1. In the alternate dimension that happens to coincide with our own, hockey is almost an entirely different sport. Instead of a hockey puck, a small pencil is used as the object that must be scored with. The goalies wear full-on armor plates as the velocity of the pencil being launched at the goalie is frequently lethal. Contact is not allowed it is expected. The warriors sacrifice parts of their body all the time as the lethal object they re-contesting for leads to fewer block shows and more often straight impalement of the recipient. Another change is that the players are all most completely naked, playing on the grass in the middle of the Yukon. One shudders to imagine what incendiary thoughts the players have during the utter bloodshed that the sport produces on a nightly basis. The game is played at night and under the aurora Borgias and the flash of the cannons in the distance.

2. The team in the running for most likely to win the cup going into a brand new season with new rules and new play styles has got to be the  Manhatten Rage. The Rage, coming off a Cup win, is likely in a really good spot to go on and do it again. With ey PLayers in basically the entirety of Czechia working together as a cohesive unit that can and has shown the ability to, come together and bully the rest of the league when it matters the most. The next up on the list is the Steelehawks and not because I like them. Afterward, the rest of the field can and should be a very competitive endeavor for anyone with a pulse and a functioning locker room. Even the bottom feeder teams should be able to make some noise and with the proper moves might be able to pull off an upset, So the spread for the teams winning the cup is not as far apart as some may come to expect it to be.

3. Bernik Vrzala is going from a stay at home defenseman with a very limited option of offensive choices and, most importantly is a Cup winner. In FHM, Vrzala wants to get back to the cup while he still can. His game is hopefully going to transition into a more well-rounded game, while still maintaining his defensive awareness. The game is ever-changing and the new players that are joining the league are already capable of giving an old-timer like Vrzala a run for his money. Vrzala hopes to stay on top of it and enjoy his time with the Dragons while he still can

4. Vrzala is going to have a great offseason. Seeing that his mate has won the cup in David Vent, he is looking to join in on some of the festivities and host a few of his own in honor of his friend winning the cup. Outside of that, Vrala is getting ready for the next season as he usually does. Take some time off to heal and recuperate both mentally and physically after another demanding offseason. The new rules are very interesting to Vrzala and he is going to have a few chats with some of the higher-ups to see what the future holds for the league. Vrzala has also slightly started considering his life after hockey. Skating and playing have really been a large part of his life, and the family business is politics, Vrzala has started to consider looking for a family and started wanting to potentially settle down, but that is an afterthought. Up next is the quest for a cup.

5. David Vent is one of the most influential players that the Rage has ever seen. Now the Rage the are not the team with the best team history in the league. However, there are still some names of relevance that David Vent has caught and surpassed on his way to becoming one of the greatest Defenseman the Rage have ever seen and a franchise player. The style of play that Vent has is capable of seeing him take control of a game, and then punch the shit out of the opposing players. His control of the puck, his demeanor on the ice and just his physical presence will bully the league into giving him an award

8. The next best product coming to you live available only in New York right in the home stadium of the Rage. The Radical Augment Geared Enrichment or R.A.G.E is on the way for the finals. This little beacon can be plugged into your phone and allows the brand new drone system in the stadium to come alive. You see, the suits have personal butlers, and that’s all well in good, however, there are still the other dozen thousand people that need to go to the bathrooms and vendors during the intermission. The new system will seamlessly utilize drones to deliver foodstuffs to the hungry mouths of fans during stoppages in play. Able to track to the beacon, the food can be told to deliver to the seat or to wherever you are in the arena. During the intermissions, a sponsored mothership drone will make a spectacle with the delivery system. You can even recall the drone after you are done to take your trash as to even help keep the arena cleaner
