Prompt 1

Aksel Fiske is easily placed on the Up-And-Comer team, as a S62 draftee. Some other notable players on his team include Ben Jammin, Mikko Rashford, Sconnie McHits, and Spack Jarrow. All fresh faces in the league, just entering their second year in their J teams. Although some Quebec teammates also made the Team, Fiske gravitates towards his fellow draftees, having built a rapport with them leading up to the draft.

If one takes the Up-And-Comers at face value, they would be easily written off. But what they lack in star power, they make up for in determination and endless passion for the sport and the looming challenge. Rashford’s already drawn up strengths and weaknesses of players on the other teams. Jammin checked Fiske into the boards, hard, at the first practice - but apologized and said it was force of habit. McHits has a mean slap shot and Jarrow has… rum. They’re a work in process, but they’ve got time.
