Prompt 1

As Mat Smith stepped through the portal he found himself in a seemingly familiar place, the same world as the one he knows, or so he thought. He ended up figuring that nothing was different so he went about his day, but as he drove into the United Center for his game he noticed something very weird. The hockey team playing there was called the Blackhawks? At first he thought that he had somehow missed a rebranding announcement from the team but as he tried to walk into the door he was stopped by security. It was now clear that this world was not his own. Not knowing how to get back home, Smith concocted a plan, to try out for the only professional team that holds open tryouts, the Newfoundland Growlers of the ECHL, then work his way up from there. Smith laughed to himself as he read that this was the only team he could try out for, as it would turn out that after all the shit he talked to his Syndicate teammates about Newfoundland, that's where he would have to end up.
