Prompt 2:

Going way back to the early aughts of getting drafted there are but a few names that supported Murdock.

The easiest person to point to is Chris Conner, the long-time GM of the Carolina Kraken. It isn't confidence raising to be sitting around through two rounds of the draft, but when you finally do get drafted there's a lot out there to continue to prove. Despite the all time low, Conner still took Murdock through all of the trials of growing as a player. It wasn't just about scoring but about playing an all around team game. In a fairly unprecedented strategy that was taught to Murdock by filling in on defence--getting the feel for playing heavy minutes and on how Carolina's end of the ice works. Imperative in growing the game.

Betzee Nickleback, who has really only spent 1 season away from Roger since he entered the league, is another true believer. At least I think?? The primary motivation is ol Betsy threatening to beat Roger up if he doesn't feed them better passes. It's working so far this season but it's still a little vague if they actually support Murdock or just have excuse ready for violence...

Alexi Piastri excited to hear that there was recently a short documentary released which chronicles his career up until this point. The production really took him back along the journey that he has been on in his hockey career. There was clips of winning the 4 Star Cup with the Nevada Battleborn, breaking the SMJHL single season and career goals / points records, hid Jesster winning rookie season in the SHL with the Minnesota Monarchs, and the excellent playoff run in his first season with The Los Angeles Panthers which saw him take home the Razov award and the Panthers win the Challenge Cup. But what struck Piastri the hardest, was the interviews with his teammates and coaches who have shared his journey, particularly, clips from Paul Peterson who was drafted to the Battleborn with Alexi and was a huge reason for his success in juniors. It's tough to not be able to talk with Paul about hockey, the great state of Florida, or just life in general.

Honestly, Gwendolyn Telenn is out of her depth right now playing alongside the Quebec team recently. She's played and practiced so thoroughly with friends like Literally Wizard and Jim Weiners that even as a more experienced player, she doesn't fully mesh with those around her right now. Even still, with the new rookies brought into the team she does what she can alongside the rest of the team to break them in and improve their skills. Her time with Quebec is fleeting, but she'll ensure the team she lands on improves how it can while she lasts, drilling the other forward rookies until they give, and then more. It's a bit selfish, but with her size it's the only time she can push an "opponent" without being crafty and slippery. Even with that in mind, she cares for them all. She adores what they can bring to the team, and wishes to see them succeed. Taking just one player under her wing only weakens the performance of the rest, afterall.

Written Option 2

If you were going to have a documentary about Thomas Sawschuk. You would first have to start in Las Vegas. Nevada's management team were the first to really even attempt to understand the enigma that is Thomas Sawschuk. They would be hard to reach now that they have both retired from managing teams, but if tracked down, they would talk about how Thomas Sawschuk always came to practice with the right attitude, He never complained and he was always willing to help. Maybe they would talk about his awesome train collection too! Next you would have to speak to Hamilton and New England's management teams respectively. They both wanted Thomas coming off his stellar SMJHL career. It was a hotly contested draft. They would echo the same thing as Nevada. However they would talk about culture fits and the like. Of course, Hamilton would ultimately draft Thomas and New England would trade for him in the coming years. Once there, Thomas continued his development and winning a few cups along the way.

Cormier was fortunate to have a lot of really great influential people in his lufe in a variety of ways. If they were going to make a documentary about him, the first people Cormier would want them to talk to are his parents. They both worked just as hard as Cormier himself did to get him where he is at and he is very cognizant of that. They are the ones that saw him at practice every week at 5am. They are the ones that wouldve driven him to every game and tournament. They would have the best perspective on his development as a person and player. After his parents, his AAA coach would be next. that's really where Cormier took the next step as a player and his coach would have great insight on what he did exactly to stand out from the rest of the kids and get a shot at playing in the smjhl and then the shl.

Written Task, Prompt 2

To create a documentary of Rodrigo Bane's career, it begins with his father's time in Carolina in his SMJHL days. His father has been the pathfinder as Roddy B the Second has navigated his way into professional hockey. The Carolina Kraken saw potential in the family legacy, and acquired Roddy for a major cup push at the end of his Junior Career. There, the focus was on the climb, and the path forward.

Now, as he settles into a role with the Montreal Patriotes, the cycle continues. Like his father, he comes to the team deep in a rebuild. The early going has been tough. But it has given Roddy and the other young Patriotes valuable experience. Now, as they continue to be joined by young re-enforcements from successive drafts, the momentum is building in Montreal. Trapped in a perennially tough division, the young core is beginning to take strides and the future is looking brighter in Montreal day by day.

Definitely Valerija Seraphim is team rookie mentor for Montreal. She help the new kids get up to speed and keeps them motivated throughout the season. She meets them in the airport and helps get them settled into their new homes. Then she takes them around the city that usually ends with dinner in a nice restaurant. The next day she test the new kids by giving them a hit in practice trying to see if she can provok them into a fight. If they do fight she let's the kids win not to risk injury. She get all the rookies' numbers so that she can keep them in the place where they need to be and keep them out of trouble. She is finding mentorship to be far more enjoyable than shee expected and is thinking about following her adopted dad into coaching when her playing career eventually ends

As the captain of the Detroit Falcons, the style of leadership that Ana Söderström chooses to emulate matters a great deal. While she isn't able to make as much of an impact directly on how the new rookies handle themselves on the ice and improve their play since she's a goalie, she can still teach the kids a lot about how to be a professional and contribute in the room and outside of the rink. Ana is generally a pretty quiet voice who prefers to let her leadership by example do the talking, but when she does get loud it means that what she's saying is important. The biggest way that the goalie can help new rookies adjust to the SMJHL is by relating to them; having moved so far away from her family at a young age, she knows just what it's like to have to leave everything that you were familiar with in your old life, and therefore she can use that experience to help when it comes to things like dealing with life on the road.

Bongo · 08-18-2024, 09:25 PM

In order to understand the progression of BONGOS skillset, you must head back to season 73 and talk to old heads like Ubba Lodbrok. Lodbrok is now making himself a name on the Philadelphia forge but it was in the anchorage locker room where he first saw bongo do that trick where you flip a plastic water bottle and it lands entirely upright. Also when lodbrok saw bongo complete this task; it is well documented that Bongo then followed up with an epic DAB.

You could also ask Muon Collider about how bongo hit the backwards griddy after defeating Vancouver in 7 games. Bongo then exclaimed “yeah well if anyone is gonna win it this year it’s this group of absolute beauties”. Quebec then handed anchorage their ticket home in 5 games.

The thing with bongo is, he has never been a winner. This is the big monkey on his back. He has a couple years to take advantage of this inferno core. After his prime passes, he may be best suited in a warm city, leading through example. Bongo needs to bring a championship to Atlanta to solidify his legend status.

P2: Tony Soprano’s journey to hockey stardom began with a few key figures who helped him along the way, even if not all of them were exactly cheerleaders. One of the most memorable influences was his Uncle Junior, who had a habit of reminding Tony that he "didn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete." Junior would say it every chance he got, usually right after Tony had scored a game-winning goal or outskated his opponents. Instead of being discouraged, Tony used Junior’s constant doubts as motivation. "I loved proving him wrong," Tony recalls. "Every time he said it, I’d push myself harder, just to see the look on his face when I did the impossible." Tony’s early mentors saw his potential and helped guide him, but it was Uncle Junior’s doubting words that pushed Tony to go above and beyond, making his success that much sweeter. Guess Tony did have the makings of a varsity athlete.
