Alternate reality, why are we talking about an alternate reality? I am an low key, super hero right here and right now. It says I am doing my job in staying incognito that none of you have actually caught on. By day I am mild mannered Gordon McFisherman, but when i step on the ice I transform into Best Defensive Forward of the year! That is right I help protect that down trodden goalie that doesn’t get enough love and everyone on the other team is trying to put under fire. I use my trusty tools of the hero trade; swerve the stick, speedy skates, and my most important hero tool my invisible Cloak of the Sea. I use this as a last resort, if a puck is coming too close I shrug my shoulders and o e of my fishy friends zip out faster than the eye can see and deflects the puck away. I can’t use these powers too often or people will suspect.
So, when you are voting for best defensive forward or two way forward, remember the named Gordon McFisherman. Code: 176 words ![]() SHL GM SHL GM
Written Task, Option 1
In a world where crime rules the streets, where climate change has bathed the world in a second Ice Age, a hero emerges from the freezing mists of Neo Montreal. The fortress arcology of the super rich houses the global elite, while the poor are left to fend for themselves in the icy wasteland. In the shadow of this massive monument to greed, life is a battle for survival against roving gangs of Habitants - scavenger and hunter tribes, nomads riding sabertooth Tigers, dwelling in massive yurts perched atop Mammoth-mounted howdahs. Tabernac! Call his name and you may be saved! With his twin ice-axe hockey sticks, he patrols the Iceways on skates, his snow-caked body Armour and terrifying mask his calling cards. Battling nomad tribes, mutants, Beasts of the ice age, and the inherent flaws and foibles of mankind's deepest iniquities, Tabernac is not the hero we need, but he's the only one we've got! Think you're tough? How about a 100MPH snapshot to the Sensitive Areas? Think you're strong? Imagine growing up in the Death Hockey Arenas, fed a diet of steroid-laced Grow Juice from birth to become the greatest Hockey Warrior. Ok lowkey this was a bit but I'm getting invested. ![]() ![]() SHL GM SHL GM
I hate these kind of prompts if I am being honest, not because I'm not creative but superheroes and superpowers just have never been something I have ever enjoyed or been interested in. Hell, I have never seen any superhero movie with the exception of TMNT because the turtles are awesome, fucking fight me. Anyway, if I had to pick a superpower for my superhero player it would be the ability to see through time, similar to how Madden 09 had that ability to rewind time, I could do that as a player. That way I would always be ahead of the curve and could change history to make Buffalo win games and eventually a championship. As far as a player superhero name, I have no idea what to do here. I think Super Stampeder sounds good but it also sounds like a name for like a group of heroes rather than just one person.

I think there are a lot of attributes that makes someone a hero both on and off the ice. Of course performance during a game will normally have someone labelled as a hero, but I also believe that it depends on the flow of the game itself. For example, if your team is down a few goals and that player single-handedly starts the comeback... then that is worthy of the title "hero". Defenders can also play a hero role in a game if your team is in the lead and they block one - or several - shots during the closing moments of a game. I don't think my player is necessarily a hero in that sense; his statistics are well but hasn't done any highlight-reel worthy hero moments. Personally I'm looking at our goaltending tandem as the heroes for our team, leading the league with 5 shutouts between them and stealing wins for us when we had no business taking the game.

For me the hero, or maybe the unsung hero, in hockey is most often the goalie. Even when they don't do any flashy saves or when the team wins by 6 goals. The reasoning is that goalies have such a significant role in every game. For any other player, the difference between a good day and bad day rarely really makes the difference between a win and a loss. For a goalie, a bad day very often means a loss, and a shutout always means a win. But even when the goalie doesn't need to do much, the rest of the team gets a hue confidence boost if they have a solid, trustful goalie. It means that they don't need to be afraid of making plays and they don't need to overthink their decisions, because in their spine they have the trust that even if they mess up, the goalie will bail them out. So yeah, the best goalies are the heros of every single game, because their skills and presence help the team even in the nights where they don't need to save that much. ![]() Registered Senior Member
Meet The Crosscheck, a hockey-loving superhero from a different universe where Ethan Cross uses his incredible hockey skills, along with his superhuman agility and strength, to fight crime.
His superpowers include:
During an intense SHL championship match, The Crosscheck goes head-to-head with The Rinkmaster on the ice. The Rinkmaster makes the surface so slick that The Crosscheck has difficulty keeping his balance. As the crowd goes wild, Slapshot jumps into action, firing super-fast pucks at Ethan. With his ice-bending skills, The Crosscheck builds an ice wall to block the pucks and ensnares the bad guys in a giant ice net. They may have won this round, but The Crosscheck knows it’s only a matter of time before the villains return to take over the rink again. ![]() Trading Card Team Posting Freak ![]() ACP Access binko

