Option 2 

Jay loves being a defender, punishing the other team and making it so the other team can't score is one of his biggest pleasures in life. Always taking the puck away from the enemy and never giving it up is what he does. He lives and breaths defending, it's basically his whole life but he as always thought about what it would be like to play as a forward. While he's on the blue line he sees these guys scoring incredible goals and wonders what's that like. Jay might not be fast but he's got a decent shot, maybe that's enough to be a good forward? Sure Jay has a number of career goals but he's never the guy dangling around defenders to score those highlights reel goals, certainly not these days anyway. Maybe in a next life he'll be able to play as a forward but in this one he'll have to sit back while other people get the glory.
