With the Colorado Raptors getting bounced in the SMJHL playoffs early, Marineau was lucky enough to travel to the Monarchs facilities to get accustomed to the team before his awaited call-up for next season. He was a part of the end-of-season meeting that unfolded with the team and management after the Monarchs finished dead last in the SHL last season. There were a lot of tough conversations to be had with expansion looming, with tough decisions that needed to be made. Marineau, with this going to be his first season in the SHL, has no idea what to expect about the Monarchs and the landscape of the league. The only thing he can control is what he does in the off-season to impress management. Marineau rented out the local rink in his hometown and locked himself there for an entire month. He brought a mattress with him and some of his valuables and slept in the locker room so he could practice all day, every day. He also sleeps with the puck so he can practice keeping it during the games, a guru told him this would get into his subconscious so all Marineau can think about is the puck.
Even if it's just a preseason game, I don't think I could throw a game. The need for competition and to be the best shows throws all season long, whether that's regular, post or pre seasons. Hopefully this was a prank call, and nothing would come of it., But I like to think that Passarelli would go through the proper channels to have this resolved. 1) go to the head coach and if need be the front office first and make sure that every thing is taken care of. 2) I'd probably think they would attempt top tell the team as whole., Largely to see if anyone else got a similar call or anything else strange, cause then you can start to maybe believe that it's a prank instead of something serious. I think the biggest thing to come out of this, and as stated at the beginning, Passarelli would play the game as normal. He's never thrown a game, and he's not about to start now.
As I'm dressing for our first preseason game of the season, I can hear my phone vibrating in my bag. I quickly grab it and see and unknown number and I confusedly answer the call
Kimar: Uhm Hello? Who is this? What's up?
Caller: Listen here buddy. You NEED to lose this game 6-5 in overtime OR ELSE
Kimar: Or else what? What are you gonna do?!? Break my kneecaps? OH GOD IS THIS THE ITALIAN MOB OH GOD
Caller: W-What?! N-No im not gonna break your kneecaps! I-I *sigh* I have your grandma's cat hostage ok? Lose or your grandma NEVER sees the cat again...
Kimar: Wait huh? Uhm which grandma? My moms side or my dads side?
Caller: Uhm...your mom's side?
Kimar:...
Caller:...
Kimar: Wow.
Caller: W-what? What do you mean wow??
Kimar: My grandma's dead douchebag
Caller: I-I-I MEANT THE ONE ON YOUR DADS SIDE!
Kimar: I dont talk to her anyways i dont care what you do to her cat.
Caller: B-b-but.
Kimar:....Bye
I ended the call and went on with my day unbothered.

With Jennifer knowing expansion is coming up and knowing that this is likely the last season for Calgary to truly compete for the cup, Jennifer is ready to go all out to be her best and bring the cup to Calgary. She fully commits this offseason to being the best Dragon she can be, spending more time at the rink than she ever has. She’s also encouraging the other Calgary players to join her at the rink and build chemistry before this last run. With the team not knowing who will be exposed for expansion, and who will still be on the team next season, there’s a lot of nerves and uncertainty among the Dragons. Will it be helpful for the start of the season? That remains to be seen, but the hope for the Dragons is that the more they practice together as a team, the more in sync they will be on the ice, and for this last ride, that may be enough.

Written Option 1: About 15 minutes before the start of the first pre-season game your player gets a call. Muffled voice tells them that your team needs to lose this first game 6-5 in the OT or your player’s grandma wont see their cat ever again. They tell that the cat will be gone along the dog of cousin of opposing team’s goalie if either of you tell anyone or make anything appear to be off. The call ends. Are they willing to throw a preseason game just to be safe? Do they inform police or rest of the team? It was clearly a prank, or was it, are they willing to risk it? What does your player do?
Alexandros is not someone who appreciates blackmail and does not wish to go along with it. His first order of business would be to waltz right over to the opposing team locker, walk right in and ask the goalie where their cousin lives. With information in hand Alexandros would rush out of the arena to his grandma’s place to secure her cat, then make my way over to the goalie’s cousins place to secure their dog and then stand guard over both of them. with both safe I would call my team and ask them to tell the other goalie to play their heart out in safety. With all the important things down and the game hopefully not thrown I would then call the police and work with them to catch the culprit, no one threatens his grandmother’s cat! It is unfortunate that he would not be able to play in the game but he is certain his team would understand and the other team’s goalie would appreciate the effort.
Written Option 1:
First of all, I wouldn't pick up the phone while waiting in the tunnel to go out on the ice. Even if I was in the locker room, I wouldn't pick up the phone, because I keep it on silent in public places. But even if my phone had the ringer on, I wouldn't pick up a call from an unknown number, because I don't have time for that right now. But assuming I got such a call and answered it, of course I would know it was a scam, because both of my grandmothers are dead. However, if either of them were alive, neither of them had a cat. But assuming that either of them did have a cat, I would ignore the call because I'm not a cat person, and besides, they live far from where I live, so it's more of a plan than a plan. But assuming that someone's dog was in danger, then... what was the question?

