Second Prompt: Lias has been spending his summers the same way for as long as he can remember, or at least part of them. He thinks it's important to stay in shape, obviously, so some of the summer is spent staying in good condition, usually either working with Gunnar back in Sweden, or at Cassius Darrow's camps elsewhere. But it's important to also take advantage of that time and make sure to spend time with his family, and he does that too, usually spending a few weeks at home in Visby working shifts in his moms' sandwich shop there. It's maybe a little weird for a pro hockey player who makes millions of dollars to be working restaurant shifts, but he genuinely loves it, and loves to be able to help his mothers out with their own passion project, which the sandwich shop has always been. And he makes sure to spend some time with his little sister, too, because he doesn't get to see them all a lot during the year and it's too easy to lose touch with the people you love.

At this point between all of the drugs and enhancers, who can really say what is and isn't a dream. What is this reality that we think we are in. Sometimes Nathanial finds himself thinking that he might just be a small cog in some huge simulation that the things he does and actions that he takes on a micro level don't really matter. With that said, he's had much stranger dreams so this one didn't stand out much which also lead to him not paying much attention until the final sexy ghost tied it all together. He's lost his want to have fun. Just playing a game, this has turned into a business. Watch your nutrition, follow the guides for off day workout and offseason work, don't drink or smoke. Do as many endorsements as you can, even if you have no idea what the product is.
Nathaniel wants to get back to his name meaning something. He's good because he has fun. If he recommends a product, it's not because they are paying him (ideally they are), but because he uses it and trusts it.

Off season is always controversial. What should a pro player do when they are paid millions by a team to be there when the season starts up. But at the same time, they are humans who need to live their lives. But for my players off season, he lives it up with the family, they love sight-seeing and traveling, seeing the world and learning how the rest of the world works. From sailing the seas on the most luxury's cruises to flying all over. But as the season approach's a month or so before, he hit the gym and gets some time on ice, resharpening his skills and relearning the ice. During that time, he'll call up his teammates and some others around the league to help train and help with the competitiveness. It helps the league when ever one gets better. The bonding that'll happen during that time, then it is one more nice week with the family before he goes of to 100% focus on hockey, and win championship

"You've forgotten the most important lesson I've taught you," said the ghostly visage of Coach Mercer. Jarrod Lakemore's mite-hockey coach had been excoriating for some time. "You score a few goals and suddenly you are only interested in playing on one side of the rink." It was the same criticism he had received as a youth playing back in England. As one of the most talented young hockey players in a not very hockey-heavy area, he found it easy to skate around the stiff, slow moving defenders and put up gaudy goal totals. But has lackadaisical defensive effort constantly drew the ire of his coach, who constantly reiterated that Lakemore would be benched for his defensive efforts in a more competitive climate. Coach Mercer was one of the few experienced English hockey coaches; most of his youth hockey coaches were volunteer parents who tried to coach hockey like it was football. But Mercer transformed Lakemore into a complete player, one who was always hard working and responsible defensively, regardless of his offensive output.

Jarrod woke up in his bed, the moonlight barely illuminated outside his window. It was just a dream, but the fact is he had been thinking about his youth coach a lot recently. He had been given a larger offensive role for Buffalo this past season, and he had led the league in goals after putting up 63 in 66 games. But had his defensive game suffered as a consequence? There were times last season where he did shift it down a gear on the defensive end, or left his defensive responsibility early to try to get a breakaway. It was things he would have never done earlier in his career, but maybe the media attention and the stat chasing was starting to get to him? (304 words)

One ghost, especially of someone recently deceased, is probably not actually a ghost. So, therefore, Celeste just brushed the entire experience of seeing Coach Saucier off as a weird stress dream brought on by their lackluster sophomore season and second World Juniors experience. What else are they meant to take away from their dead coach coming to them and telling them they've forgotten the right way to play? They know that! They've been beating themself up about it for an entire season. So, clearly, this is just something their own brain concocted up as a way of trying to cope with the pressure that they're putting on themself.

Despite that, though, they're not totally convinced it was a dream. Nothing about the experience has a concrete indication that it was a dream. And the warning about more ghosts appearing throughout the season is definitely something of concern for them. They're going to keep all that to themself for now, though. Nobody wants to hear a stressed hockey player ramble about ghosts that might not be real.

