Written Option 1: With every new season some new faces join the team. How is your player helping those fresh rookies to become the best they can? Do they help them all the best they can or are they the kind of person who first finds someone they like to take under their wing? Or if they know better to leave things like this to others, who they think is the best one in the team to leave it to, why them?

Written Option 2: Your player has agreed to take part in a short documentary that highlights their career so far. For starters they want to go back to interview people who have helped at the beginning of your players career. Who were the people who first saw your players potential and helped them to take the next steps? What do they have to say about your player?

Written Option 1: Alexa is the captain of the Saint Louis Scarecrows, and has been for three seasons so far, so greeting the rookies is a natural thing for her. There's a whole process to it, by now. First, she greets them at the draft itself, shaking their hand when they come off stage and letting them know who she is. Next, she makes sure they're able to find a place to stay in St. Louis. Then, when the rookies arrive and report for their first day, she gives them a tour of the facilities. It's important they know where the training rooms are, which lockers to use, how to get to the medic station, where the cafeteria is... that often can take up the first day. After that, it's settling into business more as usual, one on one or small team drills with the rookies at first, to get them settled into the pace and amount of work needed when going pro, then making sure they integrate into the team as a whole from there!

For the Anchorage Armada I am a sophomore this season and we saw some new Boats from the Draft. I always like to help with the introducing in the Lockerroom and also at first say helllo and take the nervousness from them. Also nice is to skate with them the first time in the team training arena and show them that the SMJHL isn't different in comparison to their former leagues. But most important are the team meetings in the private zone. We had lately the charity cooking in Anchorage and I would say that is always a good way for team building. The goal should be to have the new team members feeling home at a team. Right now I can say the team chemistry is already really good and the new team members are already feeling him. The next step is it to celebrate together in the upcoming season. We had a nice preseason and with this performance we can't wait until the regular season will start.

Task 1:

William Salming starts his 20th SHL season today. So, he knows something about how to be an professional athlete and ice-hockey player. He likes to pass that knowledge to the next generation with an open heart and mind so others don't have to do the same mistakes than he did even though Salming didn't luckily do so many mistakes neither but anyway it is good to help others if you have a chance to do it. Salming doesn't just go and tell kids what to do. He waits if they want to ask something. If not and Salming finds something which could be useful for theirs future, then he goes to tell his tips and advices. It is also good thing sometimes to let the kids make mistakes because they are one of the best way to learn but you have to have a right balance. Too many mistakes can lead to downgrade in motivation and performances on the ice when the puck drops.

Your player has agreed to take part in a short documentary that highlights their career so far. For starters they want to go back to interview people who have helped at the beginning of your players career. Who were the people who first saw your players potential and helped them to take the next steps? What do they have to say about your player?

All the way back at the very beginning, that goes to three people - the woman who recruited me, @Revontulete, her friend who helped to show me the ropes, @NaomiMannequeen, and the excellent scout, @Popol. Those three all saw potential in Matthias that he couldn’t even see in himself, and Popol in particular really pushed to have him given a chance on the team - there was a lot of celebrating when he took 2oa, and I largely credit these three with making that happen. Later on, people like @cake307, @kahri, and @Jimmysmo27 all encouraged his growth and helped to manage his productivity, though the influence of those first three never waned much; while Matthias’ first season was excellent, he can’t help but feel that he wasn’t contributing quite as much to his team as he ought to - but, he still has one more season to learn what he can from his oldest mentors, before they leave the J. And even then, they’re quite likely to stick around. With a good bit of luck and some solid advice and growing understanding, the next steps will be for Matthias to become more of a pillar of the team, and begin to turn that potential into reality.

