Quote:PLAYER PROMPT - We're in the run up to the playoffs and earning points in the standings is crucial. You're in a tie game with a divisional rival, third period, and you're battling for a puck in the corner (or if you're a goalie-- a scrum in front of the net). You feel an opponents stick come up and graze your chin. It doesn't hurt, in fact it barely touches you, but you have the opportunity to try and draw a penalty.

Written Task: Do you do it? Would your player embellish the high stick? Take the dive? Try to get a call where there isn't one? Keep in mind a powerplay could win you the game here! These are important points in a playoff race! Would you take the opportunity, or is your player too hard-nosed for that? Are you a stick to the rules kind of player, or a take any chance you can get to win kind of player? (150+ words)

Billy, a player for the Detroit Falcons, was in the middle of a close game against their division rivals. The playoffs were around the corner and every point counted. In a battle for the puck in the corner, an opponent's stick grazed Billy's chin, but he wasn't about to make a big deal out of it. He just brushed it off and kept playing, slipping past the guy who hit him and grabbing control of the puck. The opposing goalie made a sick save, but Billy wasn't gonna let that stop him. He used his speed and hustle to fight for the puck, never backing down from a challenge. And it paid off. Billy scored the game-winning goal, giving the Falcons a crucial two points and earning him even more love from the crowd and respect from his teammates. For Billy, it was just another day at the rink, doing what he loved and playing tough.