Written Option 2: At the end of the last season coach made a moving speech about the upcoming season that will be the last one before the expansion draft will break up the current group. So during their offseason training and training camp, what unusual methods does your player use to be the most hockey player that ever hockeyed? Wearing their gear all the time, expect maybe skates? Or maybe the other way around, rent a local rink and bring their furniture there so they can spend their summer with skates on? Learn to literally chew the puck? How much different it is compared to their earlier training? Or do they still keep it bit more grounded and take an extra jog here and there? And when season starts, does any of it actually help your player or the team?
Sadly, we've already broken up the band and moved on to our new landing spots. It was a wild ride though and I wouldn't change a thing. I'll word this as if the San Francisco Pride decided to run it back in an attempt to 4peat. Oskar lives and breathes hockey. He's on the back nine of his career and has shared many wonderful moments with his teammates over the course of his time with San Francisco. In order to squeeze every last ounce of his time with this group before they split he built a small apartment in the bowels of the San Francisco training facility so he doesn't need to waste time driving to and from the arena. Oskar has a huge case of FOMO so by literally living in the building he's sure to be there for every last moment. Hopefully by the time the janitor finds out training camp will already be over.
After the crushing disappointment of losing in the Challenge Cup Finals, it's hard to wrap your brain around anything else. Then comes the news that the league is expanding and, in the process, the team is going to be broken apart in the expansion draft. Management brought us all together to let us know that this season is the last with this specific group.
We were already coming into this season with a bitter taste in our mouth, now we're playing with a dark cloud above our heads. We're driven to avenge our Finals loss, but now we want to do it with this group who will never be together again. The off-season training is going to hit the highest of gears. I started my on-ice training 3 weeks early, along with many of my teammates. We're meeting up for extra coaching and running new drills to work on our game. The defence especially is putting in overtime to solidify our chemistry. This season there's no room for error. We have to be at the top of our game. There is no next season with this group, we have to fulfill our potential now. The extra work starts right now.

This season has been entirely different for Tom Pedersen. For the first time since for ever Tom has not been a part of a training camp. That motivational speech was followed by a you are not needed anymore. Off you go. Tom Pedersen has been training all by himself back home in his native country of Norway trying to get ready for a new season with a new team, but as time goes by the chances for a new team get slimmer and slimmer. Running around like Rocky Balboa hitting ice bears and catching sleepy seals while singing motivational songs. Doing a lot of yoga and watching NHL to get a taste of real hockey for once. And drinking beer. Lots of beer to get the kidney filtration up. Always good the have fresh pinkle in the bucket. Sounds like a country song to be honest. Fresh piiiiinkle in the buuucket by Alan Jackson. Let's ramble and get the new season going. Might retire sooner than later
Boone Breakaway, after hearing coach's rousing speech at the end of the season, kicked into a level of overdrive that he never knew was even possible before. The training wheels of training are off. First and foremost: the classic move of wearing weighted clothes for training. It worked for Goku and Rock Lee, it'll work for Boone. So, laden with extremely heavy gear, Boone takes the ice not on skates but on slippers coated with aircraft-grade lubrication. The slippers are designed to increase agility, reaction time, and control of body and puck. Pushing his body to the limits in these ways are sure to yield drastic results during the upcoming season.
Boone has also been making some drastic improvements to his diet: the addition of four pounds of oven roasted chickpeas daily, for starters. The only change to Boone's beverage routine is the addition of one scoop of protein powder to every serving of liquid that he consumes.