Option 2

Manning follows a pretty relaxed training regimen in the offseason. After a season of hard work in the SHL and travelling North America, he chills out in Baltimore for a bit. He loves visiting new places so wandering around is something he can do for a long time. However, the resting period doesn't last for along as he gets back on the grind shortly. He goes to the gym everyday to ensure his conditioning and strength is up to par, while also hitting the ice when he can. Manning has also gotten into running recently and likes to go on long ones in the local park. Otherwise, his hobbies include golfing and building computers. They are great for him to take a break from the usual, and are something non-hockey related. When training camp nears, he gets on a routine of intense exercise so he can hit the ground running for a new season.

Option 1

It's the off-season, and Alexi Piastri has been surfing up and down the west coast since the Monarchs early playoff exit in S74. Piastri has signed with the Los Angeles Panthers so these surf trips are going to be a lot easier to make happen now. Anyways, he's on the central Oregon coast at an air bnb, he's read in the reviews that a guest recently elected not to stay a second night after experiencing weird vibes, particularly when stuff started falling off the shelves and the table. This place is close to a couple of pretty great secret surf spots though that really kick up when the winter swells hit. So Alexi decided to book it for a couple of nights. Night one, after about 7 hours if a great sesh with only a few other people out, bam out of nowhere, its the ghost of his ex coach, Australian legend Brody Shaeffer. Brody gives him shit for becoming a playmaker now and not scoring as many goals. 66 assists??? What the hell happened to the guy who set the SMJHL record with 60 goals?? Good times.

In the offseason, a hockey player like Billy Herrington thrives on a balanced lifestyle that prioritizes both relaxation and training for the upcoming season. For Billy, incorporating meditation into his routine is essential for maintaining mental clarity and managing stress during the offseason. A successful offseason regimen involves a mix of physical activity, recovery, and leisure time. While it's tempting to spend the entire offseason lounging in the Caribbean, a more effective approach is to allocate time for both recreation and training. Billy typically starts his offseason with a period of rest and relaxation, allowing his body and mind to recuperate from the rigors of the previous season. As the offseason progresses, Billy gradually ramps up his training regimen, focusing on strength and conditioning to prepare for the demands of the upcoming season. This includes regular gym sessions, on-ice drills, and skill development exercises tailored to his specific needs as a hockey player. Throughout the offseason, Billy maintains a healthy diet and prioritizes quality sleep to support his training efforts and overall well-being. By striking a balance between recreation and relaxation, and structured training, Billy ensures that he enters the next season feeling rejuvenated, mentally sharp, and physically prepared to excel on the ice.

Option 2:

Written Task: What kind of lifestyle should a hockey player live in the offseason? How can you best strike a balance between recreation and relaxation, and training for the next season? Should you simply spent the first half in the Caribbean and the second half in the gym, or is there some other training regimen you follow? Feel free to tell me what your player happens to do, or to showcase your own expertise in real-world athletic training!

Furious Chicken read some of the questions he got asked by a magazine looking to tell more off the off-season behavior of the different hockey players in the SHL and SJHML. Some lovely examples were made but obviously Furious Chicken has a different off-season training routine. After being traded last season Chicken quickly noticed the big difference between the 3rd line minutes at the Edmonton Blizzards, and the 2nd line minutes at the Buffalo Stampede. Deciding he should spend quite a bit of time this off-season to make sure he was fit for next season where he would hopefully be making 2nd line minutes once again. But of course another important part of the off-season is the relaxation part. Chicken started the off-season with a call-up to the IIHF, following that up with a nice vacation, and that was followed up by training for the upcoming season. Gotta make sure to stay fit enough for the 2nd season in SHL, and first full season for the Buffalo Stampede.

Quote:Written Task: One cold and lonely Christmas-break night, your player is visited by the ghost of their mite-hockey coach (who passed away last year in an unfortunate molasses sandwich accident at the age of 96). He warns your player that they have forgotten the right way to play, and lost their faith in the heart of the puck. You will be visited by three spirits over the course of the coming season, who will endeavor to help you get your head back on straight. What is your player's reaction to this apparition? Or was it just a dream?

The first response Spack Jarrow has at the apparitions and the three ghosts is that they are late, Christmas was several months ago now. Once the initial shock of the delayed ghosting has worn off, Jarrow would immediately grab the closest object he could find to use as a weapon. With it being in the living room, the remote control would be the item at hand so that would likely go sailing through the haunted figure and smashing into the television.

Ignoring the lack of contact, Jarrow would then dash for the closest firearm. With the crazed fans, he has armed himself after several bizarre incidents. Once located, the wall would be peppered with shots as the weapon is fired until emptied. With the situation now a complete loss, Jarrow would then move onto 'acceptance' and begin drinking.

Needless to say, the cops would likely have been involved one way or another. Not sure Jarrow'd fully understand the message being sent though. Just angered over having to buy a new television.
