When Wide peepo happy 3 koviu walked into the St.Louis scarecrows locker room, everyone was just happy to see him as adding a player of his magnitude is going to be a great building block moving forward. it was great to see other high-end draft picks like Jeff Santiago, Dan Baltisberger, and Ed Balls on the team. He knows those guys are going to be bringing the offense. Their skills at their first official team practice were on display. Wide Peepo Happy 3 Koivu is going to help on the defensive side of things and be a steady stay-at-home guy for the st.Louis scarecrows. I think they are going to complement those new drafts. Finally, wide Peepo Happy 3 Koivu was also happy to play for them as he wants to help this team win as they haven't been able to have any success in the smjhl recently.

Aleksandr Iskandrov had a great time meeting tommy westbrook but this time i upd. initially, aleksandr met tommy westbrook but this time i upd mid meditation. as he finished his meditation tommy westbrook but this time i upd got up and shook aleksandrs hand saying "I know you from another world." unbeknownst to aleksandr, tommy westbrook but this time i upd was his friend from an alternate reality, where instead of meeting in kelowna, they met in the hamilton steelhawks shl team. additionally, aleksandr met a certain goofy man named ben waters jr. who was incredibly helpful when it came to locating the practice facilities and the like. then he proceeded to have a conversation with the gm, artermis, who he reprimanded for picking him 11th overall as a surprise, as he ruined his mock draft. Very recently, the Kelowna Knights front office was able to acquire Samee in a trade for a couple of thirds. We had a great time introducing him to the team as well despite him being late. tommy westbrook but this time i upd had a great time pushing samee around, as he stands at 6 foot 9, and samee sits at 2 feet. but despite our differences in size, we found that as we meshed together we are all the same on the inside.

When I entered the locker room I was stunned by the beauty and quality of it all. The large Outlaws logo lit up on the ceiling. By virtue of being a 5th round pick I was relatively unknown, so I introduced myself to some of the veterans like: Stephan Gill, Joni Hakala, and Connor O'Byrne. I also met some of the more highly touted rookies like Lord Farquaads, Reed Kobo, and Marty Sanderson the III. After introductions I swept my eyes across the room and finally settled on my locker. I sat there awestruck, seeing my name emblazoned across the back, and the number nineteen stitched onto the beautiful red jerseys. I was then summoned into the office of the general managers. Here I was introduced to Fluw and Big Newff, where they outlined their plan to build a successful team around myself and the other youngsters I had met earlier. After the plan I thanked them for taking a chance on me and told them that they wouldn’t regret their decisions. As I was leaving the locker room and glanced back at my jersey one last time as a single tear shed from my eye, because I knew I had finally achieved my dream.

well it was a fun time to step into a locker room i have long been apart of but on the outside looking in. It was clear from the get go that ace was stepping in, towards a leadership role for the young ace. Yes he means captain. Anything less than being the captain of this club in the coming months will be an utter failure as his brother was captain of his expansion smjhl club since day one. Another thing to note was that one of the GMs refused to welcome luffy ... erm i mean ace to the team with open arms. Yes i'm talking about the one and only flex. Not only did he not welcome ace into the locker room he decided to repeatedly ignore him in many instances and ace has already asked for a trade out, to play alongside his forum presense brother none other than ace. More to come.

When Jolmi Koivu and all of his Season 64 Simulation Major Junior Hockey League Draft draft mates arrived in the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League team Colorado Raptor's locker room, they we're greeted with great enthusiasm by their teammates. When they all arrived in the Colorado Raptors locker room, there was great fan fare, first off it started with a tour of the facilities. They did a tour of the weight room, the locker room, and all the other facilities that they would need to know to get acquainted with their new home town hockey rink. After the initial tour was over it was time to meet the rookies new team mates. When the rookies arrived in the locker room there was a great big party thrown for the newly arrived draftees. The big jamboree included a large table that included every food item that could be imagined, with countries from all over the world represented.

