Quote:Does your player have it in them to be a pest? Do they enjoy finding ways to irritate their opponents even if they can't find a way to actually win the game? Or is this kind of thing beneath you? Are you a good ol' hockey player through and through? Maybe a mix of both? If you are a bit of a pest, tell me some of the tricks your player likes to get up to. If you aren't, tell me what your player thinks of other players that DO like to do these things. (150+ words)

Aleksi Kettu just doesn't have it in him to be a dirty player or a pest, no matter the score of the game or the potential outcome. Kettu has found himself in some precarious predicaments in the past, but the common denominator in all of those moments has been a player on the opposing team being a pest. The cocky, arrogant showmanship of players whose only contribution to the game is dirty play really tends to get under Kettu's skin. Hockey has no place for play like that, period. The game has slowly shifted away from that sort of play, thankfully, but there are occasionally still those types of players who try to make a name for themselves in that sort of manner, and it is truly detrimental to the game. Kettu just wants to keep his head up and make some plays in front of the net and be a pest when it comes to screening the opposing goalie, nothing more.
