For opening day, the first thing San Francisco had to do was to debut their new rink and the design. A lot of hype had been generated over the SHL designing new rinks for each team in an effort to drive up viewership to start the season, and San Francisco was no outlier. They also had a new rink, featuring the Golden Gate bridge and local prominent organizations like the San Francisco Zoo. As part of the ceremony, there was a full out laser show to highlight the new golden and purple design that the rink featured.

Along with those, the Pride gave away various merchandise such as Leon Athanasios jerseys, beanies, pucks, shirts, and much other Leon merchandise as he was clearly the most significant addition for the team over the off-season from the Edmonton Blizzard. There was also a little bit of stuff featuring that Slavakov dude, no one know how to spell that though.

CREATIVE PROMPT

When the Baltimore Platoon made the mistake of handing the oversized aux cord to Slip McScruff, they paid for it with a night that no one could have predicted. Unless of course you have listened in on Slip McScruff's previous seminars on the joys of reducing your carbon footprint. He very literally took the owner's green light and shined it on many ways we can be nicer to our home planet while still having a good time. He wanted to really make an impact on the attendees to that opening game, so he put out the word to be in your seats 2 hours before puck drop and cooked up the best powerpoint slides he could think of.

He had images of birds covered in oil sliding in left and right to tie in team branding and printed out pamphlets for each seat asking people to adopt a displaced bird. You don't get to keep the bird, but you pay money for it to be cared for. Unfortunately, the pamphlets came out wrong the first time, so he had to place a second order and print a second batch.

When he gave his presentation, he wore big sasquatch feet to show his "carbon footprint". The crowd really seemed to get the subtext because they booed him off the ice as the obvious heel.

He tried to get Green Day to come play a set, but he had a silly little typo and booked Green Fray. Their punk covers of The Fray sounded so good, he didn't even realize he booked the wrong band.

"Never was a big fan of the National Anthem, American or Finland's," Boom Stick thinks, standing there, blankly staring at the image of the wavering American Flag. This girl doesn't have a particularly good voice, and I'm not having a fun time listening to it. "Wonder how I'll do this season. Hope it's good." He hums to himself, as the crowd stands up, beginning to do the point-at-the-flag during "The Brave" section. Boom Stick looks around, at the rest of his line, his coach, his girlfriend in the stands, and sends a little message to whatever deity could be listening: "Don't make me suck, you cunt. I'm gonna try my absolute best so I don't let down all the poor fuckers that are here to see me. Something about this year feels important. Don't dare touch it." After swearing for no particular reason, probably too loud considering that Dexter Harrison raised an eyebrow right next to him. Eventually the ice clears after the anthem, and he sits down on the bench, waiting for the shift as the game starts. A few minutes in, coach looks over and gives a thumbs up, calling in Boom Stick. As he heads up, he looks at a Knights player and begins to scream, incoherently at him. What a battlecry. "It felt good to get that energy out on someone, sorry, mate. Just gotta get ready." He heads up the slot and gets ready for another shot. Can't be that bad of a season, right? Right?

ok so for the opening ceremony for the home opener of the sixty sixth simulation hockey league season the atlanta inferno of the simulation hockey league were extremely very proud to present a ceremony that was really spectacular in so many ways that it really impressed every single person that was in attendance at the arena which is nick named the centre babip. now why is it called the centre babip when french is not really a language spoken in atlanta? well that is a good question that no one really has the answer to except for @micool132. now what exactly was this extremely impressive ceremony? well the atlanta inferno put on quite an amazing show where they actually flooded the ice with water before the game and turned the rink into an aquarium and brought in a lot of otters! some may even say that there were otters only and if there were any other animals they would get banned! phillipe @hotdog eko eel tried to sneak into the rink turned aquarium but agnes mcpipe stopped him because otherwise he would have been banned and that would not be good for our little eel friend!

