Written Option 2: Home Opening nights are usually big shows for the hosting team. Fans are watching with anticipation, waiting for the first look at what their favourite teams are going to look like this season. How does your player try to make opening night special? Do they stay behind to sign autographs for the fans? Do they give it 120% to get a win for the first home game of the season? Do they do special celebrations when introduced in the pre-game ceremony?

Task 2:

Today will be a 22nd Opening Night for William Salming in the Simulation Hockey League. He has also experience from four opening nights in the junior hockey. So, what does Salming on opening nights? Well, he usually tries to keep his routines same. He sleeps long, eats a good lunch and then heads to a rink early so he can meet some fans outside the building and chat with them little bit. After that Salming goes inside the ice hall and begin to prepare for the game. During the warm-ups he usually throws pucks to the audience. He always gifts pucks same amount than he has seasons under his belt. So, this season Salming will gift 22 warm-up pucks to the crowd. You could say that financial department is not too happy about that but they still accept it because marketing department thinks it is a good PR move from veteran player like Salming. During the game Salming plays normally. He gives all he has and competes for the win always. But if you think during the game that it is a opening night, then you probably lose.

Home opening is always super exciting in the wolfden! The only problem for me is how overboard the whole thing has gotten. We have all the available alumni come in and work at various shops and stands, signing autographs for whoever wants them. They then have all the trophy presentations done, and we are now upto over 60 awards. In-between each award we do a fan appreciation video, for any season ticket holder accomplishments. By the time that is done we finally do the starting line up announcements after the warm up skate, where we get to give a detailed bio about our goals and hopes for the season, both on and off the ice. Sometimes these are funny, like when a few players said things like "I hope i get traded to another team so I don't have to do this anymore" after a short fireworks display, we get right into another round ice cleaning. Then we can do any banner raising ceremonies, followed by any retirement announcements. Then we present @luke with the team. Then we ge to finally play.

After they do a live auction for our jerseys off our back, sticks out our hands, gloves off our hands, skates off our feet, and jocks off our ... privates.

Overall it takes about 9 hours.

Written Option 2

Ooooooh ho ho ho, Matthias’ fans know exactly why they come to see his games, and it’s for the absurd antics - opening night, the game is about, you know, the game itself, but the pre-show and especially after the game is over? No he can do absolutely bonkers stuff. Staying behind for autographs? Nah, if you want his autograph, you come down to the ice after the game where he’s installing an Octagon for an impromptu pro-wrestling tournament where the most wildly unconventional duo gets a new car and his signature tattoo’d on them.

Free merch? Absolutely not, Matthias fans are so unhinged that they’d be insulted by the offer - no, no, he hosts a challenge for the “bring your kid to the game” parents, about which kid can eat the most maple syrup. And the winner has the chance to buy the merch - nobody else >:0 nobody!

You see, Matthias is *very* in touch with his fans, they have rather extreme expectations of him, and finding ways to waste the SMJHL’s money is extremely important for his image and his brand Smile

Graj's pregame routine has always been the same, but he does spice it up a hair bit for opening nights. He usually doesn't do a ton with his routine, just skating out and lifting his stick to the crowd, then going to center ice before the puck drops and taking a knee to calm himself and center himself to enjoy the moment. However on opening nights, Graj skates around the entirety of the rink with his stick up, waving at everyone in the stands. He also likes to take a signed puck with him and stop at the first kid he sees on the opposite side of the rink from the benches and toss it to them. He also will stop and do a special handshake with the Forge mascot, something different every time. He likes to get the crowd fired up, but knows he can't get too far away from his normal routine or he'll struggle later on because his sense of normalcy is gone.

Thanks to EAB and sulovien for the sigs!

Wow, I was so nervous and excited when I got the call that I would be on the Greatest show on Earth and compete against other athletes from the 3 other great sim leagues: PBE, ISFL, SSL. When I got there I found out my competition.
From the PBE it was Murphy LeSwift; he was a stocky powerful athlete with some speed that looked like he would be tough at many things. The ISFL sent JamesIsRunning Wilder. He's a running back that can catch. Another fast guy, hopefully the only race will be on skates. And last was Puma Superhoops from he SSL. He is flamboyant and almost looks like a cat. I have my work cut out for me.

Lucky for me the first competition was the Hockey segment which pitted us against each other in an ice obstacle course. And I of course dusty everyone else and took the lead, with 5 points. Unfortunately, the only other competition I did good in was the one for soccer where the rules were you had to keep an object in the air the longest without letting it hit the ground and you could only use equipment found in your sport, lucky for me. I juggled a puck with my stick and even beat out Puma by 3 juggles.

The other two didn't go as well baseball was running around the bases in the quickest time and football was catching balls punted from the other side of the field, I only got 2. But fun was had by everyone and I feel like I have known those guys forever, I am sure we will stay in touch.
