Written Option 1:
Chuck Stewart has spent two seasons in the SMJHL with a new linemate for both. In his first season, Chuck shared the ice with Max Belcher (@xjoverax ). The captain of the team who took Chuck under his wing and taught him many valuable on and off-ice lessons about being in the J and being the professional. Max aged out of the J and moved up into the big kids league, leaving a hole on the first line of the defence. In his second season, Chuck shares the with Kenneth Lind(@Canadice ), who also happens to be the captain. Another season sharing the ice with the captain and veteran player is extremely valuable for Chuck in his development as a person and player. Despite not having more than this season together, the two seem to have found chemistry early as they are helping push the Kraken to a surprisingly good season. Chuck still remains good friends with Max and has become good friends with Kenneth as the season progresses. Chuck and Kenneth are both S78 creates so they could spend another two seasons in the J together.
The Renegades have been in the hot seat the last couple of seasons as they chase their main goal of winning the cup. They were nearly there a couple seasons ago when they made it to game 7 of the finals but in the end we're taken down by the New England Wolfpack. The media has been at them now that they have been having a successful season at the top of standings for the majority of this season but Boots and his team have been stearing clear from social media for the most part. They are already in their heads enough they don't need additional stress from toxic fans. They do however know there is a lot of great fans mixed in among them who end up getting drowned out. The Renegades have a social media manager who administrates incoming messages to their social media and will take the good messages and put it on a display in the team locker room. The team knows they have passionate fans and some of them are just upset because they want them to win and they get it but they never single anybody out. They play as a team, they lose as a team and they win as a team. Nobody ever gets the blame.

Written Option 1:
Yea my linemates don't really have that much chemistry with Marian, but Marian has made a spotlight for himself and his linemates with practicing after practice on chemistry and etc. Marian last two seasons he was teamed up with Hudson @EricNCSUand Howlett @Schocar to where he had the most chemistry with because we would always do extra stuff after practice and most of the time I just shoot the puck on net and they scavenge for the rebound and put it in the back of the net. This paid off last season when I lead the team in points and in the first two rounds was the most dominant player. Now that both of them are in the SHL, I have new linemates that will get some chemistry with Hanak even though it's his last ride in the J, James Mawk @quanin and Oatmeal Josephsdóttir @Joester09 . Even though we don't have much chemistry I think we can make a huge difference on this second line.
Derek has had the chance to play with a lot of amazing players, from early in his career with Los Angeles Legends such as Long John Donair or Jimmy Fraser. That said, he's been even luckier to evolve with such a strong core of players within one or two years of age of him. From the moment he stepped foot on the ice for the first time in Season 71, Reed Kobo, Pass Forfeit, Adam Prpich and Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz have always been around, and have been staples and crucial parts of the team's success. Between the all-time points leader in Kobo, perennial MVP in Prpich, defensive rock and mainstay on the blueline in Forfeit and crease warrior (and occasional sieve), the two time McBride winning Greg. What a cast! There's one player who's been on Derek's side through all of it, sharing a line, locker room neighbor, best friend and partner in crime through the up years and the down years, the ying to Derek's yang, and that's Axel Kirby (@Otrebor13). Kirby is a year younger than Derek, was drafted by Calgary but traded for by LA, started his career a season earlier but since they've been paired together, they've been unstoppable, and will go down as one of the deadliest combination of complete 200 feet hockey the team and the league have seen.
Being that Will is in only his second season as a SHL player, its been a feeling out process to find the best linemate at this point. Its hard to say that the young man from Germany has found his forever defensive partner yet but he is showing some really early success with Slip McScruff. The 2 have had some good early chemistry and its showing despite the Steelhawks losing record. With a few recent wins and some great showing on the individual stats front, the 2 have show some critics just how well they can play together. Slip maybe on his way out of the league and Nuck is just starting out, the 2 seem to be feeding off of one another and its easy to see the on ice results. McScruff has definitely been showing Will a few tricks of the trade while he still has a shift or two left in him.
My player, Leonard Wood, thinks social media is a huge distraction and avoids it at all costs. To him, it is a slippery slope to get caught up in all of the rumors, comments, etc because it just causes him to lose focus on whats really important. Instead, Leonard puts his head down and tunes out all of the outside noise. The only thing that matters to him is what happens out on the ice, in the locker room, and in the gym. That's where the results come in. He believes in his coaches and teammates, not randos on social media. All of the speculation that runs wild on social media is counterintuitive to what he is trying to achieve. Leonard Wood is focused on winning a Challenge Cup. He is focused on feeding his family via a career in professional hockey. The social media, he leaves for the media and the fans.
My player's goalie partner comes from a very particular goalie species that has a long history. Not too much is known about it and most people don't know when it first appeared, but researchers call it Inactivus Backupiensis. Commonly they are just referred to as IA Backups and they are always exclusively backup goalies as you might have guessed. Various sub-species exist and sometimes a random goalie can evolve into one of them, often when they're still young. Sad story, I've seen it happen myself. It's difficult to build chemistry with one of them because they lack the most basic communication skills. However, when they start a game (it is necessary sometimes to rest your starter) they can surprise you and show an amazing performance and shutouts aren't unheard of either. Shaggy has played with a couple of different ones during his career. His current goalie partner is called Masked Stanger or at least that's the name on the jersey and on the locker room stall. Stanger has never spoken to anyone all season. Perhaps he's just shy.
Levon Dojkic has a huge following on every social media platform you can think of, Facebook, X, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, the list goes on. But his content is all the same: Vancouver highlights, every single game, Levon finds two or more incredible plays by his team, even when they are blown out 13-2 by Quebec he finds some way to look on the brighter side, like his teammate Dominic Enselmo quietly sneaking up the takeaway leaderboard, or Trent Mackenzie every game, making huge saves to kept Vancouver within reach. His fans really appreciate his dedication to the game and to his teammates, and providing them the opportunity to experience those moments with him. Levon rarely posts videos of himself, though Noxus would say that's because he hasn't done anything worth a highlight. They argue a lot on X, but it is mostly show for the fans, expect for Noxus' horrid defense.
Rence Sykut has never been a big fan of social media. While he understands that the team has obligation to use the medium to promote the team and players, he limits his online presence as much as the team will allow him to. On a personal level, Rence does not have a Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, or Twitter account and never has. It is simply not something he is interested in and he does not see that ever changing. The only social media type platform that he frequents is Reddit, where he will occasionally see user commentary about him or the team, but is quick to dismiss it as everyone is entitled to their own opinions. It is just as his father once said, "What you think about me is none of my darn business", and those are words that he lives by when coming across online opinions about him or his teammates.
Written Option 2:
Langston sometimes looks up himself on social media, but honestly tries to stay off of it. he prefers to use to to look up new meat based recipes and other grille related activities. When it comes to playing hockey and social media, mostly, he gets yelled at for not playing well defensively, something that has plagued him his entire career. Usually, he just ignores that, but sometimes he does get tagged in league media for a play he does so he likes to watch it back from a different angle, but in reality he really tries to stay away from anything hockey when on social media so he usually uses a "burner" account or an account that has zero connection to hockey or sports in general and instead follows a lot of DIY projects, Fashion and meme accounts as well as entertainment news. He likes interacting with some anonymity on social media and engaging with people in that way.

