Luckily for all of us, the S in SHL stands for "Simulation," which means our virtual league can continue unimpeded by global crisis. But let's pretend for a second that a global pandemic was sweeping through the SHL universe as well, the league was suspended, and quarantine and shelter-in-place orders were announced.

Written task (150 words min.): How would your player handle a quarantine-at-home situation? Focus on any aspect you would like, including: what would your player do to fill the time? Would they be feeling lonely, picking up new hobbies, sexting old exes, helping out those in need? Would they be able to stay in game shape for when the season eventually begins?

Graphic task: Show us an image of what your player is doing at home while they're sheltering at home (a new hobby, a home workout, whatever you want).

Note for all: This is a serious situation, so please be respectful in your response. The ability to quarantine at home is a luxury, and one not available to those who are out of work and still forced to pay rent or medical costs, those who are without stable housing or access to affordable medical care in the first place, or those immediately affected by the virus. If you are fortunate enough to be able to safely and comfortably quarantine at home, please consider offering time/money/resources to organizations that are working 24/7 to help out those who are not. (here's a list of examples and here's another list and here's a third list and here's a notable standout and here's another notable standout)

Alternate task: I know many people use the SHL as a distraction from whatever is going on in the real world on a day-to-day basis and I assume this number is drastically higher at a time like this. I chose this prompt to be topical, but if thinking about this situation stresses you out and the last thing you want to do is have to think about it during your SHL time, feel free to instead write 150+ words or make a graphic about your player's offseason training regimen and what your player is doing to get ready and in shape for the S53 season.

THIS PT IS FOR SHL PLAYERS AND SEND DOWNS. IT IS NOT FOR SMJHL ROOKIES.
You will receive 3 capped TPE for fulfilling all requirements.

This PT will close Sunday, March 29th at 11:59pm ET.

Welfare claims from either PBE or NSFL are accepted! (if you’re claiming welfare and have a different username on the affiliate's site then you need to state that in your post to get credit.)

If you have any questions/concerns, please PM me. Tasks with malicious intent will not be graded.

Boris took quarantine as a time to reconnect with his roots. He started growing his garden again, full of potatoes and garlic (all the Slavic essentials). Boris also now had a reason to get drunk every day as it was brought to his attention that alcohol kills the corona virus... Boris also needed some companionship in this lonely isolated time, so he bought himself a heard of goats to help mow the grass and fertilize his new garden. When general manager @hotdog pulled up to Boris' home to inform him the pre season is about to begin and it was time to report to camp, Boris wasn't sure he could give up the new "livin off the land" lifestyle. It did not matter that Boris was under contract, he was ready to retire and be a farmer, until the unthinkable happened. Hotdog challenged Boris to a drinking contest and if he won Boris would have to return to camp. To this day Boris doesn't know how he lost (Hotdog provided his own vodka... Boris was really drunk but maybe Hotdog had a water bottle instead), but it is what it is, time to go win a cup with New England

First ever Yukon Malamute draft pick (1st overall S65)

Steve would of course be very bored while being quarantined. The Hair is quite the social animal, even though most of his friends are little kids. There's nothing weird about that. So it is unusual for him to need to find things to do on his own. He could probably spend a decent chunk of time perfecting his hair every day, but nobody would ever get to see it. So he'd probably just listen to sweet 80s songs and watch sick 80s movies all day. Things like Terminator, Big Trouble in Little China, and Risky Business are all Steve approved classics. Maybe he'd whack a puck around in the garage too if he was really feeling like bringing work home. Steve was always more of a baseball guy growing up you see? Hockey is just what he's good at. But the whole time he would be worried about the health of his scoops troop.