Being a Pokemon in a decidedly not-Pokemon world, Shiny Shuckle wasn't sure what to expect from the Colorado Raptors. Their logo bears a resemblance to some species of Pokemon, which was slightly confusing at first. Once that was cleared up, Shiny Shuckle was able to focus on meeting the other members of the team. The post-draft luncheon was a boisterous affair; all of the players from the current roster, front office, many alumni, and a lot of assorted family members came out to greet Shuckle and his fellow draftees and their families. Everyone was really nice and welcoming, only having nice things to say.
When lunch was served, Shuckle wasn't sure about the menu options; the foods in this world have been complicated. For one thing, Shuckle's diet is strictly Berries; Pecha, Pinap, and Oran berries are usually his favorites. A few trainers and dieticians in the course of his (very short thus far) hockey career have tried to steer him toward carbs and proteins. Those that have been able to parse Shiny Shuckle's request for fruits have found complications with catering to his sensitivities and allergies to pesticides and other compounds. He has to eat organic fruits with no profilin or bromelain. All that to say that the caterers in Colorado were pleasantly prepared. While everyone else chose from a menu with a chicken, fish, and salad options, Shiny Shuckle's plate was loaded up with organic strawberries, blueberries, apricots, and figs. It might be a small gesture to some, but it really made Shiny Shuckle feel welcome and it was a great start to his time with the Raptors. Code: 277 Words

Sophie Bordeleau walked into the Citadelles locker room for the first time and was taken aback. While she'd been in a SMJHL locker room before while in Nevada, knowing that this time she was one of the rookies who would be here for the long haul felt different. The room was lively and animated, with players working on their equipment and chatting. The other rookies, Faker, Ace, Bouchard and Pukkala, were all there too, getting used to the environment. The team was welcoming and offered rookies the chance to bond with a game night, which was well-received by all. There was a lot of hype too, as Sophie's hot start in Nevada got her some excited chatter that had evidently carried over to the Citadelles team. Sophie felt at ease here - even though she would have a lot of eyes and pressure on her as the team's first-round rookie, she knew that she would have teammates there to have her back through it all.

When Ricky Koivu first entered the Anchorage Armada locker and got to meet his brand new teammates ahead of a first practice, it was a very welcoming environment. Of course, his brother Paul Koivu was already one of the leaders of the team and most vocal player in the dressing room, so it was easy for Ricky to get settled in. He got to meet his fellow rookie boats Leon Lokitonov, Sam McMuffin, Luka Magic and Chase Yardley Jr. who were all excited to join the squad too. To welcome the rookies, they started off having a 5 on 5 match between the rookies and 5 vets of the team (Paul Koivu, Spack Jarrow, Lord Zomp, Red Kirkby and Richard Dickbutt McFudderdudder II). It was actually a surprisingly close game, with the rookies being able to keep up with the pace of the game the vets played at, but ultimately the scrimmage finished 5-4 in favour of the vets. It was a fun first day that made Koivu excited for the days ahead as a Boat. (177 words)

Carolina is a great time. So good that I hardly had time to sober up, (thanks, draft party), before my new teammates showered me with Gin and Ocean Spray Cran-Grape juice. I know, its weird, but I am learning that the Kraken pride themselves on being weird. The locker room was very welcoming, as I imagine all SMHL locker rooms are. I wasn’t happy to be initially offered a rookie deal in bitcoin and NFTs, but that’s @sve7en trying to pull a fast one. Sve7en is an extremely supportive general manager, but sometimes, too cheap for his own good. He got a bargain with me in the 3rd round. I was willing to sign for 6th round money, but only if he agreed to give me rides to the area every day. Gas is expensive. Regardless, the Carolina Kraken know how to welcome new guys. I bet Anchorage didn’t toast their rookie players to a solid 6 jumping out of a cake and dancing for silver dollars.
Geaux Kraken!

