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?

Bishop Van Apeldoorn isn't one to just jump into the first sponsorship deal that comes his way. Bishop doesn't want his name associated with any brand that he finds too glamorous or fancy. He also isn't going to add his name to a brand that he almost never uses because it makes him feel fake. Bishop mainly aims to look for sponsorships that involve products that he uses on a daily basis. One brand he'd love to sponsor is Dr. Squatch Men's Natural Soap. mostly because he is a frequent user of their products and he finds their advertisements funny. He'd love to star in one of their commercials and be a proud spokesperson for their brand. He would also consider other mens care brands like Manscaped if offered a deal. He has been criticized for being picky about what brands to sponsor because he'd be missing out on a lot of money, but Bishop doesn't care. He'd rather look for a way to make money while staying true to himself rather than pretending to enjoy a brand that's willing to pay more.
