CREATIVE PROMPT - Coach spent all weekend watching four hour video essays on modern art and the necessity of boundary pushing in creative culture. They're pretty riled up! They call you in to the office to complain about how stale hockey is, and how they want to revolutionize the game with a signature trick play.

Written Task: What do you pitch to your coach to push the boundaries of the sport, and get people excited on the highlight reel? Get as creative as you want. Do you need props? Weeks of setup? YEARS of setup? Is it a plan to win the whole game, or just to score one beautiful goal? No holds barred. (150+ words)

Graphic Task: Show me the moment of the whole scheme paying off. I want to see when the play works exactly as planned, and how people are reacting to it. 

HOCKEY PROMPT- If you don't want to get wacky, then I have a question for you about the actual game of hockey. Do trick plays have a place in the sport?

Written Task:  We've all seen the lacrosse goals, the attempts to flick the puck over the back of the net and in-- but these are few and far between. It might even be a stretch to call those things "trick plays." The only actual trick play I can think of off the top of my head is Ted Nolan pulling one over on Team Canada at the 2014 Olympics. That said, you almost never see this kind of thing happen in the NHL. Why not? Is there a lack of creativity in the game? Is it just too complicated without enough payoff? Why do you think we don't see much of this coaching style in hockey, and would you like to see more of it? (150+ words).

Graphic Task:- Draw up an actual trick play! Give me the X's and O's on a rink layout and include why you think it would work!
