Written Option 2: Offseason is almost over and team training camp just over the corner. How does your player prepare during these last weeks before team is put back together. Is it time for rest to so you can endure the long season to come, do they ramp up their gym practises or maybe do some special technical training to further improve their skills to make the next step during their career or keep fighting the inevitable aging? How do they spend their last few weeks before team training camp?
In previous seasons Oskar would likely be found in the gym or on the ice practicing during these final few weeks leading in to training camp to get an edge on the competition, but this year is different. Coming off his first year as a Challenge Cup champion Oskar played more hockey than every before in a single season so rather than weight train or power skate he's decided to use this extra time to rest his body and instead focus on the mental aspect of the game. Last season was his best yet as a member of the San Francisco Pride. He collected over 50 goals and 115 points, both career highs. One area he was not successful in however was his puck possession, or more specifically the high volume of turnovers compared to giveaways. This offseason Oskar has taken to mental exercises to "slow" his mind in hopes of slowing down the game around him. In doing so he can better anticipate his opponent and hopefully lead to fewer giveaways (and more takeways). Oskar was a dominant force on the offensive end of the ice, but this year he's looking to prove he can do so on both ends of the ice.
Quote:Written Option 1: Your player has been enjoying their well deserved rest until they get the call from their general manager that they need to do some marketing or take part in meet and greet, something not related to hockey. But it would be just so nice to keep golfing and drinking mojitos or whatever they like. If your player doesn’t want to go, how they convince their general manager that what they are doing is too important to be interrupted or they cannot attend the event because of some factors out of their control? Or are they always ready to take part in these events and be the face of the franchise, even if their teammates need to skip it because they apparently just flew to Australia to meet their cousin and their passport was stolen by Kangaroos. What does your player do and how does it go?
My player is enjoying his offseason so much, away from hockey and training, that he decides to create a copy of himself. He has two options: the biology route, where he clones himself, or the technological route, where he works with specialists to create a spitting image robot that can do the tough things he doesn't want to do while he's off enjoying some well deserved leisure time.
Utilizing the minds of South Korea’s most genius technicians and robotics experts, of which there are many who are capable enough to do what he wants, Jae-ik creates a copy of himself made entirely of circuitry, silicon, and stainless steel. He programs, with the help of the aforementioned technicians of course, the robot to speak like him, walk like him, skate like him, even breathe like him.
At some point, he realizes the robot is too close to him for comfort, so he decommissions it, after a long tense movie-like battle. In the end, Jae-ik returns home for training because it’s better to cut your vacation short early than to have some robot running around pretending to be you.
Prompt 1: It's less a question of whether Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz is willing to be the face of the Panthers and more a question of whether that's a good idea. Even if guys like Derek Martin and Adam Prpich disappear into the Australian outback, the front office would probably rather see anyone other than Grzegorz leading the PR charge. He'll volunteer for sure, but he'll usually be passed over for teammates less likely to do unsolicited frontflips in the middle of a conversation or start trying to bribe California state officials to let him keep an elephant in Riverside. While Grzegorz's eccentricity certainly gets him a fanclub, he's not the guy the front office really wants as the face of the team. There's no danger of him dropping a slur or otherwise causing a genuine PR crisis, but "haha weird goalie" only excuses so many public bribery attempts. One day he'll understand that only billionaires get away with bribery in the west, but he hasn't quite gotten there yet. (166 words)
Marcel Beck has been around the block over 15 times now. In the early years, hard work, training, cardio, and all the accoutrements were on full display. A few years ago, he started to enjoy his time as he realized he needs to have fun and enjoy his time while at the peak of his game. Today, he has the same TPE level as when he entered the league as a rookie. This deep into regression, he is in full kickback mode and living the good life while he still has a paycheck. Despite (amazingly) still being a top 4 D, he and his mates are getting very old. Probably not only for Beck, but also for the core 4, it truly is a "call me when the season starts" situation. They know what they are doing. You can find them on the golf course or in the bowling alley when you need them.

It was a misty morning in Norway with Gwendolyn painting the Storsæterfossen waterfall. She was enraptured with the natural rocky beauty across Norway's territory that France only echoed with the Pyrenees and Alps. With Gwen's surprise, she'd receive a call from her nearly dead phone. How did reception reach her in these remote reaches? Either way, she'd answer the call to a five minute rundown by Jess with a simple agreement in response. Of course Gwen would sign and sell prints of her paintings out to fans of her and Nevada as a whole.
Spending several hours more wrapping up the Storsæterfossen piece, Gwen would pack up and hike back to town and catch a plane back to Las Vegas. She had completed a number of works over her break from murals to paintings to high detail digital arts! Gwen had compiled the files of digitally scanned pieces and tossed them for Jess to mass print for the event.
By the start of the event, everything moved so quickly. Gwen happily signed paintings live and set them out, selling originals for an LGBTQIA+ charity to help queer individuals in western states. Soon enough, Gwen would crash in a hotel room to recover from the day's festivities as the team prepared for the season once more.

Time is winding down on the off season and it is time to ratchet up the work outs. The IIHF tournament kept Tibuk in great shape and with the Swiss running do deep into the tournament he is feeling fresh with relatively little rust. Even during my time with the Swiss team I made sure to stay in constant contact with the Tampa Bay trainers so we could make sure Tibuk is all ready to go for this upcoming season. With the success the team has been seeing lately and with our core starting to round out to a stronger group it is going to be time to start making some big pushes if we are going to sit on the top with the big boys. However we are not in an easy division with teams like Baltimore, Atlanta and Philadelphia all right there you have to be aggressive to carve out your space in this league. But this season is shaping up to be a key one for the this up and coming Tampa Bey crew.

