World Cup of Hockey 36
Brought to you by the Anthoran Ice Hockey Federation, and its many fans!

A Traveller's Companion to the Kingdom of Anthor:

The Kingdom of Anthor is a constitutional monarchy consisting of some two hundred million souls within the borders of Atlantian Oceania; headed by her King, Samuel III, and her duly elected Prime Minister, Thomas Dalen, the average Anthoran of the better part of two decades has been able to enjoy freedom, peace and comfort; with the levels of all three of those, as well as the standards of living rising at large paces in more recent years, thanks to modern innovations created in Anthoran labs or across the multiverse, and brought into daily life by the Anthoran businessman or entrepreneur.

The Kingdom itself prides itself on it's relative safety and freedoms, though the two are usually carefully balanced. If the WCOH was to return to Anthor for the second time, most travellers would more then likely find themselves in the northern city of Kirkwall, the provincial capital of the Ebele Province and one of the first major cities if you crossed the kingdom's northern border. Home to some 5 million people, and a further one million in the nearby suburbs, towns and fringes of the city, Kirkwall is one of the most modern cities one could visit in Anthor, without losing the scenic countryside views that traditional Anthorans love seeing on postcards and pictures. Freedoms afforded to visitors are parallel to those of our citizenry, though they may not be as wide as some other nations; you are free to express your opinion and yourself, but ownership of firearms and weaponry is regulated, and while the police presence is not overwhelming, it would be unusual to not see one of the protectors of the King's people during the course of a day. Travellers could also find themselves arriving in Tharsius, particularly if they're entering from southern realms, where they would be greeted with the most developed and largest urban metropolis in the Kingdom, home to some seven million souls it has every feature of a stereotypical big city; one of its iconic features is the heavily developed public transportation, which users able to get bus, rail, metro, high-speed rail and other options to any part of the city, or any part of the Kingdom.

Thanks to recent economic success, though slow at first, the Anthoran pound is on pace with most other currencies, or close enough that visitors would get equal or near-equal value in their exchange of their native monetary amounts, and some banks will even cover any money you may have lost, depending on which company it is. Additionally, hotels are usually more styled on offering larger options and packages, at a far cheaper price; the standard package usually includes free room service, access to the hotel's shuttle service and facilities, as well as other similar perks.

Hockey within the Kingdom is governed by the AIHF, or the Anthoran Ice Hockey Federation, which helps guide and lead the largest sport in the kingdom, which generates an total attendance of fifteen million fans each season . Founded approximately thirty years ago in an effort to modernize and reform ice hockey within the Kingdom, the Federation oversees a professional league of 16 teams, and then two lower level leagues which aid in youth development. In the north, hockey is just as much a part of daily life as food or water, and you can find a major league team in any of the northern big cities, and everywhere else will at least have one junior or pro-am team, if not more. Kirkwall itself is home to a CJHL team, the Kirkwall Panthers, and is only a thirty minute ride from the city of Yarmouth, which is home to the professional level Yarmouth Ducks who are the reigning dynasty within the Federation. In the south, Toussard would be your mecca for hockey, their local pro level team the Daemons have made every playoff for the last eight seasons and are one of the most competitive teams in the entire Federation. Other cities such as Furness and Inverness also possess major league teams and offer plenty of hockey for tourists to consume.

Scorination will be conducted using xkorante, with the Saintland modifiers. RP bonus will be a cumulative and generous, with judging being based on originality, effort, and using information relevant to the Cup, such as opposing rosters, etc. There will also be a roster bonus for those who contribute one. In the event Anthor makes it to the playoff round, third party scorination will be requested.

Schedule:

Cutoffs will be around 1:30 AM - 3 AM EST every Match Day. The odd times are due to my work schedule, and I apologize for the weirdness; users can expect for the cutoff to be on the later end of that window then the earlier end.

