Well, the dust finally settled. After months of uncertainty following the abrupt end of our season after blowing a 3-1 series lead to Colorado in the first round, the Scarecrows organization has finally decided to stay in St. Louis. No longer will we have to worry about the move to Saskatoon, since we had a new, 19,500 seat rink built just for us, the little SMJHL team, alone against what seemed to be all of our city. Finally, it’s opening night. No longer will our most recent game be a saddening blowout loss to Colorado in game 7 after we had a two goal lead with just 10 minutes left to close out the series in game 5. Also no longer will I be asked for my political views, at least for now. More importantly, the after game cake all of us are yearning for. Atop the piles of golden yellow frosting, a sculpture of our often forgotten mascot, Hayes the Scarecrow. Graceful as a scarecrow can be, Hayes will stand, doing his job, scaring the crows, at least those far away. I’ve gotta go, the looming start time of opening night urges me to get onto the ice and relax.

Honestly, Meta Knight really loves to take any opportunity to tell his boss to leave him alone or foil any grand plans if possible (without doing too much damage to the team publicly). Pranks and shithousing is pretty standard affair in locker rooms, and when a boss comes in trying to get things serious and get input on marketing side stuff from players, what can you really expect from them? With the new rink all sorted out, the owner came into the locker room with a huge amount of positive energy asking everyone what they thought the team should do for the fans... when he got to Meta Knight, there was really only one possible suggestion. With the well established love for popcorn machines in the locker room, Meta Knight was quick to suggest each fan should receive their body weight in popcorn... and that was all. Why complicate things, quick suggestion, crazy in scale and completely unfeasible, perfect to give you boss a response in character, without really giving them any help at all, just to give them no help at all! Perfect!

Something I think could easily work for the Baltimore Platoon is a cloud frosting contest, it's super simple so everybody can get involved plus it goes along with our relaxing city vibe and beautiful weather. Whenever the judges are pick the winner another good idea would be to insert falconry and flying lessons inside the cakes.. Revealing each winner with a slice. Afterwards the money gets sliced and a majority of the donations go to the kitchen staff so they can upgrade and add an offical bakery instead of filling the parking lot at the next annual bake off plus supply our fans with desserts for the stressed moments. What about the cake you ask? That also brings in some dollars at the auction, whatever is leftover goes to our newest SHL and SMJHL rookies to help welcome them to the team because whoever is involved in the competition had their fair share of spoon licks and fingers full of icing.

Ryan Quintana Green is a people person, always has a great relationship with most of the people he meets. Just a good vibes kind of guy. This extends to the owner of the team too, he and Quintana Green are on good terms, no doubt. But that doesn't mean that the owner can't be a bit overbearing sometimes. Part of being a people person is knowing how to deal with all kinds of people in a way that wont affect the positive aspects of a relationship. The owner is often restless, thinking of so many different projects to do and trying to juggle them. He often cannot and thus enlists the players to try to do this for him. It's not malicious at all but it can get a bit annoying. It often takes Ryan Quintana Green telling him that he needs to relax before he truly gets the message, but the owner takes no offense to this and holds RQG in an even higher regard because of it!

CREATIVE PROMPT

Opening night at LaSalle Arena was a blast! A big part of the arena plan involved Dallas-based and local businesses, plus a large green space right outside (with the parking garage built underneath). With the gorgeous weather at that time of year it was no sweat to put a whole carnival together. Well, there was *some* sweat because it's super hot in Texas, but all the more reason to hit up the lemonade stands and dunking booths and little water slides. All of the balloon pop and ring toss games are stocked with Renegades swag (hats! rally towels! stuffed Rene toys!) for both adults and children. A day spent outside having fun in the sun culminated in an evening inside our state of the art (and air conditioned) arena where the carnival atmosphere continued with intermission games and giveaways. The future looks bright in Texas and our grand opening was a statement to the community: the Renegades are here to bring the fun!

To begin, each person entering the stadium will be given a complementary shirt launching gun each loaded with a foam sword. When the opening ceremony begins, a crowd of actors dressed as white walkers will carry a large block of ice with a person frozen inside. This person will be a willing volunteer and totally not a troublesome councilman who tried to block the stadium's construction. The walkers will set the block of ice down in the middle of the rink and the fans in the stands will be invited to launch their swords at the walkers or the ice block. We're so confident in who they will target the actors won't even need insurance for the event. The swords will chip away at the ice and, hopefully, free the volunteer inside before they run out. If they aren't freed then, I don't know, we can have the players wield their skates and chip at the ice or something. Who cares.

You know what, I don't think that I'm obligated to sell myself on OF to make sure that the team stays in Minnesota. Sure, there's no waves in Saskatoon, but it's not exactly firing double overhead 18 second tube rides on the lakes in Minnesota either.. not really worth the amount of butter that I've went through while degrading myself. Fuck this, I'm going to management, telling them to pull their heads out of their asses and finalize a deal for a new stadium. I may not have read all the fine print, but if this is what's expected out of me, I'll make sure that the next deal I sign is with a warm weather franchise that is based somewhere that has actual waves. We'll see what happens. I'm pretty sure that I've already made enough money to keep the team in Minnesota by pimping myself out to the internet... idk, hopefully!

