The team that I have been placed upon is the peak players. These is the team that is just now hitting their stride and are reaching top parts of the league. One of the teammates is a team up with Sven Yxskaft. A call back to the four-star cup winning season with the Carolina Kraken, one of the people I have tremendous respect for in the league and carries themselves highly. Paired with Yxskaft we have one of my fellow Norwegian Adam Scianna. Someone who has been core for the Texas Renegades for almost a decade and will be for presumably another decade. Also on the team will be one of my friends and insane powerforward of the league Alexander Roach as well as his peaking S53 teammates Jack Kanoff, Steve harrington and Jaska Seppala. The second pair will be an homage to the annual goal scoring bet between Jukka Timonen and Magnus Liljestrom. In addition to them My fellow linemate Zoltan Topalo will continue to play along side me because we work well together.    

As a member of the up and coming team. Our job is to go against the old guards of the league or the Grizzled Vets. Which is a great honor to be going against some of my idols of the league. One of the opponents would be Eko van Otter. Someone who has been at the top of the league throughout all of my hockey experience. Making the transition from being an elite forward to being a backbone hard nosed defensive player and someone that I have had the good fortune of playing alongside in Norway.
Paired with Otter would be Mathias Seger, a stout Swiss fellow who walks a little crooked from being pelted with the puck in Minnesota. 
Manning the forward position would be Nick Brain and Jimmy Slothface. Slothface was someone who would be an MVP and an absolute monster the entire time. Nick Brain and Slothface both members of the British guard that are both elite members of the Great Britian team. 
Another older member manning the net is Harry Carpet, someone who has been the franchise player for Toronto through thick and thin.  
The game goes well for the up and comvers, we clapped the old player’s cheeks.

These hall of famers really won the game through mental prowess. First off they told us that SimonT was an ideal simulation hockey engine and that really shook a lot of us to the core. Also hit us with plenty of back in my day we only had fifty games in a regular season to get all of our stats. Which was a big shot to the ego especially of Michael Fitted. They then teased us by playing Crossfit Jesus in the middle of the third period and he did not even make it into the hall of fame. Just to showboat how much better than us they were. There were a lot of brainstorming on how our team is going to recover for the rest of this tournaments but the thing that got our mental back together was a healthy dose of a family dinner with Crybaby Cranberry sauce and Mommy Milker Mac n Cheese.
Well the guys and gals all went to the salon before the game and got bikini waxes in preparation for the absolute stomping we were about to put on the grizzled vets. We were all prepping to drop the meat trick for the fans and needed to be looking our best for the camera. I went to my longtime guy, Sampson. He creates the cleanest of creases you will ever find in the business. We were all set up to go in the ice, secretly looking fresh. We have dominated the grizzled vets and the puck has been in their zone constantly. Their first line was still on the ice was gassed from the constant pressure and five minutes in Zoltan Topalo starts off the scoring. Jaska Seppula and the buffalo squad was the next to score a few minutes later making our lead 2-0. It was difficult seeing eko van otter perform as a shell of his former self...but we were not going to let that stop us.  Zoltan then rattles off back to back goals starting in the second period giving him the hatty. We then start fooling around and it gets midway through the third period and everyone is rallying Trying their damndest to set up Zoltan for the 4 goal night. He kept hitting post after post and it felt like the grizzled vets were just playing prevent to stop the goal. Then all of a sudden a Zoltan finds the back of the net with 20 seconds to go and he does it. He whips it out and starts stroking it in true Joe Thornton celebration. The bench erupts and we celebrate like we just won the whole tourney! It was a night to remember.
As everyone is walking out of the tunnel and the crowd is electric. Many of my fellow superstars are just starting to feel butterflies in their stomach for the first time in years. Numbed by the exposure of high pressure situation after high pressure situation. This is different than all of those. This is a battle against history. A shot at revenge for being embarrassed earlier. The line of Minamino, Wagner and Alexander Roach starts off the game. As the puck drops Robert Phelps gets leverage on Roach's stick causing a yard sale. Phelps dumps the puck deep into our defensive zone as Jukka Timonen fields the puck. Mike Izzy lays down a booming hit that sends Jukka through the glass causing a stop in play. I look to Michael Fitted on the bench with surprise and say under my breath "Ah shit, here we go again". After 10 minutes of glass repair, play resumes but the mental damage to Jukka was done. He couldn't go back out on the ice and opted to sit down with our sports psychologist.


Optional: Starting out I didn't think too much about the writing prompt. I had no idea where things were going just picked prompt 1 because it was the first one but as the weeks went on and on. I started looking forward to the story that was being put together. Starting week 4 of the prompts I had become invested in the point tasks and looked forward to the next creation so much so that I wanted to turn it into a proper story. Time limitations prevented me from writing more than 200 words on subjects that I want to write 800+ words on. which is why the story is so choppy between each prompt and incomplete. This brought a lot of joy and excitement to the league that I forgot was part of the reason I fell in love with this league in the first place. Thank you Slash.
