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 100+ words excluding the prompt.

PROMPT 1- Apparently part of the job of PT Director is user engagement. So I guess I should just dive into that. The SHL needs a splash and what can cause more buzz than a player marriage??

Written Task: You are tasked with planning the royal wedding of two SHL players. Who are these players? Who will be at the wedding? Does it go well? Who crashes it? Give me all the juicy details from my trash magazine article. Remember, hockey is for everyone, and this marriage can be between players of any or no gender or species. (150+ words)

Graphic Task: Depict the two very important players at the center of the wedding and 2 guest players, and label them. Include some kind of wedding activity (idk use your imagination).

PROMPT 2- Screw tying the knot, how about tying the game?

Written Task: What is more tense to be involved in as a player/coach/GM/spectator, a tie game, a game where you are leading by 1, or a game where you are down by 1? Describe all three and decide: what is the most tense you have been watching a close game on stream? (If you haven't watched a stream make something up). Pad your word count until you get to 150+ words.

Graphic Task:- Depict and image of the closest and most intense game in the career of your player that you can recall. A game with everything on the line? Impose the final scoreline from the game onto the image.

You will receive 3 TPE for fulfilling all requirements.

All responses are due on Sunday, January 23rd at 11:59 CST. NOTE: IF YOU SUBMIT/EDIT AFTER THE DEADLINE YOU WILL RECEIVE REDUCED/NO TPE.

Affiliate claims from either PBE or ISFL or that WSLB thing are accepted; link directly to your post and note if your username is different there.
If you have any questions/concerns, please PM me. Tasks with malicious intent will not be graded. The graders reserve the right to determine malicious intent, after discussion with me. You will not be warned.

This task is for SHL players and send downs only, it is not for SMJHL rookies.

Prompt 2:

I am going to go with up by 1. Being a Boston fan from before much of our teams' recent success, I was of the mind that "They are going to blow this." I vividly remember game 7 of the 2011 Eastern Conference finals when the Bruins went up in the third period I was one hundred percent sure they were going to blow it. Do not get me wrong ties and being behind can be just as stressful, but I am pretty sure they are going to lose those games as well.

But being up by one and watching the team go into that awful prevent defense and then the other team circling around with six guys with a minute to go usually has my watch telling me to relax, not sure how they haven't added "He's watching a hockey game, don't bother," feature yet. I should probably patent that.

Prompt 1:

Well, Senji Seteki was just at one of these weddings like two weeks ago. It was a blast. So many different cultures and customs all come together for a beautiful ceremony. Going forward, I would like to see the coming together of Sven Svechnikov and Pasta the Turtle. The wedding would have to take place in Edmonton Canada, in the summer, when turtles can come out and sun bathe. There will be a ton of things to do at the wedding from the usual dancing and drinking, to the unorthodox practice of burying eggs in sand, a custom in all Turtle households. The entire Blizzard team and their families would be in attendance to see the new family be formed. At the end of the day, there would be passed out Blizzard members everywhere with a few of the veterans telling their hockey war stories by the fire. Overall, the wedding would be an astounding success.

I would have to say from my own experience I have only been a player, so I can only answer for that really. When the game is tied it is super stressful because all it takes is one highlight for the game to be untied. It is like sitting on the edge of your seat. I feel like the tied game is the worst for everyone because you just never know what will happen. If you give up a powerplay you are dismayed at the thought of seeing that penalty clock disappear mid-highlight. If your on the other side and your going to score its like amazing. In terms of being up a goal I would say as a player I feel content, although with FHM you just never know what's going to happen. All it takes is one breakaway and its likely a goal. Being down a goal I would say we probably lost, since yeah. I just hope we get lucky and score.
Overall I would say the game being tied is the most tense because you just don't know what is going to happen. As mentioned I have only really been a player so I would imagine being a GM or coach the stress level would be huge.

Ties are the most intense to watch. In either of the other scenarios, one good shot means that the game is either more secure or it's tied. It's not immediately the end, there's still some uncertainty. With a tied game, that one good shot is going to end the tie, which may also end the game if it's late in regulation or has gone to overtime.

Types of ties can also vary in their intensity. I'd say having been the team that had the advantage before the tie is more tense than being the team that had the disadvantage. For the disadvantage team, their task of trying to get ahead hasn't changed. For the advantage team, the task changes from protecting a lead to clawing it back. In that mental changeover, there's space for more errors and sometimes it feels a little more desperate to be fighting off the team that had been at a deficit. (163 Words)

Its the 3rd period, and the clock is winding down. Unless you are Hamilton, you probably have experienced a time or two were you aren't winning comfortably at this point. Down by 1 is tense, but you are already down so it is more of a hopeful anticipation of maybe scoring a goal, but I don't find it as tense as being up by 1 personally, but more tense than a tie. I can't quite say why but I'm already ready to be let down at this point I guess. At a tie with the game winding down I also don't feel nearly as tense because with a tie at least you get points and its not a loss. Although you have to survive a shootout for a true tie and my team has abysmal luck at those (2-8 in shootouts over the last 2 seasons, ugh.) Up by one, now that's the 'ol butthole clencher. Just hanging on, afraid to look or that you'll hear the other team's goal horn. Because if they score then you'll have to make another OT period and maybe a shootout, which, again seem to go the other way.
