Written Option 1

Antonio Flusso, if delivered this news by the GM in person would probably responds with a confused and slightly disgusted face, hoping to display his displeasure with the "honor" of being the teams selected representative for this draft pick. Flusso has no issues with prospects, the draft, new teammates, or even the public spotlight, but to be chosen to take part in this horrible gimmick is below even him. It's a great moment for the player being picked, forever tarnished by having some washout or celebrity come up and attempt to take even the smallest amount of the spotlight away and shine it on themselves. That's how he views it anyway. Even still, he isn't one to decline the GM, so he would agree but ask if they are certain and attempt to pawn of the duty onto someone else. He would hit the stage with a brisk pace, well dressed but with an air of "I'm too good for this" and hit the stage and say the name of the player. At no point does he make eye contact with anyone besides the player when he shakes their hand.

Written option 2:
Due to many of his teammates going up to the SHL or being traded to another team, Jauhnne Hawky has suddenly found himself as one of the most experienced players, and the most experienced forward on the Kelowna Knights, despite it only being his second season on the team. Because of this he feels a responsibility to help the new rookies out, making sure they feel welcomed and are they know their role on the team, just like the previous old guard did for him during his rookie season. But the best way he can teach the rookies is by leading by example. Jauhnne attends the training camp early and regularly, hoping his punctuality will rub off on the other members of his team. He puts his all into his training, still making sure he is at his peak performance and can be there for his team when it really matters.

This year, Atlanta inferno sent the Co-Gm angus mcfife to make the draft selection. Puddles O'duckling was gonna be the chosen player, the son of Puddles O'duck @Z-Whiz, the D partner of the Angus McFIfe during their years as Infernos. Then, when arriving on the stage, Angus McFife fumbled the name of the selection. Being used to mocking the father of the duckling, Angus called the young duck Puddles O'Fuckling. OOOPS. A bad word on national TV. The Atlanta co-gm was very very disapoiinted with the fail and apologised but the drama had started. The media was question @hotdog the GM as to why Angus still had a job as co-gm but hotdog was also thinking it was funny to call him that way and then everyone accepted it was funny and not a canceletation situation because everyone thinks hotdog is cool haha. Puddles O'duckiling is a great prospect because he is a duck and has a funny reproductive system but also can fly on the ice.

Written option 1:

Roisin would be extremely thrilled to be given the honor to announce the first pick of the season, perhaps even being over the moon for it. So yes, obviously they would take the Edmonton or San Diego GM’s offer up, without a bit of hesitation. As for the announcement, I imagine they would likely do it on their weekly podcast/show with Matthias, creating an entire episode or a segment on the Blizzard Buzz. If she did go all out, she would likely even invite the Blizzard or Tidal GMs on for it. The show itself would likely involve a few skits/comedy sketches, maybe even a mock ceremony, and so on. So yeah, all in all it would be a big event for her and would be something she did her utmost to ensure was a memorable event, both for her team and for the pick. Alternatively, you might see her do a special event or ceremony to announce the pick with the GM and a few of her teammates.

Hugh Manius’s first thought when he heard that the New Orleans Specters wanted him to, first be at the draft ceremony in general and second actually announce the team’s first round draft pick. “Was are you out of your mind, what are you trying to due jinx the poor guy or gal, what is wrong with you?” Although at the end of the day the draftee is going to be a team mate and will part of the locker room, and plus it figured it would not help that players relation with him if they found out he basically said “No I will not come to that dude induction to the league and the team.” And he thought that could be a bad look so he agreed to it. Besides this would present the opportunity of a very nice dinner with drinks and hot media women via the SHL and not from his wallet which is always a bonus.

In order to show that Jacppo is a leader to the Maine Timber management he makes sure that he stays in Maine during the offseason. He understands that a lot of international players like to return home during the offseason but for Jacppo he thinks that showing the management staff that he is here and working will go a long way in developing his leadership skills. There has even been a few instances where Jacppo has decided to let a few of the younger players stay with him during the offseason. It is something he does to help build chemistry amongst him and his teammates. He also prioritizes showing up to any and all team training activities that he can. This helps him get to know the play styles of everyone on the team and helps him be able to hit the ground running much earlier than other players that return after the long break that is the offseason.