Anton is definitely feeling nerves and excitement in the seconds before his first shift. He might thinking about specific people or moments or pets that inspired him to work hard during the off-season, or he may be focusing on the task at hand and trying to settle down so he can play his best. He may need to take a few deep breaths and center himself before the puck drops, while others may just be ready to go and embrace the excitement of the moment. Either way, Anton will need to be mentally focused and prepared to execute the team game plan in order to achieve success at the upcoming season. He is definitely excited to show everyone how good team Atlanta Inferno is nowadays and he is trying to help his team to get glory. He is also aiming for lead his team from the front and give example to other players.

The player is in the locker room during the off-season, but can't muster up any excitement for it. The season's been a difficult one and so many things have gone wrong. All the anticipation and adrenaline for a new season has been lost. But, this is the SHL, you can't just let it go. You need to hold onto that fire and keep playing.The player skates onto the ice to a chorus of cheers and boos alike, but they don't feel anything yet. They start warming up, let the tension wash away while they wait for the game to start. They know what they should feel, but it needs to come on its own time. When they finally get onto the ice and see their team on either side of them, the anticipation comes back like a wave crashing against their chest. Everyone wants to win so desperately that it stirs something inside them again.
The game starts off with both teams playing hard, going all

Manhattan is trying to bring in the fans in anticipation of seeing some good upcoming seasons, and they're stepping up the pre-game festivities. They've partnered with an upstate farm to bring in a mild-mannered bull named Jake, and have dyed him red with some animal-friendly stuff. After weeks of training, he's become familiar with the ice and can do a full five-minute routine with the team's logo on a flag, tied to his back. It's everything short of putting a bull on skates, which would be a complete disaster, but just sending it out there has been good so far, and barring any accidents the clean up isn't too bad. The time for mascots is ending and the time for live animals on teams is nigh! Hopefully, the bull will gain some more fans, and there's already plans to hold photo events before and after games to take pictures with Jake. Hopefully everything goes well, and they can nab some upstate fans as well.

The Atlanta Inferno are known for their extravagant opening nights. For their home opener, they usually have a pre-game show with celebrity guests, like Lil jon, a flyover by the United States Air Force, and a performance of the national anthem by a famous singer, like Outkast. This year, they are also partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant the wishes of five lucky children.

One of the make-a-wish children wished for ex-inferno player, Nathan Explosion, to come and perform a Dethklok show along with Toki Wartooth. They obliged, nothing is more brutal and metal than realising a make-a-wish. As usual, the fans in attendance are asked to sign a waiver forfeiting their lives and denying any possible fault on Dethklok if they were to die during the show. This time, the band performed Fansong, Birthday Deathday, Murmaider 1 and 2 and finished with "I tamper with the evidence at Odin's murder site" @Leppish really enjoyed the show from his Finnish countrymans. @goldenglutes and @hotdoge would have prefered rap music but they appreciated meeting with Nathan Explosion one more time.

Opening the season at home against the visiting Toronto North Stars, Ole Olson stood with his teammates as the last few words of the Star Spangled Banner rumbled through the stadium. The fans roared, the referees took their places, Olson and his teammates took the ice. Xavier Doom skated to the center of the circle, Ole took his position behind and to his left. "Stay out of the box, play a disciplined game, get pucks deep, get pucks in the net, and win the hockey game." It was what his hockey media relations expert kept telling the team, but Olson took it to heart. He started his career with a focus on defense and strength. He played a very physically defensive game, but as he spent his time in the SHL, he learned finesse. He started directing the forecheck, making key passes into the crease, focusing on a strong attacking position. Starting the season, Olson is hoping to make a big impact on both sides of the ice.