PLAYER PROMPT - Stop asking me for shit!

Written Task:  See, none of this off-ice promotional stuff is actually in your contract. You have to put on a good face in interviews and not do enough cocaine to make the news, but stumping for a new stadium or designing events on behalf of your owner is outside your job description.

If you choose to enforce this part of your contract, how would you politely (or otherwise) tell your owner to buzz off? Or would you negotiate a consulting contract? (150+ words)

See the thing is I have no issues with helping the organization get a new arena. New facilities will benefit the team and then in turn will bring in new players and make the team better. So, I have no issue being a shill for the benefit of the group. You can whore me out to any company you want to in order to bring in more money and new facilities. The more state of the art the place is the more fun we can all have. You are telling me I can do a little bit more work and I can get us all a shuffle board table, maybe a bubble hockey table in our team lounge? Hell yeah then, sign me up and I will take one for the team. Unfortunately it seems like the Seattle locker room is getting a bit of a turnover, so why not bring people in who are ready to win and have fun!

Wow, I can't believe I actually spent most of a season not only enduring the owners bullshit, but actually doing a bunch of the work for him to try and help the team get out of this mess! I thought I was supposed to be a hockey player not a businessman! And I didn't even get any extra salary or benefits from taking on all this extra work. I'm telling him that from this point on, Noel Blanchet is simply a hockey player for the Winnipeg Aurora. I will still participate in charity initiatives and team based activities and stuff like that, but all of that is by my own decision. No more being roped into the owners drama and controversy. If he can't figure out how to run a hockey team properly then he shouldn't be running a professional hockey team. And if he doesn't respect my boundaries then I will have no choice but to get my agent and the players association involved because none of that nonsense is a part of my contract.

Creative Prompt

The easiest opening night ceremony or event for New Orleans would be to have a miniature Mardi Gras. Invite local musicians and performers and have a fun event outside of the arena for the whole day with the opening game taking place later at night. It would be fun to get the whole team involved in the days festivities, assuming they are up for it right before a game. You could have food trucks, fan experiences, live music, performances, player meet and greets with autograph signings, or even some player demonstrations. As part of Olson's agreement to assist with organizing, he'd also make sure that a sizeable portion of proceeds would go to various local non-profits to ensure the Specters give back to the community. It is important for a franchise as big as the Specters organization to ensure they are doing their part to help the local community whenever possible. Olson would happily take part if that was agreed upon by the team.

Opening Night

I have two words for you: live bears or at least one live bear really. In light of the abysmal season that the Grizzlies just had, we're going to need something truly stupendous to put butts back in the seat and I think that is a few real life bears for the folks to see. There must be a circus or something around that we can rent a bear or two from and then it's just a matter of designing some truly memorable events like: pet a bear! We can have the kids be able to pet a real live bear. We could make it informational too, tie in a message about conservation and keeping the forests healthy while we entertain. Have some folks from the zoo there to give out information and to tranq the bear if it decides to get all slashy with a kid who won't stop petting it.

After a season of being forced to do pointless tasks including designing a new arena and other non hockey related tasks, Andreas had finally reached his breaking point. He has put his foot down and told the team to stop involving him in these events, and instead hire some actual professionals to accomplish these tasks. If they had done that from the start, they probably would have never found themselves in this situation to begin with, and had their arena situation sorted out far before now. Fortunately, Andreas has built up enough clout with the Texas Renegades organization over the last twenty plus seasons playing with the team that ownership and management did not respond poorly to his declaration. Instead, they all sat down together like adults to discuss and clarify everyone's roles and responsibilities within the organization and ensure that this farce of a situation would never occur again.

Player Prompt:

Matiss is all in for helping out with the off ice opportunities to promote the team and help make things better for the future of the team. He is always willing to talk with the owner about the off ice opportunities that they have for the team whether he likes the ideas or not. Matiss thinks that he can talk with the owners about anything and be able to come up with agreement on what he will need to do during the off ice opportunities. Matiss feels like he is a good negotiator and believes that he can appease both his interest in off ice opportunities and the ownership to be able to have a fair deal with what he will need to contribute and what the ownership will be happy with. The negotiations would include frequency of events, how long he would need to be at the events, and what he would be doing at each event.

7:04 PM strikes on the clock, the lights go dim in the arena, and Sirius by the Alan Parsons' Project starts to ring through the PA system. The entire crowd harmoniously swung their promotional light-up axes that each fan received at the door for opening night. The starting lineup is announced one by one as they skate out through flames and pyrotechnics. There was flash and awe to be had at the new arena, but there is just one thing the Newfoundland crowd desires. WINS. The pageantry is good for the hype, but if the players can't live up to that hype, this rabid fanbase will turn quickly. "And your Captainnnnn; MITTT WOBETTT" The crowd goes nuts, the puck drops, and heads start rolling if they aren't wearing the correct colors. Berserkers go on to win opening night 1084-0 .. or at least that's how Mit remembered it.
