PROMPT 1: Your player has died and been reincarnated in another world of your choosing. Unwilling to give up on your game, but finding it doesn't exist in your new world, you now need to introduce and grow the game of hockey in this alternate dimension!

WRITTEN TASK: Tell me how you would explain hockey to your friends in the other world? What do you use for gear? What do you use as a rink? Does it catch on? Would you change the rules? Go nuts!

Allright, this is the chance I was waiting for to perfect the game of hockey, without the people who are still living in the 80s hockey vibe throwing a hissy fit over it. Because too many people still consider fighting and dirty hits a legit part of hockey, and that has to stop.

I would create the game of hockey as we have it now, but with more severe punishments for dangerous, reckless and dumb hits. And completely ban anything involving fighting. You fight? Automatic match penalty, and a 5 game suspension. Do it twice in a season? You can fuck the fuck off for the rest of the season. Team get involved in anything that goes beyond a one-on-one fight? Automatic loss. Line brawl? Loss and points deducted.

Hockey doesn't need fighting, in fact: fighting is holding hockey back from growing into the USA's #1 sport, and from it becoming more popular in large parts of Europe. The violence people still link to hockey is keeping parents from allowing their kids to play, and this would be a perfect opportunity to recreate the sport without the excessive and unnecessary violence and turn it into the technical showcase of skills it can be.
