In a cold dark world, a hero emerged called Louis Belanger. He was born tall with dark hair. He outgrew his native planet to live in Canada, which he later renounced to join France. There, he stood tall to defend the rights of hockey player that sucked like @HillsHaveHats . He needed to make sure that even though these players could not be proper hockey player, they still believed they could. Unfortunately, Oliver grew jealous of Louis and travelled from England to Louis's native planet to become a villain taking on some powers that Louis had, this is how Oliver had the skills to play in the SHL. Doing this, he became Louis's kryptonite. Louis only had one weakness on the ice and it was to see Oliver in his locker room before a game. When that happens, Louis needs helps breathing so he doesn't destroy Oliver with his superior brain and physical strength. This explains why Oliver has to change alone in a dark locker room before each game.
A hero to me in the world of hockey has many meanings. It can be something simple like heroically helping a teammate in distress, or maybe being a hero when it comes to making a huge game saving or game winning play on the ice. A hero can be so many things but for me personally, I think being a hero is just being the best version of yourself that you can be and showing up every single day ready to commit to the sport we all love and leave it all out on the ice. A hero in the SHL/SMJHL is someone who is willing to go above and beyond to find the success in others and bring it out of them even when they don't see it. A leader in a way, is a hero in that sense, that they are here to lift us up, guide us to success and bring out the best of our players in many ways. I am very thankful for all of the leaders and the leadership of the Grizzlies, it's made this time here so much fun.
Yoshinobu Ishii moonlights as "The Bushido Bear" where he patrols the mostly tame and boring streets of Great Falls, seeking to wear down his opponents with his staunch defensive abilities before hitting his signature "face off" ability which, trust me, is far too gruesome to describe here. His greatest nemesis is Railman @Prayl07 and his devout blind follower KUM @hotdog, who like most villains, see themselves as the true heroes, but we know the truth here. Why are they in Great Falls? What carnage are they looking to reap? As Railman spins his stick around over and over and over, The Bushido Bear waits patiently for the right opportunity to strike before ripping a shot through and into his opponent, he has an immaculate shooting percentage. He also simply just dodges and parries KUM's weird sticky substance...where does that come from, anyway? The Bushido Bear will not apply a "face off" to Railman, since he's good for business, and not sure why he's hanging around Great Falls. Maybe he just wants new friends? Is he not a fan of KUM?
Yoshi strives to protect Great Falls, but is eager to lend a hand to a big city. He's intrigued by a faraway place called Philadelphia...
A hero can be someone who put his team on his shoulders and still be able to bring his best night in and night out.
For my player, I don't think I can consider myself as a hero for my team, but that doesn't mean I don't try my best every game.
I got less goals this season so it's something I will work on, but defensively with my line mates Thomas Hudson and Brandon Gilleyes gave us a chance every night to win the game.
With our team a bit younger this season and without a superstar, it was hard on us this season. Playing with the guys mentionned earlier and having some PP and PK time, it helped grow my game.
I will probably be the 4th best forwards next season, so my game will have to take a next step if I want to be the hero and bring the Renegades to the playoffs once again.
Little words about my brother who I think is the hero of this team. Starting goalie for probably his last season with a depleted team and his stats showned that our team didn't helped him enough.
I feel that our hero in Quebec City has got to be Shiny Rainbow. They're always there to help, always there to take the big faceoff, always there when we need a goal. I've learned a lot from them over the past two seasons and can hope to become as good as they have been in their career and have my own owlettes to look up to me like their super hero. Shiny has been the greatest example of someone who can not only show up in the clutch, but make sure everyone else puts in the extra effort to make it happen for the team. When this season ends and Shiny moves onto the big show there will be a void in the locker room that I can only hope to fill, but that name will echo in the rafters as one of the greatest to ever wear a Quebec City jersey... which always seemed to end up as a cape after a few scraps.
There are many different types of heros in both media and in hockey. There's the classical heroes that inspire others with their abilities, this would be your goal scorers. There's epic heroes who inspire others with their tales and experience, this embodies a respected veteran player who's been around the league a long time. There's your everyman hero that people can identify with, this would be a depth player who works hard for every bit of ice time they get. There's anti-heroes, those who do good things in the end but do questionable things to get there, these would be power forwards or enforcers. There's reluctant heroes, those who do things that are difficult for the greater good, defensive defensemen come to mind, sacrificing their bodies to block shots. There's Byronic heroes, who wear their heart on their sleeve, this would be a player who plays with emotion and deeply cares. Then there's superheroes, and nobody embodies this better than Justin Time.
