Of all the people on the hockey world, a slow, short, fat, terrible bottom pairing defenseman would probably be the last person a film company would pick to be an advisor on a hockey film, but I guess we can suspend disbelief for a second. I know that everything Ongo Gablogian would suggest or critique would immediately be met with doubt and questions, because I mean look at the guy. 4’8” and 300 pounds and he’s a professional hockey player? He would probably be a lot more interested in the food spread in set than he would on actually making sure this hockey movie was authentic. It would be filled with all sorts of continuity errors and stuff because he would be too busy stuffing his face to even notice any issues while they were filming. Then he would just say “yeah yeah it’s good. Where’s my check?” If they asked him for any input.

Prompt 2
The final game for Djoe anderson was an insanity that no one has surely ever performed in the league up until this moment, the shock and awe that happened will be remembered 150 years into the future, the insanity of him pulling out pocketfulls of .. you guess it, hamburger helper, and simply shoveling it into the opponents mouths was simply uncalled for, barbaric, and most of all repugnant. It was such a display of unsportsmanlike conduct in the league that even the announcers were basically throwing up, no one had experienced something quite so foul and rough. the fact that he waited until the 3rd period with 1 minute left to do this was astounding to everyone that saw it, as they were down 5 goals leading up to that moment. they had to call in multiple subs as there was so much vomiting and humiliation that anyone that had the hamburger helper shoveled into their mouths was written off as INJURED. ~162 words

Option 1: Nor was happy to know that he got brought up when it was the time to choose an SHL player to help with a film project. Since he is a SHL rookie, Nor didn’t expect to receive a big compensation for this project and he was fine with it. However, things didn’t go as planned because of how limited the budget for the hockey scenes was. Since they couldn’t rent enough hockey equipment to dress 10 players and two goalies, Nor had to figure out a way to do hockey scenes with only a few actors. He told the director that they could work something out with only three players and a goalie and use camera angle that would make it seem like there could be more players on the ice. When it came to his scene in the movie, Nor didn’t want to be in the hockey scenes to try something different. He ended up playing the role of a waiter in a restaurant where the main character goes to eat lunch.

Boots is invited as an advisor while filming is taking place in Texas for a movie which has a scene in a hockey rink. They wanted a couple action shots on ice while the main actors were watching the game from the stands. They also wanted a stray puck to fly out and hit one of the actors in the jaw. It happens. They wanted Boots to be the one firing the puck with a slap shot gone wild. That shot was done fairly easily. They just got a shot of Boots winding up and shooting the puck. They added a shot of the puck deflecting off of the crossbar behind the goalie which then flies off into the stands and into the face of the actor playing one of the main roles. The puck of course is replaced with a black sponge puck shaped object. The actor suggested using a real puck get thrown at him but Boots advised strongly against it unless he wanted to lose a couple teeth.

A villian Origin story.
It will surround the Chicago Blackhawks and their ability to both ignore the SA happening on their team but then going out of their way to bury it. The film will have Mikkel on as an advisor for locker room culture back in the 2000's and the still heavy Bro elements that were present there (and likely still are). It makes the perfect film because you will see the 'good guy' blackhawks win the cup and celebrate as the John Does suffer from their afflictions and are bullied inside the team. The villian gets to continue their journey and it culminates with the team winning the 1st overall pick and suffering no real repercussions for their actions except to continue being given winter classic appearances while the titular character suffers silently in the back ground - having their 15 minutes of 'fame' just for the team to continue enjoying the luxury of the hockey life supported by all its fans. My Players cameo will be a reporter asking questions at the Blackhawk press conference just to be shut down by the owner for focusing on the 'negative' so much.

This is the perfect scenario for a high profile player in LA. Rather than a hockey movie, I imagine a movie that has hockey in it, but isn't about hockey. Maybe the main character happens to be an aspiring or current professional hockey player, but is more of a personal story. Or the star is just a big fan of the LA Panthers and somehow ends up meeting the team at the perfect moment for them to impart some wisdom or offer some perspective.
Like a lot of athletes, Prpich would be a pretty bad actor. He would come off as stiff and inauthentic even when playing himself. I think he'd be extremely nervous and want to do well with any speaking part he might have, so he would overthink it and overprepare. Ultimately, he'd spend the vast majority of his screen time on the ice, the appear briefly to deliver a standard expository line to the movie lead, or maybe a tongue in cheek reference to something hockey related like game 7, a fight, or getting drafted.

My movie would be an action comedy on the life of many players on New England. Louis, my player would show up to play a major role as the annoying 3rd center on the team. You'd have @HillsHaveHats who just can't buy a goal. You'd have @Count Chocula who's that little annoying guy walking around while we all wonder how he became captain. @luke would spend half the time screaming wondering why the team isn't winning and going crazy in his office. @Troy_McClure03 would be the funny dude getting his face demolished every game by the opponent, but would always get up with a big grim on his face rambling about whats going on around the league. @G2019 the goalie in net who can't stop a puck. @Bruins10 would be one of the offensive stars of the team but you'd never see him in the LR, so nobody really knew him cause he wouldnt really talk.

Cale working on a movie about hockey would be an ultimate goal for him! Watching all the movies as a kid such as the Mighty Ducks are part of the reasons he wanted to play hockey growing up. Being invited to be part of the movie to ensure realism in it is also a big bonus for him. Lets be honest looking back those movies are horrible for the actual game of hockey and they really don’t resemble much of what actually happens on the ice. People and kids today are smarter then that and maybe not every detail but ensuring there is a real aspect to how the game is played and the people scoring is a huge part of what he would try to accomplish. Sure we can add all the fun and creative stuff like scoring the Michigan or some incredible hard slap shots but he is really there to ensure we don’t have goalies coming down the ice to take knuckle puck shots of have cowboys pull out some rope and lasso players. Cale would make his cameo handing out the trophy to the winning team at the end! WC:193

Option 1: Dionicio isn’t one to shy away from trying to make hockey a better sport in any way possible. The movie’s script as presented to Dionicio had some hockey in it but there was no depth to it and instead, the focus is on off-ice romance, it’s a rom-com. The role as an advisor and hockey player will be to try and make the hockey aspects at least fit the realities of being an athlete and being a true rendition of the game. Some of the actual hockey scenes were utterly ridiculous with hand passes, missed penalties, and constant fighting. It was how someone who has heard of hockey but never watched probably imagines hockey to be played. Dionicio spends some time changing the hockey scenes to better-fit hockey but tries to maintain the rivalry and intensity that the story is looking for to progress the scenes. It was a fun role to try and fit real hockey yet not change the underlying intent of the scenes. Management was mostly happy with the changes but they did dismiss some of the changes which still made the end product a bit far-fetched for hockey. Dionicio’s cameo became that of the linesman in a few scenes calling off-sides and dropping the puck, a simple cameo yet close enough that anybody could recognize him if they saw him.

Calling on Spaceman Spiff to be the hockey expert in a movie is a strange choice but it makes much more sense when the agent says it's for a sci-fi sports epic set in space. "It's like The Mighty Ducks, the second one, meets Guardians of the Galaxy" this agent says and that checks out when he arrives to the set to find Chris Pratt filming his 8th movie of the month. Along with Pratt are a motion capture team and few C list actors Spiff had never heard of. The plot revolves around Pratt and his hockey team of misfits playing in The Galaxy Goodwill Games against a handful of extraterrestrial empires in an attempt to avoid galactic war. It's a flimsy plot but with enough humor and heart to prop it up. Spiff does his best to make it as accurate as possible but gives it leeway when his minor villain role of Paceman Puff scores a goal on a shot fired from his raygun.
