Written Option 1
Oliver Cornwall is a pest, and he fills his role to a fantastic degree. When he read the scouting report, he decided that the best way to help his team was to draw the opposing captain off the ice for five minutes or more. He decided he would try to make it happen in the third period, building on cumulative tension from the entirety of the night. Oliver delivered little spears to the back of his legs every time they lined up next to each other on faceoffs, butt-ended his kidneys in post-whistle scrums, and gave one extra rabbit punch whenever someone got between them. All the while, Oliver kept his trademark grin stapled on, laughing at the opposition’s appeals to the refs and miming crying at them. That trademark grin and upwards nods at an opponent are enough to drive every hockey player mad, and although Oliver most assuredly ultimately lost the ensuing fight, it was worth it to get their best player off the ice for five minutes in the clutch.
