Written option two:

When taking a penalty, the reaction can vary greatly depending on the situation. Sometimes, certain penalty calls are so unexpected that your response may be somewhat off-kilter, based on how the referee made the call. For example, when a player receives a penalty and then another player on the opposing team commits a similar offense but it goes uncalled, your natural reaction is to become more upset about your own penalty. However, some penalties occur in heated moments, such as during a fight, where you anticipate that your actions will result in a penalty being called. Personally, I try to remain calm, as arguing with the referee will never change their decision. In fact, the more you argue, the more likely they are to penalize you in the future. As for seeking revenge on the other player, it is not typically my style. In the heat of the moment, sometimes you are forced to make decisions that deviate from your usual playstyle.

Written Option 2: How does your player react to getting put into the penalty box? Do they have a fit of rage calling the call unfair? Do they focus on the next two minutes trying to think about what they’ll do when they get back into the game? Does their reaction change when the call is very obvious compared to when it’s a little more ambiguous whether or not the penalty was the right call? Do they plot their revenge on the player who drew the penalty?

As a German and the son of Luxembourger Oskar isn't exactly known for being a hot head on the ice. While he's certainly no stranger to using his large frame to impose his will and chuck the odd open ice hit, he's often able to keep his composure in the face of an infraction. He knows his style of play welcomes more frequent calls both for and against him and as such can often have a bit of a target painted on his back. If the call is bogus or unwarranted he'll definitely make it known with his body language, perhaps the odd eye roll and very obvious lip reading, but he's able to keep an even keel in the face of it all and not get additional penalizations on top of the original one. You definitely won't catch Oskar plotting his return to ice, but he definitely makes a mental note if someone on the opposing team might be a bit of diver and make sure he finishes his checks on those players.

Willow can be a bit of a wild card when it comes to going into the penalty box, but it depends entirely on why she’s going into the box in the first place. If she’s going in because she had a bad trip or cross check she’ll usually accept it and just make a mental note of “don’t do that again this game.” But if the call is weak or the ref just blatantly missed something, she will go ballistic. Subtly and tact are not the name of her game, her game is screaming and shouting in their face until they threaten to eject her until she finally goes in. Even then she will continue to shout from the box at the refs any time they skate by which has gotten her in trouble with hot mic situations when the refs are trying to announce her penalty. Willow is not well liked by a lot of refs in the league and its fairly easy to see why.

Will Tomlander would like to suggest a new rule to create more special teams time in the SHL. If you are caught spitting, blowing your nose or littering of any kind onto the ice you get a 2 minute penalty in which you must serve in the penalty box but you must also create a TikTok short as an anti littering public service announcement. This is meant to help lessen the frequency in which people litter all around the world as we need to ensure that the environment is protected more.

If you decide to do an anti littering short, video, Tweet, chirp or post without being asked to, you get one free pass for a minor penalty unless the referees decide your foul was too egregious to let go. Major penalties of course do not get a free pass, and the situation room can also impose a penalty if they deem that your offence does not qualify for the free pass.

Option 2

Jacob gets sent to the penalty box as he would say something in French. He would sit there watching his teammates play the power play. He would let his mind wonder on tasks he has to do the next day. He knows penalties are part of the game although he rather not cause them because the impact can have on his team. Just for fun the Frenchman would count to himself to see how long he would remain the box. However for one thing, Jacob isn’t a punk. His mother and brother always told him to stand up for himself and don’t be a pushover. Those lessons from home contributed to his penalty today. He looks up and see that his time is up from the box, He would take note of the number he stop at to record and might continue onward for the next round of penalties he gets.

When Billy Herrington gets put into the penalty box, his reaction is pretty interesting and tells a lot about his personality. Initially, if the call is obviously fair, Billy takes it in stride. He might shake his head a bit, maybe mutter something under his breath, but he knows the importance of staying composed. He uses those two minutes to refocus, mentally replaying the game to figure out what went wrong and planning how to make an impact once he's back on the ice. He’s a forward, so he’s always thinking ahead, strategizing his next move. However, if the penalty call is ambiguous or he feels it’s unfair, Billy’s reaction is a bit different. He’s not one to throw a fit of rage, but you can see the frustration in his eyes. He might have a few animated words for the referees, expressing his disagreement. He’s competitive and passionate about the game, so it’s hard for him to just sit back when he believes the call wasn’t right. While in the box, Billy doesn’t waste time plotting revenge. Instead, he channels his energy into positive thinking and visualization. He knows that getting too worked up over a penalty can mess with his performance. So, he focuses on how he can contribute to his team’s success once he’s back on the ice. He might also think about some of his favorite meditation techniques to keep his cool and maintain his concentration. Overall, Billy’s approach to penalties is a blend of frustration management and strategic planning. He understands that penalties are part of the game and tries to use the time in the box to better himself and stay ready for when he can jump back into the action. His ability to stay composed and focused, even in challenging situations, is what makes him such a reliable player for the Atlanta Inferno.

Louise St. Martin generally doesn't react to penalty box calls unless she thinks the other player went down easy or something. She's made a career of hacking and whacking on defense (for a non-goon she's had a surprising amount of PIMs which....oops. that was not my intention), so she understands she'll be taking some penalties. When in the box it's simply a manner of praying that her teammates can come through and kill it off. She has a lot of trust in her teammates and her goalies to get the job done and absolve her of her ice crimes.

Of course these days she's playing a non-insignificant amount of time on the penalty killing unit, so it stings a bit more when she's sent to the box. Since Toronto kinda likes to have her out there being the one killing the clock.

