IIHF Federation Head Toast's Idiot of the Year 2021
A Seattle Argonauts short horror film would start with a player, likely fictional for the purposes of entertainment, being brought into the GM's office. It is there that the team's front office staff inform the player of the worst news imaginable - he had been traded to the Winnipeg Aurora. The words of the general manager would fade into a dull noise as a high pitched ringing sound drowned out all meaning to the words, as a close up of the player's face showed the beginnings of a complete psychological collapse. The film would follow the player through unproductive conversations with his agent, repeated travel and visa delays, and other setbacks as the player continues to lose his grip on sanity upon facing a fate worse than death. To make matters worse, his first game with the Aurora was against the Argonauts in Seattle. Winnipeg puts. the player in the starting lineup, where he was booed relentlessly, as the final straw breaks in his mind. As the camera pans from the ice, down the tunnel, and outside the building, we hear screams, commotion, and eventually see and hear the sirens of police vehicles approaching the arena. In the final scene, the player is led out on a cart, strapped and wearing a Hannibal Lecter style mask. The Aurora logo has been violently ripped from the jersey he wears, and blood coats his face and chest. He cackles maniacally as he is loaded into a vehicle to be locked away forever. Fin.