Written Option 2: Dominic keeps up with all that is said about him, on lots of websites and platforms. He posts pictures of his daily routines and him and his teammates goofing off at practice, and most of the feedback is awesome. Of course there will be a few people who come back to things negatively, be it rival fans or people just joking around like a different player. Dominic has seen a lot of it since his induction into the league so he is very much used to all the banter people come up with, able to ignore it if necessary. Lots of his Whalers teammates like Levon Dojkic follow him on social media and they share all sorts of things in public or in private team group chats. If you think the Whalers team is bad, you should see the locker room chats. But it's all fun and games, and Dominic is quick to go along with it as long as there is no harm. There is a lot of shame on social media for the Whalers this season that sometimes stings, but they keep trying to do their best no matter what people say.
2. Roquefort Cotswold is a social media phenom. As a multi sport athlete, he can't get the media to leave him alone. Despite multiple attempts to avoiding them, the papparazi seems to follow him everywhere that he goes. Roque has a hard time not reading it, given he often dominates the headlines. It is, naturally, almost entirely positive - as Roquefort is perhaps the most dominant and natural athlete to ever participate in the world of sports. Whether it is in the "international simulation football league" or the (notably non international) simulation hockey league, Roquefort is often praised for his constant stifling of opposing players. Just earlier today, in fact, he was pinged multiple times by famed bum @Bamford13 of the Arizona Outlaws who could not cope with the fact that he was once again "clamped up" and "shut down" by a literal mouse. I do not blame him, for i'd be pretty frustrated too if a literal RODENT stopped me from performing. Anyways, Roque takes pride in eliciting reactions from such easily prodded cattle.

While having accounts on several social media apps, Ju-gong wouldn’t be one to fame scroll or anything of the likes. On some occasion he may read an @ and even like it, but aside from that he simply uses those platforms for a few reasons. One is to follow teammates both current and former, the other to advertise or share social media campaigns by the the team. Only under very rare circumstances would he ever consider posting content of his own, saving that for only the most significant of occasions like cup wins and gold medals. Mostly he makes appearances on his twitter, but on Facebook and instagram he will occasionally offer some kind of content - often after practices at times where he has nothing else to do whatsoever. Ju-gong has never checked social media on a game day, before or after, regardless if he plays good or badly, nothing good can come from it long term.
