Quote:Written Option 1: Players try to secure sponsorship deals with brands all the time. From the fame and fortune that they can sometimes bring, it’s no wonder why they would be sought out for. Does your player actively seek out sponsorship possibilities? Why or why not? Do they limit what sorts of brands they’re willing to work with? Or do they enjoy even the most of zany companies that aren’t even related to hockey?

Yes, Jae-ik Barron of the Atlanta Inferno seeks out sponsorship opportunities. He does this because he knows that a hockey career only lasts so long, and that if he wants to stay in the game after he retires, he needs to make sure his name is widely known among hockey faithful.
There is no limit to the types of brands he’s willing to work with. In the past, he has worked with:

- A tire company selling winter tires. He plays this down because they eventually came into legal trouble for using sub-par rubber in their tires.
- A popular Canadiana restaurant that specializes in baked goods and coffees which shall not be named. He stopped when he learned that they had been sold to a foreign investment firm.
- A company that installs doomsday bunkers. He let his contract run out once they went out of business due to lawsuits: their bunkers kept collapsing in on themselves at the slightest sign of geological activity.

He’s currently taking a break from working with any companies that aren’t hockey related because they keep tarnishing his profile rather than build it.
