I went through several scenarios in my head for my answer to this prompt, and I was tempted to go with something that was showy but of little substance; a description fitting for Adam’s S56 season.

In the end I’ve landed on a more positive idea: a cheap pranking company. When I imagine what kind of person my player is, goofy comes to mind. Someone who’s willing to take things lightly and less seriously. Underperforming? Whatever, life’s short, it’s just a game, just have fun. Celebrate with fireworks that have duds for every second explosion. Maybe he’d come out with his own brand of board games or party games, intended for friends to just have fun and play.

I’d like to think he’d excel in commercials. Maybe one showcases Adam and some teammates playing a cards of humanity style card game. They laugh and have a good time, and at the end there’s a clip of him saying “I’m Adam Barron and I endorse ‘Adam’s Apples’” or whatever. Naturally, he’d get a cut of the profit. Maybe that would be a lucrative line of work, or maybe the brand just flops and he goes back to focusing on playing mediocre hockey. But that wouldn’t matter, because in the end, for Adam Barron, it’s all about the fun you had along the way.