Spaceman Spiff, already a figment of his own imagination, is well set up to be a superhero. He comes with a superhero name, a secret identity, and his own spaceship, when it functions. In this alternate world, he melds the comic strip with hockey and adds superhuman speed. His blaster now fires pucks with pinpoint accuracy, a key weapon in his fight against the terrifying Leo. Part lion, part man, this creature never sleeps and rarely eats real food. This makes Leo ravenous and unpredictable and a constant threat to Spiff. Once, they were allies, but hunger and exhaustion twisted Leo's mind until he became more beast than man. They became enemies, clashing over the Canadian Prairies from their new homes in Winnipeg (for Leo) and Edmonton (for Spiff). Spiff is strong, but Leo is relentless, and his only hope is that one day Leo may find the rest he needs, and a proper breakfast, and return to the man he used to be.

Option 2:
Everyone loves a good hero. When you combine a hero with sports, it's a whole different ballgame. There is a lot that goes into becoming a hero in sports. There's the obvious, making a play to win a game, especially a championship, but that's not the only thing an athlete can do. We know the impact we have on people's lives, and there is no better example of that than when you meet the kids.
If you ever wanted to feel like a hero to people, and you're an athlete, go and visit a children's hospital. You see and hear about the struggles they go through and it humbles you at how they look at you. There is no one braver or stronger than those kids, but to them you are the greatest hero. You play a kid's game for money, but they still make you feel like what you do really has a meaning. Whether you had a bad game or a great game, those kids will always treat you like the biggest hero in their life and that's what you fight for. To give those kids hope. That's what I cherish the most when we talk about heroes in sports.

A hero is somebody who sacrifices their personal goals and ambitions for the good of the team. They may not get the glory and recognition they deserve in the form of counting stats or awards or anything but are absolutely vital and integral to the team's growth and development as a franchise. There is no person this can sum up greater than @bobdigi9 in Edmonton. A max earning player, a fun locker room presence and an all around great dude he has consistently performed the two way role on the 2nd line. Second line minutes with less ice time and opportunity to score can be a bit of a bummer to somebody looking for a Hall of Fame career or for stats. After all who doesn't want to see the player they put so much time in do well. But having those people who can make those sacrifices lead to cup winning teams. Just look at @jeffie43 in his time in Edmonton as the 2c being integral to the s73 cup win for instance.
“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. ... There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.”
In this super mysterious alternate world Toivo Jokinen would be called.. The Joker. A hero in this timeline. His super power? Money of course, I just can’t get enough of it. Call him a ripoff Ironman or Batman, where the money pays to be ‘super’. Always by his side with an actual super power would be Rondellus-Ringo Ramaat ( @Ronniewalker ). His power would be controlling time (how else would he have one of the best plus minus’ in the league as a rookie?). The Joker would fund the heroic conquests they get in to and be the ‘face’ of the duo, but really Ronnie would be who does all the actual work.
Their villain? League point leader Mel Guolla of course. The biggest threat to Ronnie’s impressive rookie stat line who can see through Rondellus’ ability to freeze time, at least partially so it’s not as effective against Mel and their loyal band of knights as it is on others.
Written Option 2: I think Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava is a leader for the Chicago Syndicate since he joined the team in season eighty one. In season eighty one Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava carried Chicago and finished second in goals in the league with one behind Webbb (18 more then the next best teammate which is the biggest gap on any team) and finished in the top ten for points (6 more then the next best teammate) and had solid advanced stats/metrics in comparison to his teammates. An important note is SUHS finished with the least average time on the ice then anyone else in the top thirty points in the SHL making the most of his time. Following this performance Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava won the Aidan Richard award for season eighty one for the most imrpvoed player in the SHL and also was nominated for the Ron Mexico MVP award. In the offseason Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava was named captain of the Syndicate and is once again leading the team in points.
Barcus Juneau definitely does not consider himself a hero on his team. Nearing the end of his first season with the Philadelphia Forge, he has reached the point where he's very comfortable in the dressing room and on the ice with his teammates, but he's still learning the ropes.
While his play has been decent for a rookie, it has not exactly turned heads. In 62 games this season, he achieved third-star status only once. But in the room, Barcus has started speaking up in moments where a quiet but firm word was needed. Leadership is a form of heroism, and while Barcus will never be outspoken, he thinks that he can help in the collective effort of steering his team to success.
Special recognition must go to the Forge's on-ice hero this season: Tony Soprano. The Philly center sits third in league goals with 45 in 62 games, and has been one of the few unambiguous bright spots in an otherwise underwhelming season.