This season in Texas there are a couple of new faces! First off, leaving us are Defenseman Alexander Minaj who left to free agency, Winger Mads McBride who also went to Free Agency and finally winger Lasse Zeigler who was traded to Toronto. Texas of course wishes them the best in the future of their careers! Some at the end of a long career, others at a fresh new start that will bring a lot of greatness! That leaves three holes on the roster that need to be filled! Coming up from Anchorage is Sebastien Levesque who will have his rookie season with us! Levesque will be spending a lot of time with long time defenseman Dirty Boots who will help him get acquainted on the blue line. Seb will also spend a lot of time with Guy Incognito who will be his linemate. The new wingers coming to Texas are both coming from the Toronto North Stars, both acquired in different way. William Tree joined the team through free agency and will be spending a lot of time with Assistant Captain Chris Valentine and linemate Marton Diehm as he has some high expectations on the first line on the wing! The other player and biggest player joining the team this season is Jack St. Claire who came over in the trade with Lasse Zeigler. St. Claire is already a well-acquainted player and likely had some leadership roles with his former team. He'll be spending a lot of time with Renegades team captain David-Arturri Donskoi as they discuss leadership and how to keep this team together and move forward to another successful season!

The Renegades will have some team building exercises in Texas including Lasso the coach and lots of Texas BBQ. It's been a fantastic off season, and this season will be proof of their hard work off the ice.

Option 1:

This year the Forge are only welcoming one new player, and thats our S78 backup goaltender, Launchpad McQuack. As a member of the S75 draft class, Mcquack is technically only one year behind Marek Carda in age and career so far, despite Marek starting what will be his third full SHL season. Being part of such a well established franchise with a history of success and building from within (all S78 members are Philadelphia draft picks) means that there are a number of tenured Forge players who take on a bit more responsiblity in terms of being part of the welcome committee. While Marek would like to introduce Launchpad to some of his favorite bits of Philadelphia living, as he did with Leonard Wood last season, the bulk of the introduction is handled by some of the more senior members of the team, like Red Kirkby, Ricky Koivu, and San-sam Emerson. Additionally, being a goalie, BASE PACK is heavily involved in the hazing - er, welcoming - of McQuack. Carda is friendly, and always willing to help with day-to-day things - sometimes being of a similar age to the rookie can give common ground in navigating some personal and professional challenges - but for the most part there is an established culture in place already that has worked season after season in welcoming and retaining young talent.

Dan is always excited to see the fresh faces of rookies. It reminds him of the year he joined the league and remembers how nervous and scared he was walking into that dressing room for the first time. Dan tries to be one of the first players that the rookies see as they enter the locker room and extends a warm hand in welcome. He likes to take the rookies on a quick tour of the locker room and all of the other areas the rooks may need to visit, (weight room, medical area, coaches offices, etc..) Once that is done, and the first day of orientations and practice is done, Dan likes to invite the rooks out to lunch. He always feels its better to try and welcome them in and make them as comfortable as they can as early as he can, as the faster they acclimate the faster they become true contributors to the culture of the locker room.

Bringing on new players is always a good time. The raw excitement and eagerness that they are coming in with can be infectious. But with that also comes pressure and nerves. However, hockey is hockey and if you get to this point you have the core skills that you need already and just need to figure out how to gel with the team and work with our system. That really comes down to the team and teammates to figure out how to make things work on and off the ice.

As one of the old dudes left on the team my role is really to take up space on the bench and look like I am contributing on the ice. In reality I just scoot around and act like I belong while trying not complain about my aches and pains constantly. From a practical standpoint, I just try to make sure they know where to be and when to be there so that we can try to get pucks in the net and bring home more of those cups.

As a second season player on the Argonauts, Squidwardo is not extremely familiar with the league yet. He learned a lot from franchise legends Vaseline Podcalzone, Landon Fischermann, Wendolene Ramsbottom and William Salming. With an additional 4 rookies coming up this season and 3 of the legends sticking around after the retirement of Fischermann, Squidwardo will help out where he can but all the players will be looking up to the veterans and learning from them rather than Squidwardo Tentacles. The knowledge and experiences that they have shared in their 15+ career seasons will help familiarize players with different situations more than Squidwardo's single SHL season. With 7 players on the team entering their second SHL season and 4 entering their first season, the Argonauts' will continue to depend on their veterans to lead the way on the team. With Vaseline Podcalzone entering his final career year, he will be one of the veteran standouts that rookies will definitely want to be learning from while they still can.