Prompt 2

Earlier in his career, M’Baku Olubori was known for his temper. He would complain and contest almost every penalty, which of course led to some double minors for arguing with officials. Over time, he’s matured and now picks his battles. When the penalty is obvious, he will laugh a little bit and head to the box to serve. Quietly, he watches and assesses the game in his little break, and is ready to jump in and create pressure on the other team once the 2 minutes are up. When things are a little more ambiguous, however, Baku’s theatricality is on full display. He doesn’t mind bringing the drama and calling the refs out (the home crowd LOVES it). Midway through last season, Aksel Fiske blatantly dove right in front of the refs passing Baku in a game between Baltimore and Manhattan, and the refs called Baku, whose back was turned and the stick was nowhere NEAR Fiske, for tripping. The in arena replay showed the refs were so far from right they spat on Elphaba’s shoes as she landed on her broom. After the game, the league office fined those refs for the egregiously wrong call they made, but also Baku for a truly legendary (albeit messy) post game interview he gave lambasting the officials.

While Rence is fierce and ferocious while celebrating on-ice achievements, he is incredibly level headed when it comes to dealing with referees. No call has ever been reversed due to whining and moaning about questionable calls so you just have to take a bad call like a bad bounce of the puck. It's part of the game and you just hope you can get the next advantageous call to go your way to even things out. The only time Rence gets even a little heated with referees is when a good goal is deemed disallowed, and in the absence of video review in the SHL, is taken off the board. It's hard enough to score on SHL goalies, and now you have to contend with near sighted refs that missed the puck narrowly crossing the line. Otherwise, it is an entirely fruitless endeavor to lose one's mind over officiating.

Through 138 games, Matviy Cajabi has collected 47 penalty minutes which is good for just over .3 per game. He's hardly a frequenter of the sin bin. On the occasions that he does find himself there, he uses that time to be productive. Rather than stew over something he can't undo, he puts his newfound spare time to good use.
With the advent of their new team-wide initiative, whenever a Maine Timber player enters the box, they work on crocheting a quilt. Every quilt the team makes will be auctioned off with the money going to charity.
With an estimated time of 60 hours to complete a quilt, and the Timber taking 474 minutes in penalties last season (7.9 hours), we should see their first quilt completed sometime around S84. Given their namesake, maybe it would have made more sense for them to have done wood whittling projects instead.....
Oh well. Get quiltin', lads!

Written Option 2

Boots does his best to avoid the penalty box but everyone is guilty for getting their stick tied up between another players skates or occasionally getting a little rough with an opponent if they've gotten in his face or his teammates. Boots will usually continue to yell at the opposing player on his way to the box but rarely at the ref. Once in the box Boots will grab a drink and sit back, take his helmet off and stick his gloves in it while waiting for play to start again. Then he'll usually begin in small talk with the attendant in the box.
"Can you believe that guy? What a joke."
"Yeah I messed up there. I try to keep my stick on the ice but man sometimes they just get right over it."
"What's up with this weather? Hopefully some sunshine soon. Any plans after the game?"
"Not often I end up on the East coast. What's some good places to eat around here?"

When there's about 30 seconds left to the penalty Boots will get his helmet and gloves back on and will usually stand and wait to burst out onto the ice to get either back in play or rush back to the bench if it's not his shift. Boots will usually get right into the play as he's a primary in the PK unit with Hodor!

Option 2

The reaction when my player is going into the box really depend if he deserve the penalty or not. Sometime you have to make a play that will give you a penalty, but you may have saved a goal for doing it. So when it's deserved, he have no problem with it and will go by himself in the penalty box, he don't need a referee to come with him. When it's a hockey play that can go both way (a penalty or not), sometimes to referee doesn't make the good call and this is the part that is frustrating.
My player is not a physical player nor looking for revenge when he's hit. It's part of the game and he knows when you have the puck it's certain people will try to hit him.
So far this season, Dionne never been to the penalty box so he's trying his best to not go there so he's helping his team by being on the ice.

Peyton · 06-12-2024, 09:25 AM

Option 2
Peyton Mcbride is a smart player. He doesn’t like being in the box but he ends up there every now and again. When he’s put in the box he isn’t a very happy guy he doesn’t let it get to the best of him instead he uses the time to reflect his game on what happened, what can he do better to help himself and his team to win the game. He does plot a revenge not only against the player who drew the penalty but against the entire other team as he plans to bring his A game the second he is out of the box. As an assistant captain and being a veteran on the Malamutes he wants to be a role model to the younger guys out and on the ice and one way he can do that is by staying cool and collected while inside the box even if the call was incorrect.

***JR95*** · 06-12-2024, 10:11 AM

Being in the penalty box isn't something Cormier is very used to in all honesty. Sure, he takes the odd penalty but he doesn't really play the type of game that leads to a lot of on ice infractions. He isn't overly physical, throwing wreckless checks that straddle the line between legal and otherwise, nor does he run his mouth in ways that could lead to him taking instigating penalties, abuse of the officials or similar. He is very disciplined with the use of his stick when checking too, but given that that would be his primary method to check an opponent, it's also the most likely way he'd end up in the penalty box. Almost all of his penalties are minor stick infractions that happen not because he tried to trip a player or high stick them, but rather because hockey is a very fast game and sometimes these types of things happen when the game is moving faster than your brain can process. So when Cormier does get penalized, he usually realizes he is at fault and quietly serves his 2 minutes.
