In order to be able to get past a players defenses, we're going to have to lay a pretty good trap. It is definitely not something that could be done at my own home arena, players are already feeling too uncomfortable and on edge to fully trust anything there.

Another teams arena is risky in its own right because there would not be a group of employees that would trust and try to assist me.

I think I order to truly get their defenses down, we would need to be doing it somewhere where their focus is completely off of us, and their guard is down

While a little unethical, I would propose doing it on a charity tour. I could create a foundation and enlist the help of the leagues best and go town to town and teaching kids some wonders of hockey and doing press. This will cause the players to get very comfortable with me and begin to let their guards down. During this travel, there will be plenty of time that I'll be able to use the beam on them to steal their powers and turn me into the best player of all time.
