Written Option 2: Even though the intensity of games usually picks up during the playoffs for many teams the push to make it to the playoffs, to get better seeding or to fight for those important points that determine draft order means that now is the last moment for teams and players to up their game. In the end you win or lose as a team so what does your player do to help their teammates to push their game to the next level? What even can be done this late into the season? Do they lead by example, pushing themselves as hard as they can and hoping rest do the same? Have a motivational speech or two? Come up with some team building exercises or activities out of the regular training? Host shared dinners among the whole team from here on out? How does your player help their team to get ready for playoffs?

With the regular season coming to a close this week, Chaewon and the Kraken are looking to solidify their spot near the top of their conference to have a favourable matchup in round 1 of the playoffs. Expectations were high coming into the season as Carolina made it game 7 of the cup finals last season, but they came out this season with a mediocre start and with other teams picking up wins and bolstering their roster in the off-season like San Diego, Maine, Ottawa who are all currently in the top 4, it will be difficult for Carolina to claim the #1 seed again in the conference. Chaewon is trying her best to pick up her play as she has taken over 900 faceoffs as of this post and is utilized as the top line center and top center on Carolina's powerplay too. She is looking to help carry the offense for her team and ensure the Kraken have a favourable matchup come round 1 of the playoffs (and hopefully have a deep playoff run again this season).

Written Option 2:

As the oldest player on the Colorado Raptors, Marineau is using this time to instill the values passed on from previous Raptors veterans to his younger teammates. One thing that was always talked about in the locker room is that every game matters and no matter where you are in the standings, you always have to give it your all. As an example, we are currently 5th in our conference, but we would like to jump into that 4th spot to get home-ice advantage in the playoffs. You only have an infinite amount of time in the juniors and you want to develop good habits for when you finally get your shot in the SHL. Marineau always leads by example with his play on the ice and his speeches off the ice, pumping up the team any chance he gets. With a few years of experience under his belt, he preaches the importance of gaining momentum going into the playoffs because you never know what can happen, as shown in Marineau's second season when the Raptors shocked the league ending up in the SMJHL finals. Marineau hopes to convey these important messages in his pre-game speeches, which usually come with big applause and a lot of excited shouting.

Task 2

William Salming is a specialist when it comes to playoff pushes. He finishes soon his 23rd season in the league. He really knows to motivate his teammates and push them forward. The first key thing is to keep spirit high already during the season from the beginning. Salming likes to motivate his team mates by keeping locker room speeches and reminding that every day is a good day to play responsible hockey and win hockey games that way. Salming likes to cheer for others and lift their spirit that way. It helps also to really put 100% effort for the playoff push during last two game weeks of the season. If you begin your playoff push only the last week, it can feel little bit weird. You need to have put a lot of effort already before that. It is not easy to switch attitude and game mode if you begin to play properly only during the last week of the season. So, begin the playoff push already from week 1 and things go well.

Written Option 1:

Dominic doesn't fight much anymore, and while he did last season, Dominic decided to cool off and to use his efforts on offense to help the team. If Dominic did get in a fight, it would be to put some life into his team and to wake them up. A good fight always helps to put some juice back into the team. It would definitely be a fair fight on Dominic's part, because he doesn't like fighting dirty. It would most likely start after a big hit and then they would get going right after. On how the fight would go, it would entirely depend on the other player. Dominic wouldn't go picking fights with a 6'6 defensemen, but would probably go after someone he could actually beat, meaning someone relative to his size or skill. Having a rating of 6 in fighting Dominic would probably get pounded no matter who he played.

"Jack Ellul doesn't really fight but he is a big lad that can hold his own!" the words from the colour commentator seem muffled as a ringing sound still echoes in Jack's ears as he skates to the penalty box. His teammates drop off his equipment discarded during the fight as Jack looks up to the jumbotron to see the replay. He watches as his opponent collides with Jack Ryan, the Walleye's goalie. It was the second time that night and Jack leaned back smiling knowing that he had eloquently communicated that there would not be a third. He hadn't meant to start a fight. He just wanted to make sure that things were clear when it came to crashing the net. It would not happen. It had been another season where the Walleye had been fighting tooth and nail to move up the table but were stuck in the middle. That tenacity though had made the team united and focused on protecting their guys.

There is only one team that Webb would willing drop the gloves for, it is the hated rivals of the Pride, Los Angeles Panthers.

Webb is strong enough to go toe to toe with almost anyone in the SHL, dropping the gloves isn't anything he is scared to do. The only reason Webb doesn't drop the gloves for just anyone is becuase he is too valuable on the ice. His job is to score goals, and help his team win on the score board not by pumping them up with a big fight.

But the Panthers are a special and any chance he gets to hurt one he is going to take it. There is a lot of hate between the two clubs. They both take pleasure in seeing the other fail. Because of this Webb is willing to put it all on the line to help his team win and a little bit for his own enjoyment.

Option 1:

Beck has had a number of fights in his career, so he likes to think that he knows a bit of strategy going in. It is true that gone are the days of SHL fights left and right, but some of the old goons of old have passed down some of their secrets. Towards the end of the WPG season, Beck would probably get in a fight with a San Francisco Pride player because it is very likely that we will match up with them in the first round (again). Beck understands the importance of the physical edge in the postseason, and he'll try to set that before the playoffs even roll around. Beck is definitely the instigator and will give the fight his all to make sure he ends up on top. If he's picking and choosing players, he'll probably go after someone skilled who could get rattled when he is going up against them later. The fight may not impact the game itself, but the seeds are sown for victory later.

If Thomas Hudson was going to get in a fight, I'm almost certain it would be in the final game against Winnipeg. On top of being Division rivals, it has been a very strange season series with Winnipeg so far. The last three games were in a stretch of 3 out of 4, with Texas winning the first 6-1, losing the second 1-0 and then losing the third also in an insane 9-8 bloodbath. The next 3 games are also very close together, sandwiched around a back to back with Atlanta in a stretch of 3 games in 6. The final game is in Winnipeg. I would expect, despite 'Peg having our number this season, they are far down in the standings and will probably be frustrated. Baron Samedi would start the fight since it looks like they are having a very rough go of it this season. I don't think Thomas would win the fight, but he wouldn't back down either. (168 words)

Erik Johnson doesnt prefer to fight but he has the ability to throw down if he needed to, luckily the rest of the SMJHL seems to respect his authority and the players around him as he hasnt been in a single fight this season despite having the capability of laying someone on their ass if they so chose to take a run at one of EJs numerous talented forwards upfront or the twins on the 2nd pair.Being a big body on the back end means that ej is laying the lumber alot aswell so its known he can put some force into his hits. if a fight were to break out or someone were to take a run on one of ejs main guys, whether it be The Scot or Laffy, Gauthier, Mel, even one of the twins if he were on the ice, ejs not backing down, despite being a top pairing d for this team, his job is defense, not just his zone and the net, but to defend his players, to defend everyone around him to make sure they can continue not only play and be productive, possibly avoiding injury, but Erik Johnson would love a great excuse to make some more hockey smiles just like his own, not with a cheap puck to the face or shoving them from behind of course, hes not like that, but the oppurtunity to make everyone miss his top 6 teeth right at the front of the mouth might make you think twice about running over one of my guys again