bingankus glunksplosion in this alternate and or alternative time line which happens in parallel to the one in which we live is a super hero apparently! this is news to both me and him! and in this alternate time line bingankus also known as bingo is known to the world by his super hero alias binkangus glunksplosion! what a misdirection! a little spelling mix up and he becomes unrecognizable by the general public! like the simulation hockey league's version of glasses and uncombed hair! he still plays simulated hockey for the atlanta inferno in the simulation hockey league and the only person who is able to tell that he is the same person as bingankus is his general manager @hotdog because he is really good with swapping letters around and he noticed it! binkangus's super hero power in that universe is that he is able to swap the letters in other peoples' names around when ever he wants and cause chaos and confusion! one time he swapped the letters of HAM (meat) around @Gordon Bombay and it became MAH (meat) instead! per haps he thought it was funny because of how the NHL is the LNH in french. any way he let his friend @5ympathies know about his secret identity too! ![]() Registered Senior Member
Written option 2:
I consider a hero as a person who can lead a team off/on the ice, who can rally a team/locker room together and someone who can handle the tough situations and get through it. I consider my teammates waters blues and Jason as heroes because the incident that happened earlier this season for Minnesota could have easily divide the locker room but those three ralied the team back together and now we are back on track to build our team of the future, while almost losing nobody. Even though they are in juniors I see raf nox and LGRW as heroes on the Vancouver Whalers because 3 seasons ago it was only them and a few other players and they rallied on each other and as new players come in they welcome them with open arms and now Vancouver is competing for a four star cup now after 3 seasons ago only getting 10 wins. ![]() ![]() Registered Broke
Here we are at the super hero hockey league with all the superheroes. In this league we have a bunch of superheroes but they are all playing under their alternative personas. First we have Tom O'Donnell, other wise known as the Gunk. The Gunk is able to perform activities of gunk and do some crazy stuff with it. Gunk is kind of like just some stuff not necessarilly anything specific. so he can do gunk kind of stuff, maybe some water, maybe some assorted sludge, and he can use that to make stuff on the go and throw it at people or whatever. So like he can make a ball of gunk then drop it on villains or the other team if things are going poorly. he also can use gunk to score goals and throw gunk at the goalie then shoot right past him becuase the goalie can not see through the gunk.

A hockey themed superhero? Dah dah dah! NoNo Jo! I feel like his name could be exactly the same because it is already a kick butt take names save the world name. Hockey themed superpowers include shooting pucks out of his wrists a la spider man’s webs. NoNo Jo actually destroyed all super villains yesterday so unfortunately or fortunately there are no super villains to be his arch nemesis. He’s just THAT good. NoNo Jo does have one change and that is now his hockey uniform is SKIN TIGHT showing off each and every muscle like the superheroes like to do. But he’s more realistically proportioned than some of these cartoons you see with a mile wide shoulders and a tiny waist. NoNo is also a hero when it comes to body image! He embraces the slight layer of fluff over his rippling abs and even sizes up when he gains a bit of weight! Hip Hip Hooray! He also intuitively eats! A hero if I have ever seen one.

Written option 2
A hero in sports is often described as someone who rises to the occasion when the pressure is at its highest. It could be the player who scores the game winning goal, ties it up when hope is fading, or lays out for a game saving defensive play. But sometimes, the biggest heroes are the ones standing tall between the pipes, like Claude, our goalie. Claude is more than just the last line of defense; he is the backbone of our team. He comes up with clutch saves when the game is on the line, the kind that makes the crowd gasp and the bench erupt. But Claude’s impact goes far beyond the ice. In the locker room, he is a calm voice when things get chaotic, a motivator when energy dips, and a leader who brings everyone together. He trains relentlessly, studies shooters, and never makes it about himself. Whether he is robbing a breakaway or boosting a teammate’s confidence, Claude is our hero, not just for what he does during the game, but for who he is every day. ![]() Registered Senior Member ![]() IIHF Federation Head IIHF GM

My name is The Accessory to the Crime. My specialty is that whenever anybody around town commits a crime I will always be there to help them just a little bit, maybe be the get away driver, maybe break the security cameras, you know how it goes. Sometimes I do it in a way that actually hurts the crime-doer though so I am actually doing good if you think about it. Like this one time this guy did a hit and run, and to help him out I wanted him to do a 2nd hit and run to throw the cops off the scent of the first one so I T-boned him at a traffic light but he wasn't able to get away cause the car crashed. Poor guy. Going back to hockey though I also always go into the penalty box with whoever took the penalty just to keep them company cause it gets lonely in there sometimes you know what I mean? ![]() Registered Posting Freak
Written 1:
Shadow Fenix being a superhero would make it difficult to play in the SHL. Of course, he would still do it if the referees allowed him to. He would probably use his Protoss bloodline to just do feats that most humans would deem super like jumping high or warping in and out. I also don't know for sure, but I think Zealots have some kind of super strength. Although now that I write about it, I am remembering that they have kinda scrawny arms. So they might actually be pretty weak. But maybe that's what Shadow Fenix's superpower would be, super strength. So of course with super strength he would be breaking sticks, but his shot would be gnarly. Just 1 shot that goes through the goalie. Er, it would go through his five hole. There would not be any supervillains because an anti-super strength villain is one of the lamest things fiction could ever come up with. |
