If all of the Detroit locker had food poison I as the general manager would look to the local Detroit hockey leagues for the best people I could find. Detroit has a good amount of youth leagues with players who are 18-24 and they would be able to hold onto our 6-3 lead. It would also help to serve as a recruiting point for Detroit. Our scouts already partner with the local leagues so this would deepen the bond and give some players a chance to play in a semi pro junior league. In fact some of the players I would pull are already on our reserve list. Detroit would also look for local SMJHL free agents that are local to Detroit. If needed to fill in the gaps everyone who Detroit hires knows or learns how to skate as part of their safety training since they will be in, on, and around the ice. In 1 hour we could easily get 20 prospects and that is without even asking our loyal fan base to jump on the ice which all of them would love to have the chance to skate for us.

Written option 2:

When looking back at this season there were a couple surprises of teams that had a massive rise in the standings Seattle and Manhattan stick out the most. As I am more familiar with my conference rival Manhattan it shouldn’t come to that much of a surprise that they jumped up in the standings as much as they had. They have been building for a while and possess some pretty great core players that have helped define what the team is this season. The hindrance comes from being in one of the toughest divisions in the league. With no team in the division rebuilding they had it tough to get into the compete mode. This season marked one that they would get the better of most the teams and propel themselves to be a top contender in the league. Though they had a tough first round matchup with Tampa the division rival it shouldn’t put a damper on the success they had this season and the team future that has looking very good!

Option 2

So as far as Maine we were expecting to drop off. We lost some key players as they got called up which we are happy for them. No doubt about that, but it left sort of an open ended conversation about what is to be expected this season.

We ended last season as the 4th best team in the SMJHL, and we ended this season as the 5th best team. So in the end while it was expected. It wasn’t as big of a drop off as I expected. A few key players stepped up including the likes of Anthony Louchard, Scott Fortune, Darby Reznor, Ty Justice, among others like Jayson Flemmings, and while overall it wasn’t exactly some legendary season. Our players stuck with it for the long haul. We are in the second round of playoffs in a tied series right now and ultimately it’s looking really really good for us right now and that’s what we want is to just be improved from season to season.

The Seattle Argonauts went from having a losing record for five seasons straight to being the second in the Pacific Division - which was a tough division this year, as their 85 points would have put them atop the standings in the Central and the Northeast division. This huge change was mainly due to the team's crop of top tier prospects continuing to mature, with the top six breaking over 1600 TPE in most cases and yet to face regression. Hopefully this upward trajectory can be continued with the team continuing to grow and get better. Unfortunately the regular season success did not carry over to the playoffs, with this relatively green team falling 4-1 in the post season to the Calgary Dragons. The Seattle Argonauts hope to grow and gain more post season experience in the next seasons, so that they could repeat the glory days of the late S60s where they managed to win the cup back to back!

Oh man! Only one hour to save the game for the Detroit Falcons. Step one is very simple: go outside and caw into the wind! Fellow falcons are sure to respond to the signal and come hither! The next part is a little trickier, as I'll have approximately forty five minutes left to train twenty falcons in the art of ice hockey. I'll set up some drills outside where they can practice their stick handling and shooing ability. Even trickier still will be securing twenty pairs of little tiny ice skates that have room for three very sharp claws to fit inside. While this seems like it will be an impossible feat, rest be assured that it probably is an impossible feat. That being said, impossibility is my middle name (figuratively speaking) and once you become a Falcon, you realize that this is truly the only way. Even if we lose the game, we will still have won in our hearts.

Quote:Written Option 1: It is the home game day during the first round of playoffs and the whole team eats lunch together, yet your player runs late and misses the appetizer. Which happens to turn into your favor as the rest of the team gets symptoms of food poisoning half way through the third period. While the rest of the team is locked into the locker room; the refs give you, the only one still standing, an hour to find enough replacement players to finish the game. How does your player handle the situation? Is it time to call the closest beer league team and hope they can make it in time? Maybe run quick trial to find most capable fans? Or do you give spotlight to the staff, surely the Zamboni driver and equipment manager can do it? What kind of team your player manages to get together and can they hold onto the 6-3 lead for 10 minutes?

