VIP Status again babyyyyyyyy - your player has been invited to attend one of the first homestands of the CC finals as a VIP guest - all expenses paid, front row seats, any hotel you want - and it's all on the Commissioner's dime! Eggy has complained to me the past two seasons about having to pay for this so I'm graciously volunteering SDCore to front the costs for this season's splurge! Are you going to Games 1 and 2 in Edmonton or Games 3 and 4 in Hamilton? Why are you picking there? And what are you going to do in that city to run up SD's tab?? (This is the same prompt as in the past but we've got different cities! be creative! Don't re-use what was written last season.)

TBD

Alternate Reality: Physicists and other smarties believe that this reality is just one of infinite realities existing alongside this one in parallel. Take us over to one of those realities in which everything is the same but these S51 playoffs have unfolded differently. What happened in that reality's playoffs and who's in the Challenge Cup over there?

Pretend that your team has hit an injury bug - the roster is so depleted that your coach is asking you to play out of position. What position is your coach asking you to play and what about your player build will help you be successful in this new role?

I’m sure all forwards and defensemen are swapping for this and for 3 seasons now I’ve been asking the coach for 60 minutes of ice time and for some reason they keep telling me no. The best I’ve gotten @SpartanGibbles to agree to is that they’d tie me to the goalposts.

So, needless to say, I’d go goalie. Not because I have any amount of real goalie skill, nor that I think it’s easy, it’ll just be my time to really shine. 60 minutes on the great white ice would be sweet. I’m pretty good on my skates so that’ll help some and I’m decently sized. However, I’ll really have to work on my rebound control, but should be able to make some decent passes for those that I can control. I’m hoping that @Geekusoid can teach me a thing or two during his injury. Everyone knows I’m not producing while skating around the ice so can’t be much worse in front of the net, right?

The Most Generic Prompt of All Time - what is your player looking forward to in the offseason? What are they planning on doing? Training? Relaxing? Testing free agency? Whatever it is, let us know!

Ivan is gearing up for his last season in juniors. While many of his counterparts are moving up to the big leagues this year, Ivan has decided to stay with the Outlaws for one more season. While he is looking forward to moving to Texas, there have been 3 seasons in the J that just didn’t pan out as they hoped and S52 is looking more promising than ever. Although he’s topped out skill improvement for the Juniors he’ll be hard at work trying to work with his teammates to build a cohesive team and help fill any role that’s requested of him. Between some of the senior teammates sticking around to this season’s rookies reaching higher levels and a new batch of rookies coming in, he’s got his eyes set on a deep playoff run.

And golf. You can’t play hockey and not play a lot of golf in the off season. It’s basically a requirement.
