Option 2:
Jay is an old man so most people outmatch him these days, he has to work hard to still compete in this league. Whenever he has someone who is more skilled than him skating at him with the puck, he tries to get physical. Beating the hell out of the opponent is still a working strategy for Jay's whole career. Hitting, checking, stealing the puck are all great ways to beat someone better than you if you're fast enough to do it. If someone is more talented and more physically able than him then there isn't much he can do other than try his best and take all the that hits that he can. Jay has to rely on his teammates a lot these days to win games but he still has his heart. Even though that almost never shows up on the scoreboard. His secret weapon is his determination and will to win, his bones aren't quite there anymore but he'll keep going until something falls off.
