Jiggle E Puff was late to the team lunch at Magic City the afternoon before a game this past season and was devastated as he missed the first course of the meal, some expired looking salad with crusty blue cheese dressing. Fortunately he was there in time to have the main course, microwaved chicken tenders and boxed mac and cheese.
At the game that evening, everyone on the team starts to come down with food poisoning like symptoms. The refs give Jiggle E. Puff the opportunity to find some replacement skaters, so Jiggle calls in his pals from the Kanto hockey league! Through the magic of the pokemon PC boxes, they all instantly teleport to the rink and the game can continue! SHL legend Mew Two makes his first appearance in many years, Jiggle's dad Wiggle E. Tuff, and KHL hall of fame goalie Khangis Khan all make appearances to hold onto a tight lead and ensure that Atlanta wins another game! S58 Elias Armia Award Winner

While running late from the team dinner seemed like a curse at that time, not even in her wildest dreams did Sonja think it would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. And well if she wanted to be honest with herself wished this whole situation was a nightmare. After all when the Ref asked her to find replacements she simply looked at him and asked "are you crazy?". Nevertheless she had no other choices. the show had to go on somehow so she had to find a solution. Given the limited time she had she decided to hold a quick audition with the fans of her team to see if anyone could stand in. Luckily she managed to find a half-decent goalie and a half-decent defender. Given how they were leading 6-3 with 10 minutes to go, she focused on the goalie and the defender the most. She then managed to find 3 more people who would fill in the roll of the center and the wingers. Being a two-way forward herself, Sonja decided to stand full time in defence and try to block as many shots as she humanly can. In the end they somehow managed to hold onto a 6-5 lead by the end of the game. She would later invite the fans who played over to her house and cooked them a meal and bought some drinks for them as a 'thanks for helping us out'.

Well, considering it is only one game in a multiple game playoff scenario really there is not that much pressure, I could have stressed about finding a group of really athletic adults who would be able to keep thing going well for us and shutting the other team down. With no time to waste I start off by pulling off a brilliant move from television. Being that we are in Florida, I start by contacting sea world and have them helicopter Duncan the Walrus as fast as possible to fill in as the goal tender. Now that we have a blubber wall that fits snuggly post to post making it impossible to score. The rest of the team is really just a formality, so we decide to fill up the rest of the roster with whichever peewee hockey team attended the game and was showing off their skills as entertainment between the period to promote united states youth hockey development and idea also inspired by television; When the kids of south park hockey team played the detroit red wings.

The atlanta inferno visited a hotdog stand in tampa bay, the home city of the simulation hockey league team named the barracuda. The stand had plenty of hotdog and of course eating hotdogs was a tradition in atlanta so we tought it was a good idea to eat them on the road before our playoffs game. WEll it turned out to be a bad idea because we all got explosive diarhea from eating there! We have been dehydrated for the game 3 and game 4 and it we lost in decisive manner to our opponent. Was it a ploy to get us all sick or should we have known better to not eat hotdogs in this place? Who knows. Howver the next season, the team will only be eating hotdogs made by our gm, @hotdog because his hotdog is always clean and not a poison risk and they taste better because they are made with so much love. We all love hotdog's hotdog. Character Page RD- Quarterback Retired players: -Toki Wartooth -Nathan Explosion btw -Angus McFife XVIII

food poisoning brings the following symptoms: diarrhea, stomach pain, cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever. this diarrhea could last multiple days, and could be bloody. you could be throwing up, unable to keep liquids down. these are not things that are congruent with the fast paced hard hitting sport of hockey. once again, not ideal.
enlightened centrist is from a very athletically gifted nation of fiji. enlightened centrist would immediately go to fiji before the game by plane, making it back in time with the entire fiji rugby 7s squad. this squad is fast, theyre strong, and theyre smart. this squad has won two straight olympic gold medals, and is one of the most decorated hsbc rugby 7s teams in history. this is because they are really good at sports. doing this, the colorado raptors would be saved by the fijians. and as a result of that, fiji would be added to the iihf

