I'm sticking with the dual prompt thingy for this season. With all of the prompt 1s over the season, I will allow the option to build a season long narrative if you stick with these prompts. Feel free to jump over to prompt 2 any time you don't feel you can continue, or jump over to prompt 1 if it feels fun to write about. Anyways, here we go.

Please pick ONE prompt to write about. Do not mix and match prompts. Identify the prompt you are using in your submission - Copying and pasting the prompt will deduct from your word count so if you do this make sure YOUR submission is 150+ words excluding the prompt.

PROMPT 1- The SHL technological department (this is a thing?) funded by Luke and his 440,000,000 dollars has had a huge breakthrough and is introducing THE GAME, the ability to upload a player's consciousness into a simulation and play out a hockey tournament with these players. It works like a photocopy of your brain, allowing you to live your life inside the simulation while also having a normal life outside of it, as you've been doing your whole life. The SHL has already collected the consciousnesses of a large number of SHLers, past and present, to begin constructing teams for the ultimate all-time SHL legend tournament.

The 4 teams include the Up-and-Comers, players who haven't hit their prime yet but show incredible promise to become future superstars. Then there's the Superstars, elite talent in the SHL who show dominance on the scoresheet night in and night out. The Grizzled Vets are players deep into regression but still solid, with legendary careers and are likely locks for the SHL hall of fame. The Hall-Of-Famers are retired players who once were the tip-top of the SHL and acknowledged by the HOF committee as deserving of one of the highest honors in the sport.

Now for the crazy part: YOU have been selected to take part in this tournament of the best of the best. Yeah, you. So join us on a season long ride where you might just win the honors of being the best SHLer to ever exist.

Written Task: Describe which team you have been placed on. Younger players will be on the Up-and-Comers, players at peak tpe or just in regression will be in the Superstars, players well into regression will be on the Grizzled Vets, and if you have a retired HOF player (as we all do) feel free to write as them on the Hall-of-Famers team. Once you've picked your team: Write about your teammates, pick at least 4 players selected to your team to help build your narrative. Describe your first practice and generally interacting with them. Be creative! This is your story to build on in the coming weeks.

Graphic Task: Create a graphic with yourself and 4 players on your respective SHL THE GAME team, as well as a special skill for each player as to why they were chosen for this tournament. Again, for complete tpe in this task you need a graphic of 5 players including your own, and 1 special skill for each chosen player (5 total)[/b]

PROMPT 2- If you don't understand the previous prompt or that one doesn't sound fun to write about, try this prompt.

Written Task: A new NEVER seen before prompt.... How has your team changed over the offseason? What have they added, lost? How are you feeling about this season? Pumped to try and make a name for yourself and hopefully do some damage in the playoffs? Or numb because you know the cup champion before the season even starts and are just looking forward to some juicy offseason drama in the s62 offseason?

Graphic Task: Create a graphic about any changes on your team, added/subtracted players, who was grown what attributes, anything you like. Include 1 player graphic and 3 text/stat lines.

You will receive 3 TPE for fulfilling all requirements.

All responses are due on Sunday, November 14th at 11:59 CST. NOTE: IF YOU SUBMIT/EDIT AFTER THE DEADLINE YOU WILL RECEIVE REDUCED/NO TPE.

The team that I have been placed upon is the peak players. These is the team that is just now hitting their stride and are reaching top parts of the league. One of the teammates is a team up with Sven Yxskaft. A call back to the four-star cup winning season with the Carolina Kraken, one of the people I have tremendous respect for in the league and carries themselves highly. Paired with Yxskaft we have one of my fellow Norwegian Adam Scianna. Someone who has been core for the Texas Renegades for almost a decade and will be for presumably another decade. Also on the team will be one of my friends and insane powerforward of the league Alexander Roach as well as his peaking S53 teammates Jack Kanoff, Steve harrington and Jaska Seppala. The second pair will be an homage to the annual goal scoring bet between Jukka Timonen and Magnus Liljestrom. In addition to them My fellow linemate Zoltan Topalo will continue to play along side me because we work well together.

Here in the great land of the Kelowna Knights

, we have learned from our previous season by exceeding expectations and making it to the playoffs but eventually falling in the second round. However, this upcoming season our sophomore players have trained extensively hard and have brought in some fresh new faces to liven up our locker rooms to give us that bolt of energy to have a great regular season and perform better in the playoffs (good thing we are in a 3 team division this season). Starting next season is when management believes we will have our cup window, but if we look back to last season many thought we would be a bottom dwelling team and we finished in the middle of the pack. I am super excited to see for this upcoming season and looking to make a deep playoff run and potentially getting revenge on the Colorado Raptors

who swept us in the playoffs last season.

Looking to also give my fellow MTL draft pick Zayne Dangle some love taps when we square off against each other as well.

The Seattle Argonauts have had a fairly productive off-season, picking up a big signing in free agent forward Bobby Sharp. In the Season 62 SHL draft, the Seattle Argonauts acquired two more outstanding prospects to join the cause, adding on Sconnie McHits with the 3rd overall pick and Wendolene Ramsbottoms with the 23rd overall pick, strengthening a very nice farm system of prospects that will really help to give some life to the current core in a few seasons.

As for Vaseline Podcalzone, Season 62 is going to be a season where he's really hoping to prove himself. After going from a relatively down year in Season 60 with only 30 points to reaching a career high in the SHL with 42 points (including his first 20-20 season in the SHL and also recording his 100th career SHL point), he's looking to stay up on the rise and make a name for himself with a beeg beeg season.

This off-season was one of big change. At the end of the season, I was a free agent and decided to sign with a new team. I went from playing for the Minnesota Monarchs to playing for the Los Angeles Panthers.

I'm going from a team with some big changes in Minnesota to a team that fits my timeline and is on the cusp of becoming a legit cup contender. There are a bunch of players on Los Angeles that were drafted in Season 56 along with me and each one of us have been developing and working hard since that day. We are leaders among our draft class and ready to come together as the core of this team and lead the Panthers to contention. As the new guy coming in, I want to make an impact on the team. I want them to feel good about signing me in free agency and show my teammates I'm ready to help lead them on, and off, the ice. I've put in a lot of work this off-season to really bump up my game so I'm excited to get on the ice with my new teammates.

I've got high expectation for myself going into this season. I expect to break out and become a major force in the SHL and I think Los Angeles is destined to become an elite team.

PROMPT 2

The San Francisco Pride have definitely seen a ton of changes this offseason. After a season where we actually did better than many expected, we still got stuck with Texas in the first round of the playoffs so that dream was ended quickly. This offseason, our GMs spend a lot of time and energy to help make our team competitive this season and in the direct future. To being, we traded a host of picks and a lower activity player for Jack Klompus, both a great player and user, to add some star talent to our first line. While this means that Miguel won't be playing there for the foreseeable future, the team will be much better this way. Further, we traded even more picks for Marco Barengrub, another highly active player, this time from my draft class, so that will also ensure our the offensive side of the puck continues to be great in the future. Finally, the Pride shored up the defense with veteran D-man Parker Smeb. I feel like these moves will allow us to surprise some folks!
