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)

Growing up, I played a lot of NHL 94 and 98 on my Sega Genesis. I loved playing with the Stars so I could have Modano, or the Red Wings so I could sing the Dino Cicarelli song (to the tune of we are siamese from lady and the tramp). But one day I realized, at least on NHL 98, that I could create my own player.  I created a blue-line menace, and from there the dream was born.  Ever since that moment I knew I wanted to be a star in a simulated sports league.  I stuck with defense because I love the idea of the guy who is good at what he is supposed to do, but also adds something amazing that he's not expected to do.  My idols were all the great offensive DMen the Stars have had over the years, starting, obviously with the greatest of them all Sergei Zubov. Since then, guys like Stephane Robidas, John Klingberg, and Miro Heiskanen have really been my idols and what I want Cup Noodle to be all about.  So far its worked out pretty well and I hope that by the end of my run in this league I will be a household name like the rest of these guys.