I was hoping the second prompt would have been easier but guess that is not gonna happen tonight. Alright.
I presume Sunrise would either consider forfeiting the game due to act of God (so to speak) or really come up with a squad featuring the staff and possibly some replacement players as I imagine the squad would at least have some unknown back-up names for practice. Another option that came to mind was to summon the McCloud gang who used to be around with Yoshimitsu McCloud back in his playing days. I mean, it probably would be cheating but given the state of affairs, might as well cheat. It probably would be wise to investigate who poisoned the food though. Not calling names but I do hear some people like to gamble a lot. Maybe some names might want to show up and save the authorities the effort. Hint hint, just saying. Player Page - Update Page Former Players: Yoshimitsu McCloud (LW, #64) - Won a Four Star Cup once, knew ninjutsu, picture editors hated him, never tried free agency Anton Harrier (LW, #90) - Won WJC gold, liked skateboarding a lot, went to the finals with Manhattan, kept his seat glued in LR

Simmer ask me about my love for steamed hotdogs
If I was the only player who was available to try and recruit an entire team. I would first try to seek out staff in the building. As they have communication available throughout we would have the luxury of quickly addressing people. The biggest struggle would probably be find a goaltender. If I was unable to locate one from the staff. It would then become an announcement over the PA system. Goaltender needed, any help welcome. We only need to survive ten minutes, then we would be looking at the strongest defensive options available. Limit their shots on goalie, and keep the front of the net clear. Just let all the players who come to our aid know, there is no pressure and zero expectations for them. The other problem is going to be the mountain of paperwork for signing all these players to a single game. Win or lose we would just be thankful to our fans, and loyal staff that is able to come to our aid.

What does Lewis Holl do? Oh you know for sure he hits up the local beer leagues. If the ebug isn’t sick he’s call him for the goalie though. That’s one of the most important parts right there so if the ebug didn’t eat with the team you know for a fact they are healthy. Holl being a defenseman just means that there is more defense there. So he would head to the local rinks and collect as many of the offensive players as possible. If you’re in a place where the local minor team is close by you might be able to call up a few of those guys to get some extra help but that only works if your local minor league team is nearby. You might be able to pick up a few from there. After that maybe start calling up some local actors you know like in letterkenny they can all skate so they could be close by and available to play!

Baltimore saw themselves go from a just over .500 season in S80, going 32-30-4, and last in the division, to 37-26-3, good enough for a 9 point improvement, 3rd in the division, and a shot at the Challenge Cup. Part of the jump from 12th to 9th in the league was natural prospect development. Baltimore has stayed relatively mediocre ever since their S76 finish atop the league, with management going for a "retool" rather than a full on conventional rebuild. S80 did see a bit of a downturn for the Platoon, as they dropped to 12th in the league after back to back 9th place finishes. Some bad luck probably can be blamed there, but the signing of Journey Man in S81 surely helped bring a spark back to the team, and hopefully helped as a stopgap as the team continues to develop talent and make the climb back to the top of the league. With new management coming in, it will be interesting to see if the team continues on its retool strategy, or pivots to a full blown rebuild.

Thank you for identifying the Atlanta Inferno as a hot new team to watch out for in your prompt, it is very well deserved. The hotlanta inferno are just now reaching their window of opportunity and are expected to continue getting better for the foreseeable future (because careers in the SHL last forever). The atlanta inferno have many very good veteran players with lots of experience and also several very good youngish players that show a lot of promise and they are also all getting better each season. I fully expect that in the future the atlanta inferno will win the cup at least once, but it could also be many times as they have a very good group of players that will keep getting better for awhile. When they stop getting better they will just maintain for awhile. They also have very good coaches that have been around for a long time and they know the best tactics to use to help the Inferno win the cup.
