Option 2:

I think that mr. Scaradog is definitely a great example of "always the bridesmaid, never the bride". It started even in the SMJHL, where still as a forward, he managed to climb to 3rd in the scoring race in his last season with the Maine Timber...only to not only not win any awards, not even get nominated for any. Even the bitter rivals of the Timber, the Berserkers, were able to recognize that Scaradog's omission was quite the surprise from that season's voting ballot - but how do you get past such a bitter moment in your career? Not only are your personal achievements unrecognized, you are then not able to convert a great season into any significant team achievement in the playoffs either, that makes for a very bad end to your junior career indeed. In fact, Scaradog would only play a few rookie seasons as a forward for his SHL team before recognizing he doesn't have what it takes to be a forward on the absolute elite level, and served as a defenseman for the team ever since. His career never completely recovered, and Manhattan with him on their blueline managed to lose back to back game 7s in the finals, shortly after which Archangelo Scaradog Jr. officially hung up his skates and left the SHL forever.
