Option 2

Being a hero isn't a term I would use for anything on the ice. Players can put their teams on their backs to win important games but I wouldn't really call that heroic. The real heroism comes off the ice. At the end of the day, what people are doing here is playing a game that they get paid an insane amount of money to play, I wouldn't call them heros. If players then use their platform to help out and give back then we are getting into the realm of heroism. Whenever a player visits a children's hospital or starts a fundraiser and donates money then that is the real way that they can be heroes in their community. I know it can be tough for these world class athletes to find time but any little bit of volunteering can go a long way, there are so many people in need that don't make millions of dollars playing a game.

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?

When I think of a hero, I have to look at what Mark Scheifele did and last night’s game. For him to play in that situation after losing his father is nothing short of miraculous. Not only that, but to see the way that his teammates and opponents surrounded him just shows not only how much of a leader he is, but by how amazing the Hockey community is. It’s so great to see a group of people seeing somebody deal with an impossible situation and handle it so gracefully. You can truly tell the measure of someone’s resolve when they’re faced with such impossible circumstances. It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch the end of that game and see the emotions that Marc was dealing with. And on top of all of that for him to be in the penalty box when that game went goal was scored to clinch the series and end Winnipeg’s season was absolutely crushing.

Option 2:

There is no one better in Edmonton and maybe the entire league that deserves the term hero more than Justin Time. The ageless wonder does more for any team than almost anyone else and I had the pleasure of seeing him work in two different franchises.

On the ice his play is head and shoulders above anyone else, even at an age most players have long since retired he continues to set a pace that is difficult to beat. 5 shutouts this year to lead the league, last year set a GSAA record! He now owns the all time wins record! The guy is a warrior and inspiration to each and every teammate.

Off the ice he coaches each and every player provides feed back on how best to train to get the most out of the style of game they wish to pursue. He helps with strategy and line combos, he ensures the team does everything possible to win. The proof is in the pudding, in the ultra competitive western division Edmonton has leap frogged arguably better teams on paper to finish higher in the standings despite a tougher schedule.

Time is the hero we need, not the one we deserve.

In an alternate universe Axel Kirby would be known as "Sight". You may ask yourself why, well that is because his hockey super power would be the ability to see into the future. However, this ability is only possible while he is playing on the ice. Outside of the rink, this ability does not exist and he goes back to being a normal person.

However, while on the ice, he can see plays as they develop and how they'll develop. On his shifts, this gives him an incredible advantage on how things will shape up and where to put himself to maximize and utilize space. He can make plays as he can see how the ice opens up, he can stop plays from developing as he knows what the opposition will do.

The only downside is that when he plays his rivals, his villain is there: "Speed". Speed is able to make it so the game happens much quicker than normal, not allowing Sight's ability to take effect. It doesn't alter the events of the game, but just happens at a quick enough pace that it's almost impossible to react to events on the ice.

Written Option 2:
When someone needs a goal each team has that player that they can rely on to come into a situation and make things easier and put the team on their back. Every team has that player who can relay a series of words and rally the whole team around a purpose and a mission. When looking at the Calgary roster, it feels as though the hero job can be transferred from one person to the next but it all stems from one person. Froya Solberg is the heartbeat of the team an absolute beast on both sides. Froya can make those around into heroes, including Fitzpatrick, Wizard and her twin. Froya has become the heartbeat of the team that leads them onto the ice each and every game. Motivating them thru practice, in the locker room and at their work. Every team needs a hero who can enable others to become that hero when they need that boost and that is what Froya is to the dragons.

If we were in an alternate universe where superheroes existed and it just so happened that hockey players also happened to have these super powers I would imagine that injuries would also be ubiquitous with the league. People would be turned into piles of goop, absolutely smashed through the glass and completely obliterated in many cases. So it makes sense then, that there be a player who's sole job it is to run around protecting his team from these heavy hitters, but in the case that they do get hit - he can heal them and bring them back to fighting form. Basically, the hockey equivalent to a cleric. I would imagine that Cadmael would have some insane skating speed that lets him intercept and tank hits from opposing players that might be going after some of the more offensive producers. Then let's say that one of the star players gets absolutely creamed and can't get up to get off the ice. Cadmael scoots on over to them and heals them up, lickety split!

Written Option # 2

A hero in hockey is a player that goes above and beyond for their team and the fans! this might mean that they score the goal that wins the game that gets their team into the playoffs. it also might be the player that drops to the ice to block a shot or a pass that would lead to a prime scoring chance for the other team. At the end of the day we are all heros because it takes all of us working together and filling our roles to bring home a win for the team and give the fans something to cheer for. There is a lot that goes on off the ice that makes someone a hero also. When the team is having a rough season like we have had in Nevada it takes a hero to keep the team going and not letting the negativity take hold of the team. Our captain Claude has done a good job of keeping us going through this rough season by focusing on the bright spots like the performance of our rookies this season!

Written Option 1

My player's hero identity would be something like a transformer style option : by day he is a hard-working gritty defenseman, but when danger threatens, it is time for his alter identity to be revealed. He undergoes a transformation into a giant all-terrain armored transport vehicle. In this form he has 4 legs which can crush anything beneath it's feet, plus multiple laser cannons which can blast rebel scum villains to do a lot of damage. He will go anywhere that the glorious leader of his Benevolent Empire orders to do his bidding, protecting the fine citizens of multiple planetary systems from being overrun by any tricky jedi or rebels. While he instills fear into the enemies of the Empire, for the fine citizens of his world, they look up to him as a protector and guardian. Unfortunately his nemesis is an evil tricky space wizard named 'The Walker of the Sky' who somehow always escapes justice, but no doubt eventually AT-AT and his Empire friends will surely triumph and bring Order back to the galaxy.

2: I think the "hero" of a team functions might like the captain of a team does -- he's the guy who sets the tone for the rest of the locker room, both on and off the ice. He's the guy who makes all the public appearances, puts on a good face and rolls with the punches when talking to the media, but never makes it about himself, he just wants what is best for his boys and wants to make sure no one feels overwhelming pressure to be more than they need to be. On a team like Seattle I think that'd be someone like Tomlander, Squid or Fenix; they're a constant presence in the locker room and on the ice and they can really shift the vibe in the right direction even if things aren't going the way we'd hope. They don't try to make it about them, but things simply coalesce around them and they shoulder that burden with grace and keep on in a way that encourages the rest of us to play our part. That and they're wicked nasty on the ice and make dazzling plays which always helps.

The real heroes on teams are often not the ones youd expect from the outside. They're not alwasy the highest scoring players, or even the most skilled ones. The real heroes are the players that make their team members better, the ones who make sure everyone is fired up and keeps going, and the ones that stand up and get messy when they need to. They're the players who jump the other teams enforcers if they go after their goalie or star player. The players who make a desperate attempt to block a shot at their open net when the goalie is out of position. The ones who stand up to take a penalty shot when the pressure is on. They're the players who have the balls to go out there and do something uncomfortable, because it'll help or boost the team. Even if it means they take a few punches, leave with a nasty bruise or have the entire arena look at them.
