Option 1
Thomas Sawschuk would find the whole experience very surreal. It isn't something they feel like they need but I am also sure Thomas does not know the Christmas Carol. Which means that this would not be derivative to them. The first ghost being his old coach would be very weird. Its like getting advice from an active addict. Coach Turner was addicted to smelling salts. They lost games because he couldn't stop huffing those things. He never got better. The molasses sandwich incident was just a coverup for the smelling salts. Thomas would probably point this out, along with the fact that he just won the Champion Cup as a rookie, while Coach Turner died like Elvis. Alone, on the toliet, with a sandwich laced with smelling salts. Tommy would probably wake up and wonder if it was real, but then would find smelling salts around his window, begging the question on if it was real.