OPTION 1:
So the owner's, nephew's, brother in laws, cousin's, daughter's birthday is coming up. The relationship line is so thin the request for their favourite player to show up for this shouldn't matter. Yet here we are and I get a call from Caleb telling me that I need to go.
I plead my case, it is the offseason, my time, in my contract it says no to personal gatherings...ect. Caleb gives a heavy sigh, "you know kid, if it were up to me I wouldn't be bothering you, but the guy who signs the paychecks has a favor he needs to pay back and this is that favor."
I am disappointed and disheartened, how could they just whore me out to appease another.
"Wait, who does he owe the favor too and why?" I ask.
I am told the cousin's father once helped our owner start up his main business, it helped drive his success and got him to where he is at now. That's who is calling in the favor for the granddaughter.
My wheels begin to turn and I know what to do. Begin Operation get out of a child's annoying birthday party by making me a dude that looks like a lady and sleeping with a rich old guy and blackmailing him to ensure I don't have to go, by getting done up with makeup, dress and a wig, meeting the old fossil in a bar, getting him drunk and taking him home, take pictures of the two of us doing the nasty and hold him ransom... well that pretty much explained how I avoided a 1 hour children's party.

My player, Leonard Wood, is in the midst of the most important off season of his career. It's the off season before I turn professional and play for the Philadelphia Forge. I am filled with feelings of being anxious and excited to be a professional hockey player. As a result, I have been putting in extra work in the weight room. I have also been bulking up a bit so I can hold my own in the big league. I have been training with Marek Carda, who is from my draft class. Carda already has a season under his belt from going up to the SHL early. He's showing me the ropes and what to be aware of in the SHL, where the pace and physicality is much different than the junior league. Also, I have been making an effort to relax a bit so I'm not mentally and physically drained before I even begin the season. I've been out on the lake throwin' back beers and grillin' brats with friends & family at my parent's cottage in northern Wisconsin.

As the offseason winds down and team training camp approaches, Tom Pedersen, left wing for the Calgary Dragons, knows the importance of making every moment count. With just a few weeks left before the team get together again, he carefully balances his preparation to ensure he’s ready for the grueling season ahead.
First, Tom takes a few days to rest and recharge. This brief period of relaxation is crucial for mental and physical rejuvenation. That IIHF tournament was dreadful. Up yours Canada. Tom wants to spend time with family, enjoy some leisurely activities, and even squeeze in a short trip to the countryside to finally unwind.
After recharging, Tom will ramp up his gym sessions. Focusing on strength and conditioning, he ensures his body is in peak physical shape. He incorporates a mix of cardio, weight training, and plyometrics to enhance his stamina and power. This varied routine helps him maintain his edge and combat the inevitable effects of aging. Doing PT helps very much.
In addition to general fitness, Tom dedicates time to technical training. He spends hours on the ice, working on his stickhandling, shooting accuracy, and agility. He also reviews game footage to identify areas for improvement and fine-tune his tactics and laugh at Edmonton.
Tom’s last weeks before camp are a blend of rest, rigorous training, and strategic skill development. By the time the Dragons come together for training camp, Tom Pedersen is not only physically ready but mentally prepared to make the next step in his career, determined to contribute significantly to his team’s success.

As the first season in the SMJHL for AT-AT Wøllker has come to its conclusion, there is some time to pause and reflect on how it all unfolded and at the same time, look to the new season and prepare for what is to come.
From the time AT-AT first declared for the SMJHL Draft right through to the SHL Draft and WJC, it was a season full of big events. The SMJHL Draft preparation had a lot of excitement around it, fueled by a combination of a Draft with many high-end prospects available and the introduction of 2 new expansion teams. He was touted as a probable high pick, which turned out to be true as the Great Falls Grizzlies selected him 3rd overall. It wasn't long after that he was on a flight to Montana and skating with a new team. AT-AT's first season on the ice went very well, the coaches didn't put too much pressure on him but he was given decent minutes and opportunities. He played as expected, a dominant force defensively contributing to the Grizzlies' stellar defensive play with his shot blocking and physicality. The Grizzlies did better than expected and even won a playoff round but couldn't find a way to shut down Newfoundland, ending the season on a slightly disappointing note. But there wasn't much time to get down as the preparations for the Draft were underway and also AT-AT joined the powerhouse Team Norden in the WJC. AT-AT was part of the gold medal winning team, getting his international career off to a rousing start! In the SHL Draft, he was honored to be selected at 4th Overall by the Seattle Argonauts, joining a deep prospect pool of the rebuilding team.
After the festivities of the season finally wound down, AT-AT took a brief trip from Sweden, the host host of the WJC, to visit his home country of Iceland and participate in putting down a Rebel outpost. He then returned to Montana to prepare for the new season. It is a different feeling to not be a rookie any more, and hopefully the new crop of draftees will have the same excitement of their first season. For, AT-AT he has been using his time at training camp and with the coaches to work on improving his offense. The team will need a bigger contribution from him on that end so he worked a lot on his puck control and breakout passes. It won't be long until the puck drops on the new season and he will be focused on helping the Grizzlies be the best!
Volta’s offseason is like a big trip. In fact, at first, he did relax by exploring the nature. Since he’s really enjoying the exterior world, he did a lot of hiking to some beautiful landscapes to see the view or the sunsets as well. Next, he did relax close to the water. Sunbathing at the beach, went to do some Wakesurf, plays some spikeball and beach volleyball, or even do some Paddle Board, sports keep his body healthy. Then, he went to the gym. Recover all his muscles after the hard season and keep them stronger and healthy for the training camp to start. Also, he kept his cardio while bikingon a beautiful sunny day on the roads of San Diego. Even if he did a lot of things, Volta did some cool stuff outside the ice to keep his body and his mental in a good shape for the upcoming and exciting season.
