Option 1:

When GM hotdog came up with the idea for a team pet, he did not even need to ask the locker room what their thoughts were. Behind his back he revealed the most adorable river otter anyone had ever seen. Immediately he began roaming around, doing that cute high pitched squeak that otters do. What do we name him? everyone in the locker room was asking. Well, we could not NOT name him after one of the franchise's absolute legends, Eko. And so it was set in stone, Eko van Otter had officially been "reincarnated" into Eko the baby otter. Everyone on the team takes their own turns and shares of taking care of him. While he mostly hangs out in the training room in the various tubs that the players use, he will join them out on the bench for warm ups from time to time. His cuteness drives this team to do better day in and day out.

Team staff are some of the unsung heroes of the SHL. No way that teams and players would be ready on game day without the hard work of all the staff that goes on behind the scenes. One of the most valuable staff members is the equipment manager. A good equipment manager ensures that all the players are set and ready to go. From helmets, to sticks, to skates, players can show up on game day knowing that their skates will be sharp and there's a backup stick ready to go for them in case they break theirs. Its painstaking work getting a jersey put together just right for one player, much less a whole team. Another unsung hero are the physical therapists, who work with the players to keep their bodies healthy enough to perform their best. Every player suffers injuries during the season, and the PTs help keep those injuries as minimal as possible and keep the players feeling and playing their best. The PTs help keep the players ready to go on game day.

Carl, the answer is Carl. Simply put, Los Angeles has been way ahead of the curve in that we already have a mascot, a team companion that is very in line with our brand and identity : Carl the Panther. You read that right, the team brass has elected to overlook your typical cat and dog. While yes a dog is a great companion, a dog is a loyal friend and the cuddles are simply put elite, are they really enough for a hockey team? Cats are just way too boring to fit that role, great at home, but lazy and nonchalant to the point where considering them is a grave mistake. So we got a panther, a beautiful young cub at first that was trained to be the best damn presence you would wish for. Its cute, its powerful, its fearsome for opposing teams (yes we let Carl roam freely to intimidate our visitors, gotta do what you can to get an edge!) and it eats all the leftovers cooked up by the chef, its the biggest W the organization has had other than the season 75 and season 78 cups, and morale has been through the roof!

We are going to get a team pet, that is like the most fun thing possible. But, like what kind of pet should we get? Where would we even keep this pet? Well, we are going to get a pet raccoon. It's more commonly known as a trash panda, so this would be such a fun pet to be around. I mean, we could also put them in the visitors locker room to cause havoc and absolutely destroy the room, so that would give us a competitive advantage. That would be super interesting and plus they are super cute. They would be so cuddly. We would keep them in the locker room until we need to unleash them and then they can go to the locker room. It would be awful if they got out, so we have to be sure they stay where they need to be. I think this is such a gamechanger, plus also brings morale to the locker room.

Man, I’m all for having a team pet! I think it’s exactly what the New Orleans Specters need to keep the locker room vibes high. If we’re picking a mascot, it’s gotta be something fierce but a bit quirky too. How about a raccoon? Hear me out, those little guys are scrappy, quick, and they know how to make a mess, just like us on the ice. We could call him Bandit, perfect for a sneaky playmaker. Bandit wouldn’t just chill in the arena either, I say he’s got full access, locker room and all. Imagine him hanging out on the bench during games, riling up the boys. It’d be hilarious! Plus, he could pop into practices, steal pucks, and keep everyone on their toes. As for who takes care of him? Let’s have each player take him home for a week, kinda like those class pets we had as kids. Everyone would get a turn to bond with Bandit. Of course, we’d need someone on staff to make sure he’s not getting into too much trouble, but I think it’d be a fun way to keep the team tight. Bandit’s got that New Orleans spirit, gritty and unpredictable, just like us.

dieter frühstück does not like pets. he hates animals. he only likes animals when they are cooked. so he made sure that he had no role whatsoever in picking the anchorage armada's new pet because he doesn't like animals. frühstück decided that he'd go with whatever the team wanted, and avoid any responsibility for it, which was fine because the team ended up picking a blue whale to be their pet as a joke. they wanted to go for something nautical (because the team is named after a group of boats) and decided on a whale because it would piss off their rivals in vancouver. for their first game against the whalers they upped the ante. they made a huge armada jersey and put it on the whale then somehow found out a way to get the whale, named "blubber mcblubbface" into the rink (in a huge pool near the ice). the whale led chants and was observed as saying "i hate vancouver" in whalespeak. safe to say that frühstück likes animals now.

