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.

Please note that the "Story Mode" tag does NOT mean that you must make some overarching plot or tie your tasks together to receive TPE. You are also NOT committed to one prompt chain - feel free to hop between them from week to week!

CREATIVE PROMPT / STORY MODE - Broken ground!

Written Task: Turns out your owner saw reason and hired union labor to build the stadium, which also appeased the belligerent councilperson (surely unrelated to the union's donation to her campaign fund). With construction well underway, you are now confident your team will only have to play one season in the college arena. Upon puck drop, you find yourself playing in a classic "college atmosphere."

Does your player enjoy it? What's the craziest thing a fan gets kicked out of the stadium for? Do you ever jump into the crowd for a celly? What's different about playing in a college stadium, especially that your player might remember fondly? If they're absolutely miserable the entire time, why? (150+ words)

Graphic Task: Show me your player's celly that got them fined by the league!

PLAYER PROMPT - Strictly Business

Written Task: Fact is, the game is the same no matter where it's played. Home, away, outdoor, that one weird exposition game in Belarus that you're pretty sure your owner was blackmailed into putting on, your player's job doesn't change. So, how does your player keep an even keel? What's their trick for mental reset and maintaining focus on their game despite the men with tracksuits and AK47s hanging out at the vending area? (150+ words)

Graphic Task: Show me your player's war face!

You will receive 3 TPE for fulfilling all requirements.

All responses are due on Monday, June 26th at 11:59 PST. NOTE: IF YOU SUBMIT/EDIT AFTER THE DEADLINE YOU WILL RECEIVE REDUCED/NO TPE.

I love the college atmosphere. A bunch of drunk rowdy college kids really know how to bring the energy. I remember game 1 was an absolute gong show but that was definitely part of our fault. All game the players are jumping into the glass after we scored a goal or we raised our hands up to fire up the crowd after a big hit or a fight. The fans go so fired up they were shaking the glass around the rink. You could see it moving back and forth like a wave around the arena. Near the end of the game we had a two goal lead and that glass around the rink started to cave in behind the net. Fans were falling on to the ice as it gave way. The two building security guys and all of us players were trying to help get these people off of the ice. It delayed the rest of the game about 45 minutes but no one was seriously hurt. We walked away with a big W that night and every night in that arena had been just as wild since.

One thing that Miguel Hefeweizen learned early in his career was how to stay mentally focused. One of the primary ways he does that is his pre-game routine. Regardless of where he is playing, home, away, the moon, he follows the same steps. First of all, he gets a good night sleep the night before. Certainly, Miguel tries to get a good night sleep every night, but pre-game its really important. To that end, he always travels with some noise cancelling headphones, sleep mask, and his legally prescribed sleep meds. He goes to bed early, and avoids alcohol and caffeine before bed. Certainly, some players would think he's a bit of a stick-in-the-mud for being so boring, but Miguel doesn't care. Miguel gets to the arena early, checks his equipment, gets some good prehab and hydration going, and a massage before games. Although sometimes those can be a bit sketchy depending on where he is! All of this routine helps Miguel stay focused and mentally ready for game time.
