A hero off the ice is the person who puts in the work and pushes his teammates to be better than they thought possible. It doesn't even need to be one of the best on the team, if a 4th liner shows up before the rest of the team and makes the effort day in and day out it will rub off on their teammates.

Philadelphia has a team of those and hard to say who was the "hero" who started it as its so engrained in their culture it seems like it's always been the way.

The team and the fans notice when someone is giving 110% every shift even if it doesn't show up on the scores heat. Getting to the dirty areas, winning the 50/50 battles and sticking up for teammates endears themselves to the fans similar to the Maltby Draper McCarty lines on those stacked wings teams of old. And when those people show up with a timely goal the momentum it provides to the team is something else.

Prompt 2

I always strive to be the hero for my team. As a goalie, games can often fall on my shoulders. It is truly not always easy to have this weight on me, but it is part of what I signed up for. I understand that sometimes my efforts may fall short or I don’t have the game that people were expecting me to have. But that never stops me from trying. Being a hero on the ice motivates me to be my best. This also extends off the ice too as it means much more than just my in game performance. I need to be a role model for the rookies that come in as well as those who are already there. By putting my best foot forward I can assure that I’m leading a good team with a good head on their shoulders into battle. These qualities are what makes a hockey hero!

Written option 2:

Few positions can compare to the swing in praises and criticism than playing goalie. You can go from Hero to Zero in a matter of minutes, or vice versa. A couple of moments out of positions, or a few 1-1 saves are all it takes to totally make or break a game, almost regardless of everything else that happened. Given that, its probably most accurate to say that on the ice, Ju-gong fluctuates between being a hero, and being far from it. Off the ice is a little different, there are a lot of things that could go into that. Between helping teammates, meeting fans, and doing other otherwise positive actions, it’s hard to say exactly what elevates someone to a special status. For the most part, the Montreal goaltender almost always does what he believes is good and helpful to others, but for him that’s just how one should live their life. Why celebrate doing the nice, little things for others, when being nice to others should be the expectation? He’s certainly not a hero in his own eyes, but everyone see’s things differently.

prompt 1

dieter frühstück in an alternate universe is the almighty Block Man. the almighty Block Man has the superpower of Blocking things. this Blocking power means that he can absorb any punch, shot, you name it and not take any damage because of his Blocking powers. basically, he's immune to any sort of injury because of this. it's a cop-out power to have but it falls in line with his own player profile, being a guy that can very easily block shots and throw hits. dieter also has another superpower - immense strength. as a player who's begun to throw more hits out on the ice and already standing at a massive 6'9", it makes sense that this tall german has superhuman strength and the ability to stop criminals with his own power. the almighty Block Man doesn't really have any enemies because he is a relatively young superhero and he hopes that this stays that way.

In an alternate world, Blade Hunter becomes the superhero known as The Specter, a guardian of New Orleans and the SHL's underworld. Wearing black armor with glowing purple lights, he moves like a ghost with his cape trailing mist, because hell to the yeah on mist and as much of it as possible. so much mist it makes him hard to see. His powers inclue the Phantom Shift, a muthafuckin' ability to vanish mid play and reappear anywhere on the rink in a puff of fog, and his stick, The Widowmaker, which can launch slapshots that paralyze opponents. He also commands The Chill, a supernatural aura that slows enemies and deafens crowds with dread when things get too heated. His arch-nemesis is a corrupted former teammate turned villain called The Bayou Bender, an illusionist from the Tampa Bay Barracuda who controls swamp water and uses it to flood rinks and confuse senses. We need a comic book on this, stat.

I've always been interested in the unsung hero. As fans looking at the team from the outside we can see the role players and can identify them as being "unsung" but it is always interesting to hear from players who talk about the locker-room dynamics and the impact that is not readily available. From a hockey perspective it can be that steady veteran voice that steadies the ship during rough times or stressful moments. Or perhaps the locker-room DJ who keep the mood light and energetic as things go. Within the SHL it is no different, across the league there are players who stat-lines may not scream hero but are core parts of the team's LR and allow for people to feel connected and involved. Those are the hero's I'm most interested in, the small actions that make a difference... that and the one-hit-wonder playoff run performers! Those players that come out of nowhere, play incredibly for the playoffs, then disappear into the void again. Something about them I also just love.

Written Option 1:

You know I’ve been thinking about this PT since it came out which I know it doesn’t seem like that long. It’s only Monday but what would be a fantastic hockey related superpower for my player?

I guess it would be better to set about defining who my player is. So what kind of player is Brooklyn Physt? Well for starters she’s a defenseman. She’s not overly offensively gifted but not terrible. She’s solid defensively but not not overly amazing. Just definitely not flashy. She’s if anyone can remember these days Kind of like a necklace Lidstrom, but maybe a couple calibres down.

OK, so I guess that means positional generally always in the right place not unbeatable not the perfect defenceman by any stretch and certainly none of the calibre to take over an entire game herself. Generally, there have been instances mind you. We could do something quite boring, like having an innate sense above and beyond the sort of natural evolution of hockey, but to be honest, we could do better. Why not have a bit of minor teleportation just take it to that super level that being in position all the time you’re always where you need to be. No ifs, ands, or butts. I think that’s definitive for her.

While making plays on the ice is certainly important to being a sports hero, there's a lot more to it than just that. A hero shows up and puts in the work, shows up early and stays late. A hero gives teammates a helping hand, whether that's encouragement during a struggle, or a high five when they score. A hero doesn't only show up when its required, but puts in the time outside of practice, and in the offseason, too. Hockey is a team sport, and heroics don't just include dropping a sick goal in OT, although that certainly helps. A hero treats everyone fairly, from their superstar teammates, to the janitor re-stocking the toilet paper in the locker room bathroom. At the end of the day winning is great, and I'm all for it, but you can be great on the ice and a jerk the rest of the time, and I certainly wouldn't consider that heroic at all.
