Written Option 2: Leaders on a hockey team are players who are often there for their team on and off the ice, in season, in playoffs in the offseason. What does your player do during the offseason to show that they’re a leader to management? Do they assist in helping get some teammates up to speed? Do they volunteer to partake in training camp even if they need not show up yet? Or do they simply focus on themselves, aiming to lead by example?

AT-AT Wøllker is going to be a rookie for the Seattle Argonauts in the upcoming season. In a lot of ways, he won't really be expected to be a leader on the ice - he's pretty far down the depth chart so he won't be expected to play big minutes. But there is an expectation that he will do his best in that role and not be a liability to a young team looking to start winning more games. As a rookie, he will be more likely to be looking to the more established players to help guide him and mentor him into becoming a better player. For example, he can learn a lot from a player like Wendolene Ramsbottom who has had an exceptional career being exactly the type of player that AT-AT wants to become so he has a good role model to look to. Despite all this, AT-AT does still believe he can show examples of leadership in his work ethic and drive. He is one of the top earners of his draft class and because of this he is joining the SHL a season earlier than most. This can be especially an example to the current prospects that hard work can and will pay off if you want to make it to the SHL. As well, he is always ready to fight for his teammates, so they will know that AT-AT will be there to rough anyone up who tries to take advantage of them!
