As the season draws onward and the playoffs near, players must dig deep into their stamina wells to keep their eyes on the prize and not let the grind of the season affect their performance. Rence Sykut is a big proponent of European style body recovery techniques to keep the mind and body fresh over the course of a grueling 66 game season and playoff run. First and foremost, Rence encourages his teammates to join in on time in the sauna and on the massage table to reinvigorate their bodies that take a continual beating over the course of months. These methods have been used for hundreds of years across northern Europe and have shown proven benefit in recovery for athletes and normal folks as well. Furthermore, team rituals, such as kicking a soccer ball around, ping pong competitions, and golf outings help take his teammates' minds off hockey while still keeping the competitive juices flowing during the season.

Opt 1:

It's hard to imagine a scenario in which, with his team basically assured playoffs already, that Marek would end up dropping the gloves. Marek has no history of fighting, which combined with his Czech origins may lead the opposition to believe he would be a pushover and a good target as one of the top scorers on the Forge to jump and wake up their own team. I could see it happening against Tampa, who have performed below expectations for the majority of this season after flying high in the previous few. Jumping Marek is something to be done at any individuals own peril however, as while he does not have a high aggression or fighting stat, he is actually quite proficient in terms of balance and strength, and has slightly above average size. In conjunction with no longer being a young player in the league who takes shit from others, i think Marek would hold his own and hopefully curtail any benefit the Barracuda player hoped to gain for his team. Oh and avoiding injury would be nice. In the end, the Forge will win, anyway.

Option 2:

I think I can consider myself a veteran of the league now and I believe I'm a leader on the ice for my team. If there's one thing I've noticed in the SHL, it's that the push in the final third of the season is real. Teams know when to pick up the pace and when the playoff and seeding race starts. If a team isn't ready for that late season grind, it could crush their chances at contending.

As we get into the fight here in Tampa, I just make sure I'm leading by example. My practices run a little longer, I bump up the physicality during games, and I'm much more vocal on the ice and on the bench. I basically want to show my team the intensity that is needed for these games. If I'm pushing myself at all levels, the hope is the team sees just how important these are and how locked in we need to be to make a serious run. This is where teams separate from each other, the pretenders and contenders. I want to be a contender, so I have to show my team that I'm ready for the challenge.

Quote: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?

My player has a players only team meeting and harkens back to the wise words of the great Jarvis Landry. I remind them that weakness is contagious and that it has no place in the locker room. That unless their skin is hanging off their bone, they got more left in the tank. As a team we need leaders to rise up and push towards greatness. Every game is a new opportunity and should be treated as such. nothing is ever out of reach and should be viewed as a wash. Make each minute on each line count and build on that foundational premise towards greatness.

Then he schedules a players only evening out but uses it to have a formal dinner and challenge teammates to give up distractions like social media, drinking, etc. until the season ends. Maybe there isn't a specific set of wrods, but accountability will lead to the desired results and hopefully produce greatness on the ice.

2. Although Quebec is already in a good position standing wise, they have made a point about not letting their foot off the gas. They are taking ever round of the playoffs seriously, and they really want to get this three-peat, none more than Levon. Levon was traded to Quebec by Vancouver after Quebec won the Four Star cup, so he only has a cup, while most of the team has two. This has been great motivation for Levon, and he has being a leader on the ice. The game is played on the ice, and he has decided that that is where his impact should be the greatest; leading the team to wins. This is a skilled and experienced playoff team, they are a contender and they know it. They know how to win and what has to be done to win. They understand what a teams needs to be champions.

