Written Option 2 (168 words):

It’s the start of the game and they are introducing all the players for the first time this season. Tiny Princess is very hyped for all the new rookies and signings. Once his name is called he skates out onto the ice at supersonic speed then does a triple front flip followed by a perfect landing where he then throws up his stick the catches it, then he takes a bow and gets back in line. During the home opener against the San Diego Tidal, Tiny Princess will give it his all. He pushes hard leading to him finishing the game with a nice even strength assist to Enlightened Centrist topped with a nice 2 blocks that help lead to a 4 - 2 victory over the Tidal. After the game Tiny Princess takes off his gloves, jerseys, and skates, and then goes to find young hockey players in the back rows of the arena to give this autographed gear to inspire them to keep on going and playing.

Written Option 1:

Niclas Sundqvist of course quickly accepts the invite to "The Greatest Show on Earth"! He truly believes he can show all the other atheletes a thing or two, Niclas will do quite well overall in the sports due to his dedication of physical form and dedicated mindset. He does however have a big weakness. His offence, at least in hockey, is not what he has aimed for. Therefore any skill comps will be at risk if he faces off against another hockey player. Of course, if against other athletes he is pretty much having no issues dealing with it. As a european, Sundqvist has another large weakness. What is here called "football" but obviously means american football. He has never cared for the sport and does not know any rules, ideas how to play or famous athletes. Therefore, he will suffer heavily and be dead last in all the taks revolving american football. As for football, he is pretty decent. At least at shooting the ball!

written option #1

Celly was a multi sport athlete right up until choosing to enter the draft and go into the SMJHL and SHL, so they're both thrilled about this and absolutely born for it. Their decision to go into hockey full-time has definitely been an adjustment after years of balancing acts, so getting to flex some of their other skills is massively exciting for them.

Soccer was their main sport other than hockey, and they're really quite good at it. Baseball lands somewhere in the middle, especially since they're wildly out of practice. Football, though? Football is not in their wheelhouse at all, and high athletic ability and general exposure to the sport can only do so much for somebody's actual ability to play it or execute the necessary skills. But they'll do their best, because it would be an embarrassment to themself and their teammates in New York if they didn't. Come on, we're all professionals here.

It is cool to get invited to play with some of the greatest athletes in the world and try to compete to prove that the players in the simulation hockey league are some of the best athletes among our peers. Now, Ho Lee-Smokes is not a broadly talented athlete but he will without a doubt take any opportunity to have a lot of fun and do something for fans. As part of participating in the game show, I’m getting a chance to meet and be seen by our fans with stars from the PBL, SSL and other leagues. Home run derby as a professional hockey player? Sounds like a blast but please just move the fences up. I bet I can hit a ball just about as hard as I can hit a puck! I hope that I get to bring a few fellow SHL athletes with me because it would be a great opportunity for us to band together and really show the other sports what we are capable of.

Tampa Bay has a big party they host before and after the game for the fans. Free drink with opening ticket and 1 free food item. It has been a huge success as once you get fans some juice they cheer louder. Brayden Point is known to stay back after a game and sign autographs for the fans that have on his jersey he is even nicer than he ought to be to opposing fans and will give them a smile and a wave. Before the puck drop Tampa uses the big screens to highlight Tampa Chomp Chomp nation history. Then there is a theme of the year which includes light and animations. These scenes are unique for the opener game. Even the way the lights shine the game is treated as a different game. For anyone that has been to a playoff game it is unique the crowd hits different - I highly recommend you check out the barracuda home opener. By far the best opener in the league!  Barracuda Barracuda

My player tries his hardest to get ingrained with his hockey community. Being able to play the sport he loves every day and get paid very handsomely for it is something that he never takes for granted any day of his life. That's why on home opening days he takes the time to show up for a lot of fan meetups at local businesses around Colorado, and sign all the merchandise he can for the fans, along with taking many photos. I think just about all the Colorado raptors would be very good about this sort of thing. For post game signings we would all stay extra so that we were able to meet, sign stuff, and take photos with all the fans that spend money and time to watch us play. It's a very easy way to show our appreciation for the people that enable us to do what we do every day.

For the first time in a long time there are expectations for the Seattle Argonauts. The team made a huge trade this offseason that got the fans excited and now they can't wait for that home opening night. The question is no longer can they make the playoffs, it is now when they make it how far can they go. Henri Losanov won't lie about it, he's a bit nervous about that game. After his awful showing in the playoffs, there is doubt if he can be the goalie for this franchise. He prefers to limit the interviews and the fans interactions for now and focus on his game. He might get booed when his name and number get announced for the pre-game ceremony who knows. So he will just skate his head down to the blueline and not do any celebrations. He really wants that win and perform well to prove he's the man for the job.

