Written Task:

Social Media, and personality in hockey is well known for being pretty bland. I don't think that it is really a problem to be quite honest. There are so many players on a team, and constant line changes makes it hard to really follow a player throughout a game anyways. I don't think the league can really do anything about it, if were talking about the NHL. Players are going to do what they want, and you can highlight players who welcome the attention more for sure, but I think some small things that could really help is provide more engaging content on the media side. Not interviews, more looking at how the players play. More focus on specific player-centric things, like how a player does something, following a player throughout a game, maybe use new tech to allow people to digitally highlight or put a tracker on a chosen player through their apps or something so people can really track their favorites throughout a game without having to figure out what number someone is. Maybe allowing more personality in the uniform would be nice, i don't know. It is tricky because players all wear basically the same exact uniform from head to toe, so it can't be hard for newer fans to really figure out who is who, and most players are similar builds too.
