6. Your player decides to start a youtube channel, what kind of content they are creating?

Mary Hollywood's YouTube channel would be a mess. There would also be a maximum of two outcomes -- she'd flop and get bored after exactly one post or she would be the most popular vlog queen in the SHL. Not necessarily because of the fact that she would be doing anything of interest -- indeed, she rarely does anything that would fit that categorization. No, people would simply tune in to watch the absolute train wreck. She'd probably do like, popcorn reviews or something. Popcorn and vape reviews. However, such content might not be particularly compelling to a massive audience. Indeed, the overlap between the number of popcorn review enthusiasts and vape enthusiasts is probably not as high as Mary would like. There could, then, be other facets of the channel that could draw viewership instead. Perhaps a day in the life of a SHLer? SHL hockey is far from Actual Hockey, and the cast of characters that makes up the league far outshines any of the boring hockey players one might encounter in, you know, the real world. Not to mention, these vlogs would be carried out from the point of view of someone who isn't exactly the most normal/well-adjusted in the SHL world, so an interesting flavor would be added for the viewership of SHL fans around the league. Mary would probably just complain about every city that isn't Philadelphia, even Manhattan, where she is currently employed.

13. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Just Hear Me Out

This feels like a bit of an embarrassing little prompt to write, just because I feel terribly awkward tooting my own horn here. However, Mary Hollywood just completed her first full SHL season, making her one of the Rookies of da Year. I contend that it would not be egregious to see her be named THE Rookie of da Year. Indeed, she's a finalist, last I checked. Additionally, and I could be wrong here, but in my research I believe she was the rookie scoring leader. Seems pretty dope. She has some bad other numbers, and by other numbers I mean defensive numbers, but at risk of throwing Mary's Manhattan teammates under the bus it's not like she was out there with an absolute All Star team. Pretty much everybody on Manhattan had some boof defensive numbers, and I don't even really think Mary's were the worst in comparison to her team? Again, that's last I checked. So basically you had an elite scoring winger come busting out the gate and lead the rookie cohort in scoring, and the only downside is she wasn't that great defensively on a team that was overall pretty horrible defensively. I personally would find it difficult to hold that against Mary. Counterpoint, of course, is that her fellow nominees don't exactly suffer from the painful defensive metrics Mary does. MINUS FORTY? What, was she smoking crack out there or something?
