Answering for Option 2

Teddy Bloos definitely tries to be the best leader he can be on and off the ice. This stems from his community involvement with charities around the Thunder Bay area, but he also tries to help out the new players by giving them advice on adjusting to the culture and the nature of the J. For a lot of players, it absolutely is a tough adjustment trying to get used to the nature of playing major junior hockey, and Teddy gets that. He tries to organize team events and other ways for the rookies to let loose a little bit without feeling too overwhelmed.

Beyond this, Teddy likes to think of himself as a true teacher or mentor. Sure, he's no coach, but for a lot of centres, he provides a lot of insight on how to improve their play given how important the centre is to their forward line. He helps his teammates understand advice on how to win face-offs, for example.
