HOCKEY PROMPT

I'm from Quebec, so obviously all local hockey coverage is dedicated to the Montreal Canadiens. I have to say I absolutely despise all the "hockey writers" we have. Either they're old people trying to convince casual fans that we're going to win the Stanley Cup with our superb team, or they're always targeting players to the point where some people can't even think about playing in Montreal due to the constant media pressure. Hell, even Jo Drouin had to take almost a year off after he ridiculed for bad performances by the hockey pundits. Every week they have a new victim they decide to shit on until someone makes a bad play. They're even trash talking Carey Price because he's injured. I even read some articles ridiculing him after he entered the substance program. I'd like them to cover the team differently. Enough with the constant negativity, let's talk about the positive. We have some good young players now that they'll probably try to bury after every small mistake. Let's not kill their moral, just let them play and cover the team normally please.

Quote:Written Task: These days Twitter takeovers and appearing on Tik Tok just seems to be a part of the job when it comes to being a professional hockey player. So how does your player handle this? When it's their turn to show up on the team Youtube, are they excited for it? Are you the type to be coming up with fun ideas for content and goofing around with the social media team? Or maybe you go to increasingly insane lengths to not appear on camera? Is this a welcome part of the job, or just something you have to do? (150+ words)

Like most Scandanavian players, Kettu isn't too upbeat when it comes to appearing on social media. He doesn't shy away from it or turn it down though, but his dry sense of humor is not as much of a hit with the Kraken and Panther faithful as other more outgoing members of the respective teams. The fans don't seem to mind too much, Kettu is a strong player in the Panther pipeline and one of the SMJHL's best centers, so the fans always love it when Kettu takes over social media for a day. He tries to give the best advice he can for aspiring hockey players, but most fans just tune in to see his interactions with their favorite social media player: Pass Forfeit. Forfeit truly carries the social media game for Kettu. The friendly banter back and forth between the two is the most the fans seem to get out of Kettu in terms of seeing his true self.

Player prompt:

So these days all the kids on every professional or even semi professional team in the national hockey league, the simulation hockey league, the NOSHO, the AHL, the ECHL,. Etc. They all want players to help promote the teams brand and in a symbiotic relationship, the players brand. However, there are some players, like Igor victory of the Philly forge in the simulation hockey league, who have no desire to further their brand. Theyve been around long enough, and had enough mishaps (looking at you jock straps of the late 50s), that it doesn't mean anything to them. But because they need to be there for the team and have to take one for the team, they can't do what they normally do in their Finnish ways and hide. So, Igor Victory has made it clear that he will take part in exactly one video per season and it has to be quality and not a throwaway snapchap video. GM knows this, Coach knows it, even the owner knows it. So when preseason hits and they need to start filming spots, they make sure they get it right for him. Good thing this is all in his contract.

Kinsinger loves showing up on the team's YouTube and twitter and such. Kinsinger has always had a love for the world of online gaming, and doing his own offseason and downtime live streaming, he's more than familiar with being on camera, and playing up to the current trends and shenanigans to get a laugh. Being part of the team's social media is just par for the course for the Dane, as he loves the idea of pushing the brand forward and making the Winnipeg Aurora a fan favourite. If off ice fan and non fan opinions could influence the on ice performance, well you'd certainly say that approach has worked for the Aurora so far this season, as they are off to a hot start and Kinsinger is loving the reception the team is getting to their social media games. It's just one more thing to love about playing hockey for Winnipeg for Kinsinger.
