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.

PLAYER PROMPT - It's quiet in the locker room before your first game of Season 65. You can hear the crowd chanting and hollering at the end of the long tunnel to the ice. Everyone is taking this last moment to get centered and prepared for the long season ahead. In the moments before you stand up and walk out to the ice together, your mind drifts to when you were younger and you were dreaming of your chance to play in these huge SHL arenas. 

Written Task: Why did your player want to play hockey to begin with? What drew them to the game? Was it a supportive parent? A Hall of Fame hero? Maybe it's just the sound a skate makes when it cuts into the ice? What is it about hockey that's so special to your player? (150+ words)

Graphic Task: Depict your player at this moment of inspiration. Whether it's meeting a hero, or taking the ice for the first time.

CREATIVE PROMPT- OK, that's a pretty sappy prompt. Maybe you want something a little more fun. Fine by me! Your player has gotten the opportunity to host a youth event at the start of this season to get the kids excited about the power of sport and the spirit of unity. Hurrah!

Written Task:  What activities, sports, or games do you have prepared for your group of kids to teach them the values your player lives by? Are you trying to do meaningful team building exercises with lessons that last a lifetime, or something stupid like trying to sneak the kids into the back door of a casino? Your call. Go wild. (150+ words)

Graphic Task:- Show me your player leading their activity for the kids at their event.

You will receive 3 TPE for fulfilling all requirements.