MattyJ would definitely go. It is a chance to prove that hockey players are the most well-rounded athletes out there. Plus, the idea of competing against stars from other leagues is too good to pass up. The game show, “The Greatest Show on Earth,” is stacked with talent. There’s a running back from the NFL named Lamar Jackson, a flashy outfielder from the MLB named Jose Siri, a midfielder from the Premier League named Cunha, and a flopper from the NBA named Joel Embiid. What a combination of athletes. 

The challenges are wild and random, testing everything from problem-solving and teamwork to endurance and balance. One task has them building a raft out of random objects to cross a pool, while another involves navigating a corn maze. MattyJ shines in anything requiring teamwork, speed, and strength, leaning on the skills he’s built on the ice. Will MattyJ come out on top? Tune in to see!

Prompt #2

Overall, the home opener is kind of annoying for Toasty and most SHLers. You have already had the fan events in the off-season and pre-season to get people hyped up for the game and the longer presentation leading into the home opener puck drop can really psych out some of the players. Regardless the game though Toasty wants to give it 120% in every game so he tries to not let the delays get to him. It's a requirement for the Pride to walk a purple carpet into the arena in their suits and Toasty wants to make the fans feel like a core part of the success and will stop for pictures and autographs but when it gets close to game time, he shuts out the outside noise. In the pre-game introduction while the roster comes out one by one, some players might take the opportunity to have some fun with the intro. Toasty doesn't care for this at all though and skates right to center ice to get ready for the game to begin.

Written option 1:

Being the stoic goaltender he is, Gino only reluctantly joins the illustrious game show. He probably lost a bet or something to Corrigan, who is busy laughing his behind off that Gino has to participate.

Thankfully soccer is huge in Italy so Gino ia able to hold his own in some of the challenges, bar those that require a lot of running. Basketball also works decently well with his size coming in clutch since it makes hitting some throws easier for him.

Baseball and American Football are a little worse but still manageable, hitting and using your body is a part of hockey as well, while holding a stick kind of emulates holding a baseball bat, yet swinging is something else entirely apparently.

All in all Gino did much better than anticipatef and his dry humor endeared him to the audience.
They were very willing to look past his terrible performances in swimming related contests. After all Gino's element is not water, it's ice.

It would be a duty to go and attend such an event. Unfortunately as part of his contract Tibuk Soonika agreed to participate in any media or event that would paint the Tampa Bay Barracuda in a good light. Without knowing exactly which events will be taking place I think we can make some reasonable guesses as to which ones Soonika will be good at. With his large frame Tibuk would likely excell in basketball events as well as certain football events. The ability to catch and control the puck would also likely benefit Soonika in parts like baseball. On the other side of coin though if there was any hitting events in baseball Tibuk might be challenged with such a wide field he could swing at. Similarly with a game like Soccer his longer stride might make controlling the ball more difficult. I think overall Tibuk would likely fair well but we wouldn't know until the festivities kick off.

Quote:Written Option 2: Home Opening nights are usually big shows for the hosting team. Fans are watching with anticipation, waiting for the first look at what their favourite teams are going to look like this season. How does your player try to make opening night special? Do they stay behind to sign autographs for the fans? Do they give it 120% to get a win for the first home game of the season? Do they do special celebrations when introduced in the pre-game ceremony?

At times like these, with the cost of living as high as ever, Jae-ik takes it upon himself to make the game viewing experience a good one for people. Tickets to games in Atlanta aren’t cheap, and when people go out for their entertainment at the arena, they expect to see a show.

Opening night is that, but more. It’s the chance to introduce the team to the fans, and your growing abilities after an offseason of training and review. Jae-ik absolutely tries to give his all in the home opener, and once the game is over, he stays late for autograph signings too. He hands out sticks and pucks to lucky fans, especially when (if) he is selected as one of the three stars of the game.

The team doesn’t necessarily do special celebrations, but Jae-ik makes sure to ham it up when scoring that first goal at home. He’s not a boastful person, preferring to do things quietly, with respect to his opponents. But everyone wants to see a show, so he gives it to them, even if it's a bit out of character.

Solaire has become more and more of a people’s champion, so to speak, since he’s gotten to the SHL. He’s realized that if he wants to accomplish his goals, he might as well have fun doing it and having the fans in his corner. So after his first game with the Aurora, Solaire stayed behind for hours after the game, to take pictures, sign autographs, and get some fans on the ice to let them feel what it’s like to be on an SHL team home ice. While most thought Solaire was crazy for doing so; Solaire just realized he wanted to give back to those who have given so much to him already. These are the backbones of people who will potentially help him get home one day, so might as well pay it forward right now by rewarding all who even came to see him play. Gotta pay it forward to make the world go round.