Written 1:
I imagine that the locker room pet of the Aurora would be a Pyrenees Dog since it’s so white and fluffy, it can look a bit like a Polar Bear. I would hope it would be called Rory or even Roary to make it more punny. It might be that Langston would take care of the dog more than anyone else, just because he smells like meat so much that Rory attaches themselves to Langston. But in actuality there is likely a staff that has taking care of Rory built into their duties, mainly the Winnipeg PR team. Rory will have free reign of the entire facility (as long as where they go will not be dangerous for the dog or anyone else). For not being a distraction reasons, Rory will not be allowed on the team bench during games lest the players find themselves too enticed to be booping the snoot rather than scoring goals.

Written Option 1: Nothing compares to the joy of coming home to a loyal companion, or so does your GM think as they come up with the idea to boost morale of the team and to get a mascot for the team with one move. So they will get a team pet (if there already isn't one), but they let players pick what it will be. So what kind of pet will it be? What will it be called? Does it just hang around the arena or training facilities or will it go into the locker or even join the team on bench (I’m pretty sure there is no rule in SHL forbidding gooses from the bench)? Who takes care of it? Will there be dedicated staff for it or will it spend a week with each player?

Well to the protest of many in the animal rights world the Tampa Bay Barracuda have officially acquired Scrappy the Great Barracuda from Jude's Aquarium Emporium. Jude was a sketchy dude but the team got Scrappy at a great price so win-win!

The team has worked to create a huge tank for Scrappy all around the arena so Scrappy can swim around the boards and offer a general distraction to the other team. This also offers potential marketing revenue which has yet to be effectively flushed but I am sure it will be something odd.

Jude has agreed to take on the contract to care for Scrappy's tank make sure he is well cared for so he isn't entirely out of the picture at this point. The team is really excited to see scrappy at the games and are looking forward to giving him fin bumps during goals or other positive Tampa Bay plays.

There has been some construction going on at our arena because I was the decisive vote in our teams new mascot, well in truth it was left totally up to me. So with our new technological wizardry we are making one entire side of our boards into a giant 20,000 gallon fish tank and our new mascot(s) will be arriving soon. It is an entire school of Northern Pike. They are the sharks of the north and are an amazing specimen to see. The opponents will be so distracted watching them swim around that it will be sure to be worth one or two goals a game. What great team we will be. And if any of our players take a penalty and are forced to sit in the penalty box, there will be a hatch there to help feed the big guys and then really watch out because they will go into a frenzy at that point. We will even have a contest to name the mascot family.

So, RAmenAmen got the Citadelles a mascot. Because of the team's branding, it was pretty straightforward what to choose: a white owl. We weren't sure whether it was more out of a play for morale (morale's riding high with us 2nd in the standings) or because of the mouse problem in our arena, but an owl was chosen for the job all the same. Now, once an owl was living in the arena, a couple issues came up. First, they made it a few carved perches, shaped like some of the animal logos of our enemies. The catch is, the damn owl never perches on them, so it just looks like we have these tributes to our rivals. Second, we frequently find owl poop on the benches (in particular, the penalty boxes, no one knows why - I guess it makes penalties that much worse). I suppose the one benefit is that the benches get cleaned a lot more often now.

GM @hotdog and his life partner and co gm @micool132 did some great work bringing in some new staff this season to make the Atlanta Inferno the best they can be. Philippe-Eko Eel pulled some strings for hotdog and brought some friends in to provide electric shocks to players in between shifts to keep their joints loose and make sure they don't stiffen up there on the bench and make them play worse. It also serves as a form of punishment for those not playing well which Sim Wen is very familiar with when they shock you more and more for each mistake. They also serve as post game masseuses and use their slimy eel bodies to stimulate the team in other ways. These eels on staff are the most important members of the staff and really get the best out of each and every player and really are setting the team up for success in this season and the next and every other season in the future.

The Edmonton Blizzard recently made a surprising choice for their new mascot of an Arctic fox naturally! The team has voted on a name and came up with Blizzo. The decision has been a hit with fans, adding an extra element of fun and excitement to the game-day experience. The furry and energetic mascot has been a big hit with both kids and adults, bringing a new level of energy to the games. Overall, the Arctic fox has become a beloved symbol of the team's spirit and determination on and off the ice. When we're not playing or on the road he has a wonderful habitat that team owners have graciously constructed. A lot of the players asked to have the mascot travel with the team but a feasible plan just hasn't been thought up of yet but owners are trying to appease the team as many think Blizzo is a good luck charm and a big part of the teams surprising start to the season.
