Have you ever had a boss drag you into the middle of nowhere for a "team building exercise"? How awful was it? Did you have to do pointless icebreakers every hour and meaningless challenges to test your ability to work well in a group when you've already proven that over years at your job? Now imagine that with incessant bagpipes and you have a sense of what Frenchie dragged the Ottawa Highlanders through in the preseason. Divided into two groups, forwards vs defense and goalies, the Highlanders competed in egg races, fire pit coal walking, and a hot dog eating contest (steamed dogs of course) all while Ruggsy played the bagpipes to throw everyone off. Despite their lesser numbers, the defense came away with the victory under the guidance of the "food group" Grapehead, Cheese N'Wine, and Minty. The forwards were in disarray as Hotdog Lunch defected, Spiff floated away as if in space, and a small group fawned over a picture of a duck. Frenchie later called it a rousing success and praised Ruggsy's excellent musical abilities for weeks.

Deth Klaw is a knock on champ at anything survival related. After all, he is a post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland creature, so anything the wilds of say, Montana, can throw at him are nothing. Hot, cold, wet, dry, nothing fazes Klaw. Really it would be kind of unfair to make the rest of the team compete with that. Well, outside of the 'put the marshmallow on the roasting stick' game where his large claws prevent him from competing. That was just a straight up mean play by the coach. No one wants to be on Klaw's team, either, because he simply enjoys the outside in a way that everyone else finds painful. Ultimately, the coach just set Klaw to the side to work on his own thing rather than ruin the experience for everyone else. Of course they would all rather be sleeping in their own warm beds than roughing it in the wilderness!

Physical training is completely meaningless to Kristian Seppanen, the star right defenceman for the Atlanta Inferno hockey team of the eastern conference of the Simulation Hockey League, otherwise known as the SHL, who has strong physical attributes and recognizes the perks that come with his inability to be injured. Mentally, Kristian Seppanen is unable to train, thanks to the league's Head Office rules which prevents training in most mental attributes to avoid any potential lawsuits that may span in the future regarding CTE and other traumatic brain injuries (the rationale being that limiting mental training will also limit the scale of potential mental decline in old age, and make it more difficult to attribute to league activities). Rather, Kristian Seppanen focuses all his time, effort, and energy on the important skills (like shot blocking and passing and defending). Normal people eat and drink to survive, but Seppanen blocks shots.

Written Option 1:
A team Survivor competition is probably not something that Barcus Juneau would naturally excel at. Doing well in Survivor takes a unique combination of athletic skill and cunning. The athletic skill part is covered fairly well, but that can be said for pretty much every professional hockey player. Barcus would hope to get teamed up with a few of his teammates. First off, mountain of a man, 6ft 9in 275lb Dieter Fruhstuck would be invaluable for any of the strength-based physical challenges. Hughes Incorporated would be an asset for any challenge involving physical speed. But the key teammate might just be Javelin Bodine, acknowledged as the smartest player on the squad. Whether or not he would win early or tough it out until the end of the competition, Barcus would make the most of this chance to bond with his teammates in a unique off-ice setting. Bonds forged during the off-season are an investment, available to be cashed in during times of adversity in the long season to come. ![[Image: Uy7TeEn.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/Uy7TeEn.jpeg)

Option 1:
Jussi Mutou would likely do quite well as his summers in the J were mostly spent in the mountains going camping with the team for weeks at a time. As a result, his endurance, strength, and basic survival skills are all better than average. Give Jussi nothing but a tarp, some rope, and a knife and he should be able to set himself up pretty well. He knows how to find food in the wilderness and could be counted on to hunt for necessities. As well as being familiar with knots to set up shelters and whatever else they might need, he could see himself easily making the final few. Add on his natural strength and fitness and he could be th last one standing. One thing that may stand in his way is that he may over exert himself in the various challenges, rendering him completely useless for anything beyond that. This is something Jussi would have to rely on his teammates for support to prevent burnout. ![[Image: IxqyMuw.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/IxqyMuw.gif) ![[Image: 29XRi31.png]](https://i.imgur.com/29XRi31.png) ![[Image: eL4cCu1.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/eL4cCu1.jpg)

2) I think that most off seasons Pinli more or less sticks to the same physical training regimen. It's been working all these years so why switch it up now, right? He's not old enough to have any nagging injuries or wear and tear to be concerned about so for now it's steady on the rudder and keep getting stronger and better each season. That being said, the mental side of the prep has to switch up every season depending on what you're gearing up for. Seattle has been coming up from the bottom of a rebuild in his whole time there, so each season has just been about trying to make good habits and not get bogged down in your record. Wins are awesome, but for the young guys its been about doing your job right and hoping for the best. In season 80 I think the talent level is there now, we've developed, we have the experience, so now we need to go out there and show the league that we're not going to be in rebuild forever. We want a winning record and a playoff round at least, so mentally Pinli's getting ready for the long haul!

I've only ever watched Dropout's Survivor so I don't think I really know how it works, but if there are two tribes against each other in Quebec City, it's players that are more offensive-minded versus defensive-minded. Since there are so many players on QCC we're taking defensive to mean "has at least 13s in their defensive attributes. On the offensive team it's Cristoforo Roccamontepiano, Randolph Thompson-Smythe, Andrea Morandi, Duke Howard, Dejana Kaptina, Gordon McFisherman, Shiny Rainbow, Peter, and Dominic Enselm. On the defensive team it's Rodwin Dionicio, Aslak Hestnes, QCCBOT4, Ela Solberg, Lewis Holl, Uwe Bindewald, Anatolyi Tarasov, and Levon Dojkic. The offensive team might get one or two eliminations on the defensive team early, but once the defensive team wins one week they'll snowball from there, winning every following week with their superior teamwork. While the offensive team is trying to brute force a win, they'll be picking them off one by one, and if the goalies have any say they'll start with Cristoforo Roccamontepiano.

