is a serviceable winger, but by night he's hailed as the savior of the innocent. Breakaway takes down villains with his mystical ability to levitate one inch above any surface, effectively 'skating' anywhere he goes. The speed and momentum he's able to leverage using this ability allows him to respond quickly to cries for help and become a mighty force to 'check' any villains he comes across. While mostly he is a vigilante fighting for the overall good and protecting the everyday citizen, he does have one nemesis: an anti-hero by the name of The Ref. Ref is notorious for abusing citizens who break minor laws - jaywalking, expired parking meters, stuff like that. Any minor misdemeanor is the equivalent of a fatal felony in his eyes, and the Breakaway uses his speed and abilities to rescue citizens from the jaws of The Ref's Penalty Box ability.

Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz could only be the secret identity of a Polish hockey superhero. But what on God's green Earth is a Polish hockey superhero? And a goalie, no less? He can't be "Slapshot" and wreck bad guys with supersonic pucks. No, he's more of the superhero group's tank. His job is to catch the attacks of the enemy and shut them down. He's obviously still themed as a goalie, and his colors are the white and red of his beloved Poland. His powers are nigh-indestructibility, super-agility, and the ability to nullify any attack that he manages to catch with his glove. If he catches a given attack three times, it's shut down for the rest of the day. Cyclops' eye beams? If they hit Jan Bramkarz in the glove three times, he can just take off his vizor because his eyes will work normally for the next 24 hours. Grzegorz would be pretty popular among the X-Men, honestly. Less so with Wolverine, unless he likes being unable to punch people.

Written option #2:
I think in our team, we have a lot of good leaders on and off the ice. In fact, we have our captain and our assistant captains that leads well the group to make sure we perform well during games, or helping others once they are off the ice if they have a problem in their life, a problem with people or any other problems that occurred. I think heroes in the team is what makes them great on a team. Even if they have a problem, others can help them. As my player is one of the two assistant captains, I think we can consider it as a hero because he is helping other in the locker room and I am chatting a lot in the locker room. Slicer and Tylar is also some heroes of the team since they are respectively the other assistant captain and the captain of the team. I also also ensure that our GMS are also heroes since they help a lot for the team on the ice and when they help us building our players for the team and the games in the SHL.

Written Option 2: Aside from the on ice play, the hero on any particular team is the player who can rally the troops when all hope seems lost. The team's hero is the one who does whatever needs to be done to keep everyone focused on the game, and allows the rest of the team to push out all of the negativity and feelings of helplessness to comeback from insurmountable odds. The hero is the person the team can rally around, the person that everyone can look to in times of need, and who always knows the right things to say and do to keep that morale sky high. Hans is not the hero of the Whalers, as that was never the role he was interested in taking on. Hans is a high level role player, focused on ensuring that the team's defensive play is elite when he is on the ice. Hans knows what his job is every time he sets foot on the ice, and he never waivers from that role.

In an alternate universe, Kristaps Skalbergs is a fish themed superhero. Real name Kristaps Scalebergs, superhero alias Defense Man, he defends the city of Thunder Bay (which, while a real city, absolutely sounds like a fictional place from a superhero comic) from his enemies - and no enemy of his is greater than the Vancouver Whaler himself. The Whaler has only one goal - and that goal is to cause the extinction of all fish species in Canada (he got food poisoning from bad sushi once and declared war on all fish). Even Lake Superior is not spared from the Whaler's wrath, and thus whenever he comes to town Kristaps must step up and defend the lake and the city on its shores with all his might. Defence Man and the Vancouver Whaler have clashed many times in many different locations in the city - in the lake itself, of course, as well as in the aquarium and even in the local hockey team's arena (the Whaler got confused and thought that the Thunder Bay Walleye were fish, not people), and seeing as this is an alternate universe, the Whaler always goes home defeated.

Hockey by day, superhero by night. That is the story when it comes to the Chicago Syndicate's very own Zeus Storm. Lurking in the shadows of the gritty, crime riddled, streets of Chicago is Captain Zeus waiting and seeking crime to vanquish. The city of Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in America and Captain Zeus can not stand for such debauchery in his city. Whenever Captain Zeus senses crime and finds it he utilizes his special move the slapper shooter where he draws a collapsible puck from his tactical fanny pack, whips out his collapsible stick, and fires a wicked slapper shooter at the criminal. This sounds pretty basic right? Wrong! The slapper shooter is not just some basic hockey slap shot this thing curves and dips and dives into any tight space to make impact with the target. Once impact is made the puck begins to have a table saw effect as it rips into his enemies flesh or muck or goo or whatever type of being this villain is before exploding internally. There is no getting away with your crime or attempts to take over the planet Earth when Captain Zeus is lurking in those shadows!

Option 2:

We all have our own heroes. Whether it's a father figure, a friend, or an athlete we look up to, these individuals influence our lives more than they'll ever know. Swiffer Sweeper has always tried to embody a heroic attitude on and off the ice. Whether it's passing the puck to a teammate who needs a pick-me-up goal, hitting an opposing player who's trying to score, or kissing his teammates when they need it the most, Swiffer has always been there for his team. Off the ice, he's always hanging out with their teammates, talking about their interests even if he's not interested in them, and playing pranks on everyone. Heroes save us when we're at our lowest, and Swiffer tries to save the day whenever he can for him teammates.

Jean Bon on STL is very similar, especially with how much they cheer the team on. A shot-blocking hero, Jean puts their body on the line for the team, and they always do it with a smile on their face. Win or lose, Bon is uplifting the whole locker room and getting everyone to smile. Players like Bon are the reason teams have continued success on the ice.

Written Option 1

Max's superhero name is Roosterman. He chose that after his MVP season in 78 in which he had multiple 4 goal games. He wears a classic superhero outfit with a rooster mask and hockey stick as his weapon. He has a couple superpowers. His supervision has helped him on the ice and off in order to spot criminals. He also can supercharge picks which he shoots at the criminals. They explode on contact which the police are less than gond of due to the cleanup of body parts and property damage. 

The main supervillain he fights is Lazer Gato who is a human sized cat that shoots lazers. They typically end up causing so much damage in their fights that the police have put out wild west style "Wanted Dead or Alive" posters around the cities they frequent. All in all its a pretty odd situation since Roosterman doesn't know exactly what Lazer Gato's motives are but they fight none the less.

Quote:Written Option 1: In an alternate world, your player is a hockey-themed superhero!! What is their hero name? What are their hockey-themed superpowers? Do they have supervillains? If so, are they from another SHL team? What are their villains’ names and powers? Feel free to describe an encounter between your player and their villain!

In that alternate world, Jae-ik Barron would be the superhero Infernoman.
He would control the element of fire and use it to fight fire with fire and save people from burning buildings. He would also be able to fly due to having burning wings of flame that sprout from his back. He would have a hockey stick made of fire that shoots fire pucks at enemies. His hockey equipment would be made of unobtanium and be impervious to bullets and conventional weapons.
His enemy would be the Fish Fiend. The Fish Fiend would control the element of water and try and stop the Infernoman at any and every opportunity. He would control ocean life like Aquaman, especially fish, and he would take a sadistic pleasure in making people drown.
I’d imagine a hypothetical fight between the two would be a bank being flooded by Fish Fiend, and his evil henchmen fish would be trying to shoot the citizens escaping from the bank. But they can’t see them because Jae-ik Barron AKA Infernoman is shooting flaming pucks that create steam and obscure the fish shooters’ vision.