Written option 2:

You can look at it from two points of view I think. First, you could look at it in world as a player of any team you could argue. It’s a long season. You can burn yourself out really easy going into these late. Season games after the trade deadline. So maybe you don’t quite give it your all you give you know 93 9495% just whatever amount you can get away with that’s enough to outdo your competition, but that’s it. You could look at it as theirs is. . So maybe you don’t quite give it your all you give you know 93 9495% just whatever amount you can get away with that’s enough to outdo your competition, but that’s it. You could look at it as there’s there’s you know point of a bit of familiarity with your opponent playing different teams in different cities and night and night out, including your own home city is different from to the playoffs where you know you’ve got 4 to 7 rounds with that opponent and you could say teams that are on top San Francisco and what not perhaps a little more prone to easing off a little bit putting just enough effort into win, but maybe it’s not your best effort you save that you could argue there’s maybe a little gamesmanship there where you’re trying to fool the opponent and this is all so so Can give. You can also take a quick look at this from a gaming point of view this site are gaining the most TP they’re gonna have for the season going into the playoffs. Their bills are finalized so you could argue that whatever they put points into is gonna be just that much better so that gives you that extra gear that you physically did not have Beforehand.

written option 1

My player, Leonard Wood, would never intentionally start a fight. It's not in his nature to pick fights with other skaters. He would however stick up for his teammates and stick up for himself. That would cause him to engage in a fight. As it typically happens, emotions run higher towards the end of the season as teams are fighting for playoff spots. So fights are bound to flare up in this stressful time of the year. You would find Woody in the mix defending his teammates, unafraid to put his team at a disadvantage by ending up in the penalty box. He would however do his best to avoid a game misconduct and miss any more than the five minutes for fighting. That's where he would really hurt his team. So he'd just take his jabs at the other guy, rile up the crowd and his teammates, then move on to sit in the box for five minutes. No need to let things fester. Just move on and keep your eyes on the bigger prize: The Challenge Cup.

Prpich's build isn't one that you would associate with a fighter. However, I see him as the type of guy who would be first to jump in to stick up for a teammate. Especially now as he is getting older, he would gladly step up if one of the younger and more talented players on his team were to take a nasty hit. It's not necessarily about winning the fight. I don't see him as a good fighter, but also not a particularly bad fighter. He would be more willing to fight than he is skilled or tough. It's about being a leader and showing that he is willing to go to bat for his team, even though he is who he is. I think that because of his history with the team, seeing someone like him ready to throw his hands for the team would send a clear message to the bench: It doesn't matter who you are. We're all in this together.

Thanks to EAB and sulovien for the sigs!

All though Hamilton has been on a losing streak when it comes to making the playoffs sense my arrival in the SHL, I still work my ass off every day and every week. That dose not change if we are playoff bound or looking at a last place finish. My goal with Will is to always be as competitive as I can be and give my manager and coach the best version of me that I can ice. If and when we miss out, it just drives me that much more to become a better player and hopefully let my teammates feed off of my work so that they can be a better version of themselves. I feel that the best thing that I can do for my team to be successful, is just be the best me. Train, dont miss growth opportunities, show up and be present and always try and gain any advantage I can find!

Prompt 2

Seeing his teammates, especially the younger players, squeezing their sticks so hard as if to choke the life from the wood, Baku does what he’s always sought to do. This late in the season, fighting for a playoff spot with an aging roster, Baku injects some levity. He’s found you can both play hard and not take things too seriously. He’ll make a little joke or play an incredibly small prank on teammates. Laughter truly is the best medicine, and creating those moments of humor and joy helps players loosen up between periods and hit the ice refreshed and refocused. Outside of that, Baku is always one of the hardest working players on and off the ice, modeling what elite professional conditioning looks like. When someone’s had a rough game, he will try to do something nice to take their focus off the mistakes, even for a few minutes. Baku views that as his role as captain—after 13 seasons in the league without a letter, Olubori was honored when his teammates and coaches voted him the new captain of the Baltimore Platoon. As they battle toward a 12th straight playoff appearance, he hopes to live up to their faith.

Option 1

My player is far from a fighter, but if the need arise, he will do what it takes to make himself respected. He's not the one searching for trouble, but he will not run from it either.
In a sport where physical contact is an important part of the game and where the intensity is shuch at a high level that a fight can happen at any moment in the game, but we can see more of them at the end of it.
Émile doesn't really have a rival in another team that he will be more than willing to fight against, so it's hard to give a name, but the «heavy pounds» of Toronto Jordan Bamford and Micoolis Gonnawinthecup are two players that he won't drop against because he still want to be able to play... and live haha!
I have no fight at the SHL level and two losses in the SMJHL so I avoid to fight as much as possible, but sometime you need to do it.
