When Hollywood came knocking about a hockey flick, I thought, “Movies? Sure, I can coach these clueless stars.” They offered me peanuts, but who cares—I get a cameo, right? The studio clearly cared more about explosions and love triangles than they did about nailing the nuances of puck drops and power plays. But hey, that’s where I come in. I insisted on the essentials: stickhandling that doesn’t look like they’re flailing, gear that isn’t just some costume department mismatch, and a believable locker room vibe.

Most of the time, I’m rolling my eyes at the director yelling “Action!” in the middle of faceoff practice. But I’ll admit, I got pretty obsessive about the details. I refused to let them film a shootout scene without at least some semblance of real technique. My cameo? I skated onto the ice in the big final game, pulling off a slick move past the hero, then winking at the camera. Classic Grindle.

This sort of job is right up Antonio Flusso's alley. The type of job he would want to turn into a career, when he hangs up the skates and needs something in his post professional hockey playing life. Get to be on a movie set, wear sunglasses, get credit and do almost no real work whatsoever. The cameo is a crucial part of the negotiation. Ample screen time is important for the brand and for future on-camera opportunities to arise. It might be a minimal role, but it needs to be funny and stand out as a way to advertise Flusso's acting talent. Enough so that the fans say "Wow, he wasn't as bad at that as most athletes!". The actual hockey and how it appears on film is secondary. The main thing is being enjoyable to be around on set while still commanding respect. Networking is key here. The quality and content of the movie is irrelevant, as this is a major Hollywood production. Make friends with the star, with the director, and most importantly, the producers. This could be a stepping stone to an executive producer role, the most lucrative payout for zero work in the whole industry.

Chungledown B was tailor made for the silver screen. He's almost worried about taking this opportunity, as it won't be long until the Hollywood vampires start circling and his inevitable climb to fame begins.

Alas, that is a problem for another day. As a hockey consultant Bim would invite these no good thespians to join him at his home on Liviathan, sailing the Celestine Sea, salt water in his hair and gumbo in his guts. He would put these sift Californians through the ringer - rope ladders, balance beams, barrel lifts. Before they even think of stepping foot on the ice they must first learn to seamlessly traverse the isles on the great floating city. Only then will they be ready to strap a couple rapiers to their boots and attempt to learn the game of hockey.

After that he'll just fire pucks at them until they learn to skate well enough to get out of the way. No better way to learn that by getting your ass kicked.

Sunrise would probably decline the job given the lack of interest of the people in charge. "If you want to make money, you should probably treat it earnestly and seriously" was a saying that his mother (who he does not mention much, probably for not standing out as much as his father) would often say and he would probably see through the facade of easy money over harming your own legacy.

Would say there is a very good chance that he would be dumped out of the project even if he chose to stuck around for insisting that things are properly respectable. The only type of movie I can imagine Sunrise sticking around with would probably have to be something akin to the Iron Claw, a movie that treated its subject seriously and presented a rather realistic version of events without any major sugarcoating. He is satisfied with his money and probably would not bother with a cameo for his own ego's sake.

Following the success of Score! A hockey musical, this movie will be about the love of the game, and throwing away the score, and just playing for the fun of the sport. Of course, that by itself would flop, so the plan is to make it like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first movie will be a first Avengers movie of sorts. It is an action movie that will bring together various superstars in hockey, one of which being Shadow Fenix. Then they will face off against an NHL team. Never before have NHL players been simulated against SHL players in a blockbuster this big, so when the sim hits, it'll hit HARD. Since Fenix is just doing a cameo, he'll be the guy in the penalty box that watches the main star Connor McDavid after he takes a big old penalty. Then this penalty is what forces the game to go to overtime.

The movie is about an up and coming SHL team in the 60s who broke the curse on their team and finally won a championship after decades of bad luck and misfortune. The Los Angeles Panthers were struggling to get over the hump, but this movie tells the true story of ghosts, curses, and two exorcisms. Jamie Fraser plays TURG TURG, an up and coming young player who had promising seasons in the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League before coming up to the big show. Once in Los Angeles he was possessed by a demon of rage and was subject to violent outbursts on the ice. You can even see it in his Ice Level cards from that era. Fraser's cameo ends as TURG leaves for another team, still possessed by that demon, and the team and organization do not realize the extent of the occult influences for a few more seasons.

If Aslak is pulling off one of the highlight reel moments of the season, something has gone terribly wrong in Quebec City. The most likely outcome would be a sequence of blocked shots, one of those stretches of two or three blocks. At some point it’s not even intentional, he’s sore and wanting to get off the ice but can’t even move and the third puck just finds his ribcage and makes him want to pass out.