As the anthem singer belts, the only thing Brick hears are his own thoughts. Weeks and weeks of hard training have led to this day. Every day, Wall thought back to his previous seasons. 4 lackluster seasons in the minors, with only a 2nd place finish and a hard-fought WJC Gold to show for it. His rookie season in the SHL wasn't much better, with Wall's numbers being worse than the bar set in his call-ups the season prior. Not only that, fellow S62 classmate Rebecca Montagne had one of the best rookie seasons for a goalie ever, taking home Rookie of The Year, All-Team, and a top goalie nomination. Brick knew he could compete with anyone in the world. So what was missing? He was dedicated, he worked hard, yet he still came up short. The only answer? Wall needed to work harder. Become more dedicated. To get to that point where everyone will break and push past it. All that hard work this off-season has led to now. But the work isn't over. No, the work is just beginning.

The start of a new Simulation Hockey League season is a momentous and joyous occasion that everyone loves and looks forward to and the start of season sixty six is no different than the others. Pablo Salvatici, superstar forward playing for the Atlanta Inferno who play out of the Atlantic division in the Simulation Hockey League decided that he wanted to spice up the season opener for the Atlanta Inferno and did something crazy and wacky and insane and frankly dangerous that he really shouldn't have done. Because the team is named the Inferno, Pablo decided that he was going to create a real inferno to show off to the fans and lit a massive fire in the middle of the rink. Unfortunately for him not only did he melt the ice and force the game to be postponed he also accidentally set fire to the bleachers and forced the entire arena to be evacuated as it was engulfed in massive flames. The Atlanta Inferno have become the Savannah Inferno now for the foreseeable future as the rink is demolished and rebuilt and gm and owner @hotdog was really upset and Pablo got his pay cut so he can't afford training. This will be a very memorable moment for sure though.

The St. Louis Scarecrows wanted to include the players in their opening night for S66. They asked the team how they thought the home opener should look and feel. The idea they chose was Bavel Pure’s. His idea was to have a row of scarecrows outside the entirety of the arena and then to have a whole lot of birds stationed a bit away to make it seem like the scarecrows were doing their job very well and keeping all of the birds outside of the scarecrow perimeter. It was a great idea on paper, the scarecrows were all in St. Louis jerseys and looked great. All of the local bird wranglers Britt their multitudes of avian friends with them and it was a very impressive sight. but when the popcorn sales team took to the pavement, like they do at every game for the fans waiting to go inside, that’s when things went wrong. It is apparently very difficult to tell birds to stay and even those these were all very well trained birds, the temptation of delicious popcorn was too much to handle and the birds took over. No major injuries were reported, aside from Bavel’s damaged ego.

For whatever reason the wild idea that the Chicago Syndicate attempted to do with their massive fan base, was to announce that opening night tickets were free. Yup, no cost at all. Just first come first serve when it came to seats. However, there was one catch. You had to make it out of the escape rooms leading into the arena. In a wild and ridiculous affair, the entire stadium entrance was completely sealed by a maze of puzzles, allowing only for the brightest and most dedicated of fans to break through into the scene. The event would start in the afternoon, well before puck drop giving people more than ample time to solve the mysteries that stood in their way. For those who were quickest, there awaited events and prizes for them to enjoy until puck drop. When the game was about to start, the event would end, allowing those were still persevering to be allowed into the upper bowls. Those who didn't make it were in the fan square, still sharing their experiences about the event.

The New Orleans Specters kicked off their 21st season as only the spookiest team in the league can: by having a giant, massive haunted house outside of the arena. The Specters went all out for this event, hiring the best haunted house actors in the business. Construction started early in the summer to be ready for the start of the season. There are three options: a kids run through that’s not too scary for the little ones, a “normal” run through that terrorizes people at the same rate a regular haunted house would. And then there’s a “mega spooky” run through that fans have to sign a waiver for. While it’s part of the gimmick, it also protects the actors from the terrified fans. Fans for this event are also given a safe word of “ITS TOO SPOOKY” and they’ll be whisked away and taken out of the haunted house. All fans who make it through the haunted house will be given a 25% off coupon on their entire order in the Specters team store, and all are entered in a drawing to win an autographed Xavier Doom jersey!
