It is fun to talk with people from another country in the world because you learn so much!
You learn about food you don't know about or different ways to eat the same food.
Music is almost the same, it is just that people in Europe listen to music from their own country (so in their own language) a bit more than in North America. But it's fun to know when people go to popular band shows across the world.
The most fun is to talk about the difference between the countries and the things we do the same about all the subjects of life. We can talk about jobs, kids, school or wedding so that way we know what happens in the life of our teammates or people in the locker room of the team.

For my player, it's almost the same thing as me. People from all around the world have a different way of life, and you have to coexist with them and learn from that to be an open minded person.

Option 2

After Dag-Otto came to the USA he was quickly introduces to the local American football teams by his teammates and other friends he made in the organization. He'd heard a lot about it before leaving Sweden, and even watched a few games out of curiosity. But he never knew how much impact it had on the locals. Even if the city he was living in "only" had a college or high school team, the town was still crazy about them. Wearing the logo on almost every piece of clothing.

Not to say that's a bad thing. No, Dag-Otto was invited to try a new way of experiencing a sports event: The Tailgate. This is something he never actually heard of, but as it was described to him he felt excited to give it a go. And after that first time he happily joins his friends to all local tailgates, when he has time. Setting up in a massive parking lot with a hundred other vans and thousands of people is a surprisingly fun way of watching a game on a TV.

Code:
Written Option 1: So you got good advice from discord and decided to spent most of your TPE on aggression and fighting. Now your player wants to go and fight the star player on opposing team but you realize during the first period that they are tough as nails and wont be shaken by hard hits. On top of that they barely seem to understand English. Yet your player knows better than to take instigation penalty on top of fighting, so how do they make the star player on other team mad? Do they use sign language? Download a dualingo during the intermission? Hire a translator?

Looking at the team ratings page on the index it appears Oskar Scholz is tied for 2nd in both TPE applied to aggression and TPE applied to fighting so he's not stranger to this philosophy being spread on discord. He's no stranger to landing a crushing hit and has certainly taken his fair share of penalties including the odd instigator. If up against an opposing monster, especially one that is important to their teams ability to score, it's important to remember it's a battle of attrition. Short of catching them with a huge hit and damaging their ego, it's unlikely they'll drop the mitts in the 2nd period, let alone the 1st period. But if you just keep chipping away and finishing those hits you'll certainly get under their skin and may just invoke a fight in the 3rd. Even if they can't speak English well they'll certainly know how to read body language and I have no doubt the message will get across loud and clear.

Written Option 1
Oliver Cornwall is a pest, and he fills his role to a fantastic degree. When he read the scouting report, he decided that the best way to help his team was to draw the opposing captain off the ice for five minutes or more. He decided he would try to make it happen in the third period, building on cumulative tension from the entirety of the night. Oliver delivered little spears to the back of his legs every time they lined up next to each other on faceoffs, butt-ended his kidneys in post-whistle scrums, and gave one extra rabbit punch whenever someone got between them. All the while, Oliver kept his trademark grin stapled on, laughing at the opposition’s appeals to the refs and miming crying at them. That trademark grin and upwards nods at an opponent are enough to drive every hockey player mad, and although Oliver most assuredly ultimately lost the ensuing fight, it was worth it to get their best player off the ice for five minutes in the clutch.

I think that one of the best aspects of how diverse our teams can be here in the SHL, beyond the obvious of being exposed to different cultures in the locker room and on the ice, is the fact that it allows us to relate better to any fans that we may have from different countries. Our team, the San Francisco Pride, for example, has players from 10 different countries on our roster currently. This obviously gives us lots of opportunities for diverse fan bases beyond just where our players are from. By having all those voices in the locker room, it allows us to learn the appropriate and proper ways to discus, talk, and interact with our fans as a team and ensures that we don’t, inadvertently, create an issue and cause our fan base to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable as fans of the San Francisco Pride, a place that we try to make as welcoming and comforting as possible.

Grzegorz is the star that barely understands English, so fighting another star who also barely speaks English requires some innovative communication. Fortunately, obscene gestures are more or less universal, and angry shouting in Polish is some of the most terrifying sounds that can be produced by a human not named Kendrick Lamar. Being a goalie also makes this somewhat easier: goalies do not fight skaters, so his only option is a goalie fight, and there are only so many reasons for a goalie to shake off his gloves and skate to center ice during a line brawl. Accompany this with some good old fashioned gesticulation and Slavic screaming, and the opposing goalie will have a difficult time misunderstanding the situation. What happens thereafter is anyone's guess. The refs are typically lamers who don't let goalies fight, so it'll take enough of a line brawl to distract all four zebras at once for this to even be possible. Grzegorz has a healthy hooligan streak, so the opposing goalie better come ready to play.

Roquefort Cotswald is an expert instigator. It is said that he has the ability to incite a reaction out of any player, enemy team or his own. As a French national, his expertise of the foreign tongue gives him the keen ability to harass players of many francophone nations, unable to escape his clever insults and devilish tongue. His swift feet and agility allow Roquefort to follow the player around on the ice with no hope of retreat or respite. He brings with him to each game his most finely aged block of cheese. With said cheese he engages in what is effectively chemical warfare. if his words do not affect you - his stench surely will. In addition, as a stifling defender he has a distinct skillset to frustrate offenders both with his mind and body. His stick ever poking and prodding at the puck, shaking loose any attempts to handle or move down the ice. Truly an expert instigator, Roquefort is surely a headache for many who come across him.  Falcons

When you are a good player, you know how to make the others good players mad at you : you just have to play better than them. Hockey is a competitive sport, so it's normal to be angry at someone when they seem to play with you like you are a little kid and play a hard physical game against you when you have the puck. Even if you do not understand them when they speak, body language is a key component of communication so can totally understand if they are laughing at you or not. You don't really need a translator, but you can ask your teammates that speak that language (if you have one) to help you with it. They can teach you some words to say back when the player is chirping you so that way you can too play that "game".

Don't matter if they are shaken by hard hits or not, continue to hit them all night long and play dirty if you have too and you may get the fight you want.

Prompt 2

As the only Nigerian player in the entire SHL currently, M’Baku Olubori is no stranger to experiencing different cultures. To date, he’s lived in 4 different countries throughout his life (Nigeria, Switzerland, Canada, USA). While there is a well-documented friction between Africans and African Americans many times, Baku buys into none of that. He’s leaned heavily into new culture of his brothers and sisters in the diaspora (especially the music and food). Landing in Baltimore was really a great thing for that, as he’s been able to embrace and be embraced by the heavily African American population (approximately 58-60% Black) of Baltimore City. Rarely do we see professional hockey players embraced by the common man the way Baku has been in Baltimore, and he’s put his money where his mouth is (see S74 PT#2 for the Crunchy’s Chicken debacle). Beyond that, Baku has learned a lot about many cultures, most especially Swedish culture from his time in IIHF competition. At first he was skeptical of some of the things his teammates did that were unfamiliar, but over time he’s embraced his teammates love for their country, as they have also joined him in cheering on his countrymen in soccer (go go SSL champion and Tokyo star Momo Adamu!)
