5. This time the games are hosted in Minnesota. How would players spend their time in the Twin cities?

Aside from all the normal activities players are used to doing before and after games (such as last minute training and nutrition), the Twin Cities are home to the Mall of America! Such an attraction would be epic for players to attend! The mall not only has so many stores and restaurants for each player to spend their hard earned cash, but the mall has an indoor amusement park. Riding an indoor Rollar coaster in a temperature controlled environment while spending and eating till one's heart is content, it is a must see after games are over. If players are more inclined for a different and more relaxed experience though, the Twin Cities boasts having many art installations such as the Minneapolis art center and sculpture garden, the Weisman art museum, and a conservatory, among many walkable locations. Elly would definitely find herself prowling around many of the parks and enjoying the sunshine. Cosmo park and the falls are very scenic places to take in some nature away from the cities and perhaps other players and people. Overall the Twin cities have amazing tourist spots for before and after games, and the facilities to accommodate the players wonderfully and comfortably. It's a wonderful choice to host.

6. Your player starts practicing and skill that has nothing to do with hockey. What do they do and how does it go?

Elly really really wants to start leaning to actually use her vocal cords to speak a human language. As a big cat she is much more equipped for yowls/howls, purring, and various other animal noises. But like most animals, with some training and practice, they can achieve some semblance of human speech, even if not perfect. Elly also can understand English and various forms of communication perfectly, only can't respond.With lots of weird noises coming from the locker room and her spaces, she can eventually be heard over some weeks to months making human type words. She learned to day hello, thank you, and I love you first. She also learned a yes and no and is working on player names too. She plans on learning more as time goes on. But vocal work takes a lot of time. Perhaps someday she can speak fluent English like most birds do.