My player, Jae-ik Barron, handles the situation by going and finding the fittest people on the street and handing them a hockey stick. If the person can hold it without it looking like a bomb, they are on the team. Bonus if they have prior experience playing ice hockey at any level.
For the goalie, I go to the Zamboni driver, who surely could beat a national hockey league team based in Ontario. I would ask the starter or backup to borrow their equipment because chances are the Zamboni driver doesn’t take his to the rink every time he has to work.
The team my player gets together is one with a lot of spirit, a lot of gumption, a lot of derring do. They take to the ice with a 6-3 lead and wind up losing the game 24-3 after the ten minutes are up. Jae-ik Barron shakes his head, thanks them all for their service, and signs a few autographs. He then works on litigation against the arena’s kitchen staff.

One of the most impressive jumps up the standings this season has been the Manhattan Rage, rising from a dismal 16th place finish in S79 on a 53 point season to a 7th place tie this season with 80 points. Making it more impressive is the fact that they play in the league's most competitive division in the Atlantic. To those who've watched the Rage for a while though, this jump is no surprise, even if they slightly outperformed their TPE, where they rank 12th in the league. Manhattan has been in a rebuild seemingly since their back to back cup final appearances in S87/68, and they haven't seen the second round of the playoffs since. With a new core of players led by the likes of Jaromir Jagrbomb, Betzee Nickelback and Celeste Desjardins finally reaching their prime, the Rage are primed to enter a competitive window for the first time in over a sim decade. They still have some notable gaps, and should be looking to aggressively add top players this offseason to finally push deep into the playoffs.

Writing Prompt 1

They call themselves the X-Fans, named for James Howlett's iconic number 10. To call these people devoted would be doing them a disservice, they are rabid about James. A couple of them have even followed his career from his time under Ogun's coaching, and most of them know his record on the Grizzlies by heart. Some have even called them inhuman, but that's just cruel. They love James and his no-nonsense attitude, his ballsy plays, and his stocky build. On the night of the food poisoning, they're seated at their normal spot in Calgary's stadium, affectionately named "The Den" with how the fans sometimes behave like wild animals. James hates having to call on them for help, but when all of the cards are on the table, there's no other non-hockey players he'd rather have with him on the ice.

"I'm only gonna say this once, bubs, so enjoy it: To me, my X-Fans!"

Ongo Gablogian may as well give himself food poisoning and forfeit the game for the Wolfpack if it is going to come to him having to assemble a team of misfits that is good enough to win a playoff game. But Ongo has a steel gut from all the Taco Bell he is constantly eating, so he would never be able to get food poisoning, which brings us back full circle to the beginning. Ongo doesn’t really have any friends, besides the guys he hangs out with under the bridge. They don’t know how to skate though. Ongo would probably do the logical thing and appeal to the management to call up all the prospects and hope they are ready to play SHL level hockey. (Spoiler alert: they’re probably all already better than Ongo). If that didn’t work, I guess he would be stuck combing the crowd to find anyone who at least knew how to skate. I’m guessing in Boston it wouldn’t be that difficult to find some.

Written Option 1: Walbilly Koala barely misses the appetizer (he probably got caught up watching a show). But what seems to be bad luck for him is even worse luck for his teammates, as they all get sick. To save the day, Walbilly Koala calls upon the cast of “Apex Predator,” a reality TV show with a cast comprised of awakened animals (like Walbilly). He tells the producers that it can function as a challenge- whoever underperforms, as their teammates decide, gets voted out of the competition. The show's producers have reached out to Walbilly before to compete, but he could only occasionally guest star because of his successful hockey career. With the combined efforts of Walbilly and the reality TV contestants, they hold onto the lead by a hair. Unfortunately, the German Shephard, Herman Wisemen is evicted from the show after he gets too excited and picks up the puck with his mouth. (151 Words)
