PLAYER PROMPT - It's the morning after a real stinker of a game where your team got blown out 7-1. You're already feeling like junk about it when you turn on the TV and see local hockey journalists blasting you for your poor performance!
Written Task: Tell me how your player deals with negative attention from fans or journalists! Do you get in fights on Twitter? Ignore it all? Prove them wrong with your play? Do you say or do anything when you have to face a reporter that said something bad about you in a media scrum? Does this kind of thing get to your player, or is it just part of the job? (150+ words)
Graphic Task: Show me your player lashing out at mean reporters in a post game media scrum. Include speech bubbles so we know what they're saying!
HOCKEY PROMPT - Once again I bring to you a question about hockey culture at large!
Written Task: How do you feel about hockey's social media culture? Specifically with regards to top players in the world. A common complaint is that the NHL does not have the star power of a league like the NBA, and that the players are much more boring. Do you think this ties in to social media, and the unwillingness many players to engage beyond the officially sanctioned opportunities? Is it unrelated? If so, how do you think the league should go about making their stars more marketable and exciting? Does it even matter? (150+ words)
Graphic Task: Show me what a typical Instagram post from your player might look like. Include their caption and/or hashtags!