I was super excited to get into the locker room with my new teammates, as I had met some of them previously in our rookie tournament. As the highest pick by the organization, I felt a little apprehensive but was welcomed immediately. The locker room has been a phenomenal experience.
While nothing was ultimately planned, we did end up throwing a party and having a great time. We even had some great times co-watching an alternate reality hockey league game from the sim, NHL. If you haven't heard of it, it is really cool. They make players and sim their seasons with made-up teams. I had personally never really given it a shot, but the locker room was bumping when it was on, bets, dares, everything was fair game. As for the actual room itself, it is gorgeous. The blue and green are such a great combination and seeing my name emblazoned on the jersey with my number 11 under it was a sight that I'll remember forever.

I left the bar the night I just got drafted. I wanted to go back to the hotel room so I can catch the team bus to St.Louis. At the hotel room door step, I saw a mysterious package. I was too drunk to open it, so I just took out my hotel room key card and started opening the door. After 5 drunken attempts later, I opened the door, kicked the package under the bed, and got my drunk ass to sleep. I woke up with a hangover that morning. I had no gatorade or bottled water in my fridge. So I put my head under the sink, and started to drink from it. Before I went to get breakfast, I opened up the package I got. It was the Scarecrows home, away, and alternate jerseys all in one package. It had my name and jersey number in the back, and it fits me. "I'm now closer to living the dream." I told myself before going to stuff myself in pancakes. As I ate, I started thinking about the girl I met at the bar. Sadly, I probably won't see her again. But, that's the sad love life of me. Haven't dated anyone since 7th grade.
After breakfast, I waited for the team bus. As I waited, I put on my earbuds and started listening to J.Cole's album "offseason". Really gets me in the mood to skate around and shoot pucks. The rest of the draftees arrived and I was pretty much the quiet one, as everyone else socialize. I've always been an introvert. After a few stops to the bathroom and gas later, we arrived at St.Louis, Missouri. The lockerrooms and practice facilities had signs that said "WELCOME DRAFTEES!" or "WELCOME TO ST.LOUIS, HOME OF OUR SCARECROWS!" I was excited. We had an orientation with the coaches @frithjofr and @Urq660 and I finally got to meet GMs @TheSparkyDee and @jay2233 in person. My teammates seem like super cool guys. We even ate lunch and hung out at the bowling alley after the orientation was done.

After getting drafted by the St. Louis Scarecrows at the end of the third round with pick 42, I was excited to meet the team. It was an exhilarating and happy feeling to see how the team reacted to me as soon as I entered the team's locker room. I was first greeted by the coach of the team and by my teammates. They made me feel like I was indeed at home and that I belonged with the team, and they were just so supportive and welcoming that it made me feel like I was at home. I also like how they treated all the draft picks the same as they treated me, and they didn’t show any favoritism towards any of us despite what pick we got drafted at, which is nice to see. It feels nice knowing that we have six other talented rookies that are determined to turn St. Louis into a contender this season.

I walk into the locker room. The swinging salon doors tell me that I am not in the big city. Tumbleweed blows across the empty floor. Where is everybody? Music starts to play, it sounds like a western showdown. The locker room bartender throws me a puck, “It’s beat up, but we rather the puck than the players.” Creepy music begins. ALARM CLOCK. I wake up, I have 15 minutes to get to the locker room on my first day on the team. Great way to begin. I race to the arena knowing I am going to be late. You think a big guy from Ireland would be above reproach but no, I’m a sensitive guy. I walk into the area and see that some of the guys are already hitting the ice. Coach blows a whistle as I try to sneak into the dressing room. “Well look who the cat dragged in? Get on the ice Seamus!”. I start to head to the locker room to change as quickly as possible until I hear another whistle. “I meant now Seamus, this is the start of your professional career.” I drop my bags and head to the ice. As I approach the coach, the rest of the team stops skating to look at me. I walk with my head held high. “That’s enough Seamus, I got your mettle now. At least you’re coachable. Go get your gear on!” I turn around with some relief, as I head to my designated spot I see a little package of cookies with a note that says “Coach’s bark is worse than their bite” Signed by the whole team. I guess I can play here.
