When thinking of who to prank on another team, my mind immediately goes out to former teammate Ekaterina Valieva. While I would not consider Valieva a rival, the player relationship the two forwards had while playing in the SMJHL for the Kelowna Knights was a good one. Now that the two players are playing on opposing teams in the same conference, there is room for a bit more banter and playful fun in the moments where the former teammates run into each other. This could be as simple as playing small pranks in the opposing team's locker room or meeting up in the tunnels of the stadium before or after a game and having a good laugh. One of the best pranks ever pulled occurred when Valieva made a birthday cake for Lutz last season. This made the Buffalo forward very happy and excited to receive a good present and tasty treat from a former teammate. However, to the Buffalo forward's surprise, the icing on the cake was actually made entirely out of toothpaste, leaving an unexpected, undesirable "present." This initially irritated the forward, but he soon laughed about it and quickly returned the favor the next time the two faced each other that season.
My presence as a player on the ice with my alien team brings a new dynamic to the game. The knowledge that I, as a coach, am actively participating instills a sense of unity and determination among the team members. It demonstrates my commitment to their progress and shared goals, forging a deeper bond between us. In this friendly match against robots, I choose to be a player-coach, straddling the roles to ensure a cohesive strategy while contributing on the ice. My firsthand involvement boosts team morale and decision-making, as I'm able to offer real-time guidance during gameplay. This approach maximizes our chances against the robotic opponents. As I lace up my skates, an alien teammate takes on the bench duties, allowing me to maintain a physical presence and communicate strategy during shifts. Trusting my teammates' capabilities, I empower them to take ownership of the game, while I orchestrate plays from within the action. This unique arrangement emphasizes collaboration, adaptability, and unity among us. As we face the robotic opponents, my dual role illustrates that coaching isn't just words on a whiteboard; it's a commitment to lead by example, fostering an environment of trust and camaraderie that propels us to victory while respecting the unusual circumstances presented by the hyperintelligent mice.

While it would be incredibly funny to the entire team, after a talk with the team lawyer burning down the Maine stadium would be incredibly illegal and dangerous, so it was back to the drawing board for the team. After hours of planning and discussing with the gang, the idea comes in from Burger King. A quiet individual who’s been hanging in the press box, he’s had time to plot. His strategy is gross but fun. Part one is taking a handful of whoppers from his personal stash and leave them in various air conditioning ducts throughout the stadium. Nothing would happen at first, save for a vague smell of beef throughout the establishment. As the burgers start to rot, then the pure rotten stench of old mayo and decaying lettuce will fill the stadium, rendering it incredibly stinky and annoying to stay in. The second part becomes apparent once they find the burgers. Attached to each burger is a note that says “Love, Great Falls” thus removing all blame from Regina.
Tonight, on another episode of Sydney Shaw Pranks, Sydney has planned her biggest prank yet! This week Sydney has enlisted the help of her teammates, and I mean the whole team. All hands on deck for the biggest prank of the century. Who will the lucky, unknowing, contestants this week be? Drum roll please.... The Yukon Malamutes will be attacking, i mean pranking, the Saint Louis Scarecrows! First step is breaking in, i mean sneaking into, the locker room. Once there, we will steal all the gloves and throw them in the freezers in the kitchens. Only after filling them with water so they freeze hard as a rock. Do not worry we will leave notes with hints on where they can find their gloves. This will happen on a practice day, so do not worry this will not be before a game, we are not mean, just pranksters... What else will be on Tonights episode? Keep watching, we will be right back after a word from our sponsors.
The team has been tasked with pranking our biggest rival. We will do it when they are in town for a game. We will commandeer team busses and go to pick them up. They will not be expecting people from our team to be the bus drivers. Once the are on board we will drive them to a seemingly abandoned warehouse. They will start to get a little worried at this point, sweating it when they realize they are not heading into the arena. Instead, we will have an obstacle course set up. They must go through the obstacle course to get on the actual team busses that will take them to the game. Why will the be motivated to go through the obstacle course? We will promise them the opportunity for them to select our starting line up. Of course that seems like a sweet deal for them, but really we will get good content from them by filming and uploading the shenanigans to chirper.