Prompt two
How do we survive? Well, a lot of that is ingrained in you ever since you started to play summer and winter sports as a child. Especially when we all made the step up to the highest competitive level before we became professionals. In order to stay in this league and win in this league plenty of discipline is required unless you have some ungodly amount of talent. The early mornings have become a habit at this point. When you practice these habits during the regular season the offseason feels like a break of sorts as the "hard part" now comes with more time to rest and games are on pause for a few weeks. Another way we stay sharp mentally is by focusing on a new goal or refining a rusty skill a player has. By thinking actively and setting out goals for yourself it is easy to really improve in one category due to all the time we have in the offseason. (164)

Shiny Rainbow is a big fan of the TV show survivor and a bit of an outdoor/survival enthusiast herself. She'd definetly try to stay out there as long as possible and would very likely do so succesfully since there would't be alot of competion. The plan would probably be to be on a team with Gordon McFisherman and to get him out as soon as possible. If he can't get a chance to live up to his name everyone else will probably look forward to be back in Quebec City as soon as possible. Leaving this to become a showdown for two best equipped members for the outdoors. Both excelling in the outdoor life with the ability to possibly stay there forever. A duell Dog against Unicorn, 4th year regular season scoring leader and superstar: Cristoforo Roccamontepiano against sophomore and still junior member of the citadelles: Shiny Rainbow. Both of them just need to find a way to let their teammates suffer without food ,fire or a bed. Because both of them don't need a fire or a bed and have the baility to feed themselves out there forever.

Option 2:
Rence Sykut puts a lot of focus in the off season on getting his body rested and recovered for the next season. While strength and conditioning in between seasons is important, Rence feels that the crucial thing is to let your body heal and from the grueling grind of a typical SHL season. This entails many massage and ice bath treatments as well as many sessions in the sauna which is popular in his home country of Latvia. Once his body starts to feel back to normal, he begins light workouts and daily skating to prepare for training camp. About 3 weeks leading up to the season, Rence kicks it up to high gear with two a day strenuous workouts with an on ice skills session in between those workouts with his skills coach. By the time the season rolls around, Rence is a well rested, well oiled machine ready to take it to the SHL competition for another season. 160 words

If we played Survivor as a team, I have confidence that we would perform well. We have a well diversed team that can perform when needed. I'm not sure how well Louis Belanger would perform. His main problem being a rookie, he doesn't have the same experience, the mental toughness that could help a lot in being a competitive force in this competition. I would still do my best to make sure I learn and get experience, but how good ultimately am I in the wilderness? Not amazing even though I have done some camping multiple times. The task that I would perform well is hopefully supporting the rest of my team and trying to help those that are maybe have a bit of a harder time. I think this would be the ideal approach and would help the team win. Survivor is a competition that would maybe not fit the SHL very well as most people are nerds.
FrenchieCommissioner allegedly doing stuff
Derek Martin has grown into an illustrous and well respected leader around the league, as can be proven by the role he plays for the Los Angeles Panthers, culminating in two cups for the time being. He also has a hidden card. He is good friends with Ottawa Highlanders alumni Demure Bologna (@Kalakar), who is a massive Survivor nerd and got Derek into it prior to the first season of Survivor Québec airing a few years ago. Because of that, he's grown aware of the usual challenges and is mentally very well prepared to face the harsh realities of the castaway lifestyle and his athlete life has prepared him well for the physical nature of the challenges.
Derek would team up with his go-to, Axel Kirby, and the pair would look at recruiting a few more members to strengthen a core alliance that would have all the tools to succeed. THe first obvious choice is Adam Prpich, long-time servant to the panthers and all-time great, and then Elena Maximova, the all-winning defensewoman that has solidified the blue line. The sheer charisma and talent and ability to function as a unit they would have would obviously propel them to the top..... before Derek would backstab everyone to get the dub. ![[Image: image.png]](https://i.ibb.co/X4WGR17/image.png) ![[Image: lap-teamsig.png]](https://i.ibb.co/MgFr5BT/lap-teamsig.png) @"jason kranz" sig elite / @sulovilen elite sig

Option 2:
Strength is very important in the offseason, especially for how old Beck has become. Despite losing his edge offensively and defensively, his level of strength has remained high throughout his career. Sure his passes may not hit the mark every time, but no one will be bullying him or beating him in a scrum. To prepare for this level of excellence, Beck takes his offseason strength training very seriously by sticking to the gym more than is advisable and eating right. With the twilight of his career in full swing, he has focused on trying to squeeze every little bit of skill out of his body before it is retired up on the shelf. For the most part, Beck focuses his training to all parts of the body, not just to arms or legs or core. It's all important and he treats it as such. His opponents will find that out the hard way when they hit him then hit the ice. ![[Image: DqlVneu.png]](https://i.imgur.com/DqlVneu.png) ![[Image: FVlMRDN.png]](https://i.imgur.com/FVlMRDN.png) ![[Image: q30YniK.png]](https://i.imgur.com/q30YniK.png) ![[Image: augr5GV.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/augr5GV.jpeg) Credit to enigmatic, Merica, tweedledunn, and jaypc8237 for sigs |