Of course, as we all know from the cinematic masterpiece that is Goon, sometimes even the most unlikely sources of moments can have their moment in the sun. Maybe Aslak scores a goal off his face, or his ass, or his kneecap. Not even a kicking motion, just “Welp there was a knee there and now it’s gone but hey we scored.” Stranger things have happened in this game. But for Quebec City’s case, let’s hope they’re not relying on Aslak for help offensively in the playoffs.

As the clock winds down the Winnipeg Aurora are tied against their division rivals. Juan is gassed but being the number one defencemen that is just his life now and he is use to it. A missed check by one of Winnipegs rookie forwards creates a 1 on 1 going back toward the Winnipeg zone. Juan speeds down the ice and gets into contact range with the opposing player. He tries to deke Juan but Juan is use to much better moves playing against Langston on a regular basis. Juan easily stick lifts him and strips the puck, so fast in fact, before anyone notices Juan launches a wicked pass straight to one one of his electric forward who is now on a break away going the other way. Winnipeg forwards never miss an opportunity like this and the next thing you know the goal horn is going off and the Aurora lead with not enough time for the other team to cone back. Even though it was a meaningless game near the end of the regular season it resonated how Juan always tries to Win regardless of the odds stacked against the Aurora.

An iconic quirk of sports statistics is the way that data can be refined and granulated to the point of absurdity, leading to oddly specific stats that make for curious factoids that provide little in the way of useful analysis. Whether that be the batter that hits .600 on Tuesday matinee games against left handed pitchers from the Dominican Republic or the infamous Nick Bosa sacks stat, there is always a way to break down the numbers to make an interesting tidbit or create a narrative. On the final day of the regular season, Jesus Murphy set a league record for hits received by players skating more than 20 miles per hour at the time of contact that required the receiver to be removed by concussion spotters. The stat was brought up by the broadcast crew after the fifth occurrence early in the third period which tied the record. Upon his return for the final few shifts, Murphy was once again plastered by a high hit in open ice and promptly removed by training staff for a sixth time that night. When this "record" was brought up in a postgame media scrum, Murphy simply drooled and grunted while pointing at one of his socks.

Prompt 2:
While Wizard had some incredible moments over the season there was one game that stood out in recent memory, The Dragons were playing away and the game was a dead even tie with no scores on either side and the Dragons had the advantage, things looked to be trending in the right direction for the Dragons then all of a sudden. Wizard has the most catastrophic whiff that anyone has ever seen. He shakes it off and continues to play but that was not the end of it. Three minutes later and the Dragons are on the Power Play again... Wizard goes to shoot and slips launching the puck the wrong way. Wizard was clearly off his game and something was admist. The coach pulled him aside sat him on the bench for a bit and talked to him telling him to pull it together or the team will lose this. Wizard goes back out one more time and does the exact same thing whiffing. This will not be a highlight reel but a fail reel.

The movie, "Ice Dreams," is a very cheesy movie about hockey. The studio aims for a feel-good story with minimal focus on accurate hockey portrayal. Furthermore, the studio, as not having much knowledge about hockey, had the main goal of making money rather than portraying authentic hockey scenes. Kevin Kim was invited into one scene of the movie. Frustrated by the lack of authenticity, Kevin suggested improvements, but his advice was completely ignored. The film followed a clumsy figure skater who accidentally joins a hockey team. Hilarious misunderstandings and slapstick humor ensue on and off the ice. Kevin cringed at the unrealistic gameplay scenes but takes pride in the few moments of genuine hockey action he managed to influence. Kevin's cameo comes during a pivotal game scene. Kevin Kim appeared as himself in the climax, delivering a bone-crushing check to the antagonist, allowing the protagonist to score the winning goal.

After being approached by a studio that has decided to make a 30 for 30: the MICHAEL FITTED story. I has initially thought and accepted under the thought they were looking for some skaters and other background for the movie. However when Shawn Pawn finally read the script. This movie was not about hockey at all, hockey was a complete afterthought. The movie instead focuses on the Drug fueled benders of Michael Fitted alongside other Tampa Bay Barracuda Superfan James Harden. So when I had finally read the script, and realized that I had agreed to take the camera crew along and get b-role at some of the hottest destinations around Tampa alongside some commentary on what would be a normal night. It was a bit of a shock. Shawn Pawn had largely been considered a tea tootler finding a way to stay out of the Tampa Night life. So this is the beginning of when Shawn Pawn's life became unhinged.
