8. Written, 50 to 200+ words. The Teammate One

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star expo! Who are they, why were they an obvious choice to make the All Star roster, and what do you expect from them this ASE? (If more than one of your teammates made the game, pick one of those players other than yourself. If you are the only player on your team selected for the all star game so far, write who else should had been picked from your team.)

Rolling into the All-Star Expo on the back of a team-leading 97 point season is my longtime centerman, Ubba Lodbrok. I expect huge numbers from Ubba in the new round robin. I feel like people don’t realize how good this guy is, having played with wingers like Woody and I the past four seasons. His selection is justified and he’s going to prove it to any doubters when the games start, take it to the bank. After finishing a +40 against all types of competition and standing at 6’6”, he may not look the part of the typical silky-handed all-star, but he’s going to be perfect for this new format.

11. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Offseason Plans

Write a letter to someone your player cares deeply about from the perspective of your player about their offseason plans.

Dear Mom,

I know you always appreciate the written word and receiving mail, so I wanted to tell you a little bit about my offseason plans in this letter! We can discuss more, as always, at some point over the phone. As you know this has been quite the season. It marks my 8th total season here in North America since crossing between the 3 I played in juniors for Detroit and now the 5 I’ve played with Philadelphia. In a lot of ways, I feel like the move forced me to grow up fast and I think I’ve been ahead of the maturity curve for a while. But now, I’m starting to feel – I don’t know – old? And yet, there’s still so much left to do and I feel I’m just starting to enter my prime as a player.

As you know, Avery and I have been seeing each other for most of the last two seasons. She’s great for me – keeping even keeled and there for me when times are tough at the rink. She’s met up with us on some of our trips and is always smiling when we come back to Philly from the longer road swings. As much as I’ve said I feel at home in Philadelphia over the years, with Avery its starting to feel like it IS home. Like this is my home now. So, you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that I’m spending the offseason here for training but on my customary week off that I usually spend back home, I’m going somewhere tropical with Avery and I think I’m going to propose. Its time for the next step.

By the time you receive this it should be just about the time I’m doing it – please act surprised when we call – and clear your plans for next offseason so that we can share that mother/son dance.