In the final chapter of the ongoing, illustrious, and nefarious prank war that began between Roderic Banes and the mascot of the Montreal Patriotes, and escalated dramatically from there until it now threatens to engulf the entire Eastern conference of the Simulation Hockey League in death and fire. Perhaps it is not quite as dire as a Targaryen invasion, but here we are. In the final chapter, Roderic Banes has set his sights on Montreals long time enemy: the Buffalo Stampede. The rivalry has been several years building, including some vicious playoff matchup series between the two hockey clubs, and this next prank is sure to live in infamy. Roderic Banes, along with an elite team of Montreal's veteran players, will rent an SUV and roadtrip down to Buffalo to avoid detection by the authorities (he assures me this is standard covert ops procedure, don't worry about it) and under the cover of nightfall vandalize the Buffalo arena so that the logo on the home dressing room floor reads:
"Buffa-no Stupid"
Legendary.
Please don't make me invent more pranks my brain is cramping
Now, you and your team all need to get together to prank the daylights out of your biggest rival. What do you do? Who do you do it to? Who specifically do you target and why?
Because falcons soar so high above stinky scarecrows and are not in fact crows the opportunity for shenanigans abounds. We are not scared of any retribution and as such our prank will go right for the head honchos of the St Louis Scarecrows. To that end we won't be pranking any one person on the team or in the organization. Instead we are going to get everyone, including their fans, with a grand prank over the entire arena. For the next home game the 'crows play we are going to remotely control their jumbotron and in-arena entertainment. The Detroit players will be in attendance and reporting what is happening during the game. Initially there will not be a noticeable difference on the screens. Maybe a type or two in a few players' names, but nothing crazy. By the end of the game however we will have slowly transitioned bit by bit into a skit show put on by Detroit's skaters poking fun at St Louis leadership.
The train of pranks continues in Minnesota. Meta Knight looks forward to the next time New Orleans comes into town, and makes contact with their usual hotel establishment (who are of course huge Minny Monarch fans to the extreme, of course, hockey state baby). On the day of their arrival, once again Meta Knight and burger king will combine their forces to fill every single hotel bed with whoppers. Similar to the prank thrown on the coach last time, this will be another viral hit for sure. And best of all the new orleans hotel rooms will smell like burgers for the whole time they are in town... not sure if that helps them prep for the game or not, but surely it can't be bad being gifted many many burgers to snack on right? Minnesota needs the wins having stumbled in the season, so anything goes at this point really? Might as well throw some burgers in the visiting locker room while we are at it, just hidden everywhere on the morning of the game so they find them everywhere when doing their pre game skate and routines. Throw them off with burgs.
Defenseman Tommi Koivu of the Hamilton Steelhawks leaned in with a conspiratorial grin as he gathered his teammates in the locker room. The tension in the air was palpable, the excitement for their upcoming prank on the Buffalo Stampede almost electric. The plan was audacious but well-calculated. Tommi, a mastermind of mischief, had devised a plan that would leave their rivals in stitches. The team had acquired a lifelike buffalo costume, complete with a Stampede jersey. One of the players would don the disguise and invade the Stampede's practice session. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the rink, the Hamilton Steelhawks put their plan into action. The disguised player, snorting and pawing at the ice like a real buffalo, made his grand entrance. The Stampede players initially froze, perplexed by the surreal sight. Then, as realization dawned, laughter erupted like a tidal wave. The disguised buffalo danced around, mimicking exaggerated hockey moves, eliciting cheers and applause from both teams. Tommi watched from the sidelines, a satisfied smirk on his face. The prank had achieved its purpose — it had dissolved the tense rivalry even if for a moment, reminding everyone that hockey was a game meant to be enjoyed. Afterward, both teams shared stories and laughter, their camaraderie strengthened by the shared experience.
