Quote:Written Option 1: Nothing compares to the joy of coming home to a loyal companion, or so does your GM think as they come up with the idea to boost morale of the team and to get a mascot for the team with one move. So they will get a team pet (if there already isn't one), but they let players pick what it will be. So what kind of pet will it be? What will it be called? Does it just hang around the arena or training facilities or will it go into the locker or even join the team on bench (I’m pretty sure there is no rule in SHL forbidding gooses from the bench)? Who takes care of it? Will there be dedicated staff for it or will it spend a week with each player?

A pet dog. I think having a dog would be amazing in San Diego or Baltimore. In San Diego it would be called Mr. Tide. In Baltimore it you be named Max. Just max I have no idea why. In either place it will be going everywhere with the team. In the arena, training facilities. locker room, bench, concourse, team bus, team plane. opposition places. hotels. Every week the dog will live with a different player or staff member and they will take care of the dog and bring it to games and practices, team events as well. After each home game it will go on the ice and celebrate with the team. I am unsure what type of dog it would be but it would be a very cute and friendly puppy. Not everyone can take care of a pet so if a player so chooses they can opt out of taking care of the dog due to their own reasons.