Option 1:

If Shadow Fenix were to be chosen to be the one to announce a draft pick for the Seattle Argonauts, he would probably be quite nervous. He also thinks that it isn't really the business of a player to be involved in the draft process, and that it something that management should be entirely involved with. So with that said, he would likely decline to do it, but end up doing it anyway because of some media clause in his contract. He would just go up and announce the name, of course after practicing it for a long time so he doesn't mess it up. Of course, given that the Seattle Argonauts only had a 2nd round pick this past draft, the odds of knowing who that pick is going to be ahead of time goes down drastically, so there's only so much practice he can get. Fenix would probably still do fine, if not be a just a little echoey.

During the offseason, Billy Herrington doesn't take a break from being a leader—he embraces the role even more. Known for his dedication both on and off the ice, Billy has always understood that leadership goes beyond just playing well during the season. So when the offseason hits, he's still very much engaged with his team and management, showing them that he’s committed to the long-term success of the organization. First off, Billy is the kind of guy who reaches out to younger teammates or rookies who might be joining the team. Whether it's through informal meetups or texting them words of encouragement, he makes sure they feel welcomed and up to speed on how things work in the locker room and on the ice. Even though he’s a veteran, Billy’s approach is very hands-on—he's not above skating drills with the younger guys just to help them get their legs under them before camp officially starts. While many players might take some time off to relax (and Billy does enjoy his moments of golf and relaxation), he’s also one of the first to volunteer to come into training camp early. He leads by example, showing his dedication to improving and staying sharp, and this doesn’t go unnoticed by management. Even when he doesn't have to be there, Billy’s on the ice working on his conditioning and skills, showing his teammates that preparation never stops, even when the games aren’t being played. He’s not just concerned with his personal stats; Billy makes sure to be someone his team can look up to by demonstrating that leadership is about more than big speeches. It’s about consistent effort, involvement, and setting a tone that elevates everyone around him, and the offseason is no different.

Quote:Written Option 1: It is always an honour to be the guest or team member to announce your team’s newest first pick in the draft. This season the honour just so happens to be given to your player! How do they react to the news after being called by the team’s general manager? Do they take them up on the offer? If so, how do they do with the announcement? Do they go all out and turn it into a show? Or accidentally flub it and become a meme on the internet?

Jae-ik would be floored by the choice to have him make the first round pick for Atlanta at the next draft. He would know that this is a special moment for a future teammate’s career, and would handle the occasion with the necessary gravitas and respect for the occasion.
He would immediately call up the manager of the Atlanta Inferno to say thanks and to reassure them that he will do a good job. There’s no question that he would accept, as to do otherwise would be a great disrespect to both the manager and the franchise.
I think he would do well, but there’s always the risk with these things that something could go wrong. Best case scenario is that he gets the name, team, and league right. Worst case is that he slips on a banana peel or completely gets the name wrong. Maybe the prospect’s name is David Reddenbacher, and instead of saying that name he just says “David….” And then freezes. Being a meme on the internet is not ideal, but it’s not the worst thing in the world.

Written Option 2:

Ville Sato-Maki, once a rookie himself, has now taken up a leadership role in terms of helping the rookies settle into the town of Vancouver and showing them around. To start, he gives them suggestions on where to live and what good places there are to eat! Of course on their first night he'll let them settle down and bring him to a nice restaurant downtown, and for some rookies he even lets them crash at his place for the night as they look to settle down just temporarily in the next few seasons. Now on the ice, Sato-Maki tries to set an example by always being the first one on ice and calling the other teammates out to be there early and to help with clean up. And of course, the end of the training is topped off once again by some team bonding at the local bar where the drinks and food are on him.

Gnabe in the off-season is for sure a leader by example. He does everything and more than what is expected for him to perform as required by the teams management. This includes a large portion of gnabes off-season being spent in the Philly area so he can be fully prepped fkr the season. A typical week includes showing up at the local bars early in the morning. And pouring a few beers. Gnabe loves to practice like he plays, mostly drunk. After downing a few beers or seven gnabe will start with a short jog followed by an hour or so of shadow boxing around the bar while taking shots everytime he feels like it. Everyonece in awhile someone will start to talk smack around gnabe and he goes into he next phase if training, physical altercations with random patrons to make sure he is ready to fight on the ice. Thos has worked well for the last few years and will continue to work well we think.