Host Stadia of the 36th World Cup of Hockey

This 36th World Cup of Hockey, fans of our favorite form of artwork on ice will be flocking to parts and corners all across our majestic Kingdom here of Anthor, and we here at the Anthoran Ice Hockey Federation recognize that for many of you, this will be your first visit in our bright nation, so we've coordinated with the Ministry of Tourism to gather a host of services and such to be available to you during your sport and food filled stay here. Below, you can find information on the stadiums you will be cheering, booing, and crying in over the coming weeks.

Fey City Arena (Located in Korsvegen City) [Capacity: 34,500) - Group 1
The Fey City Arena is one of the most storied stadiums within Anthor, primarily known as the home of the Korvesgen Templars which were one of the most successful ice hockey clubs within the kingdom in the last century. Although the Templars have fallen on hard times and don't play at the top level of professional hockey in the Kingdom, they still retain a cult following from their fans both within and without the city and although it is older and smaller then some of the newer stadiums, you'll find yourself feeling at home here, be you in the southeast corner on your floorboard seat or grabbing a cup of hot brew from Mik and Brothers stand in the plaza area.

Marshall City Forum (Located in Furness City) [Capacity: 28,000) - Group 1
Despite the fact that the AIHF is in it's offseason currently, tourists to the Hammer Zone will undoubtedly hear the infamous "Hammer Time' chant that Furness fans are so renowned for; be it from one of the merchandise shops in the tight-knit concourse area or from some Anthoran with a mobile speaker. Marshall City was a gamble when it was built nine years ago as it was the Federation's first multi-sport facility, but despite the fact its sole purpose isn't just ice hockey fans will get to feel intimate with the sport here.

Playstyle: Aggressive both offensively and defensively. The team is focused more on generating scoring opportunities than anything else when in the other team's end, and more focused on stopping whomever has the puck in their own end, and getting the puck itself out of their own end. The defenders especially are encouraged to throw their (considerable, considering they're all larger than normal Kerbals) weight around. Big hits are favored over poke checks, and the individual team members are told to keep initiating fights to a minimum, but not to back down from any fights other players pick. They are all armed forces (army, all except Bill are in Artillery divisions), and fight like demons with military training.

Considerations: Expect Bill Kerman to have plenty of security on hand. He is the Minister of War, though he is on the team in an unofficial capacity on furlough.

Stadium information will be given the post after groupings are announced. Uniform info will either be added to this post or put in that one tomorrow.

[St Saratoga]

Kredit Union Arena, Rogerbei -- STG Hockey President Jon Sampson announced today the dismissal of Patrick Underhill from his duties as head coach of the Saratogan “Saints” National Ice Hockey team. This coming after two poor performances at the World Cup of Hockey 34 and 35 where he posted a 4-8-1 team record. “We are of course disappointed that it came to this, we had high hopes for [Patrick] Underhill but with the recent performance in the last two WCoH’s plus ignoring the advice of his superiors and lower coaching staff we felt that it was time to change the direction the team was heading.”

In the same press conference Sampson announced that Assistant Coach Shawn Bosley was picked to take over the reins of the national team. “Under Coach Underhill we found things worked for this team. We had a high scoring, physically aggressive team that dominated the ice but in return we suffered in defense leaving basically our goaltenders to keep the puck out of the net by themselves. We are going to make some changes shortly that will serve as steps to fix this problem. I want to thank President Sampson for entrusting me with the future of this team, I hope to build on the sturdy foundation Coach Underhill created.”

Soon after press conference was completed the national team sent out a press release stating the hiring of recently retired goaltender Levi Henriksson to the goalie coordinator role as well as multiple roster moves which are listed below:

• Marc Ekström moved to second line defense
• Defensemen Lewis Faulkner moved to 2nd line defense to join M. Ekström
• Defensemen Christopher Harr moved to 3rd line defense
• Defensemen Seth Ivarsson was benched
• Storm Ekström moved to the backup role
• David Crawford taking over starting job

The Buio'Dzz
Before every match, the team members (including the designated substitutes for the match) will perform a traditional ritual, called the Buio'Dzz on the pitch just before play begins. This is one of the many tribe war dance from the aboriginals of Mapletish, meant to awe their opponents, this is similar to the [RL] New Zealanders' haka before their matches. This would be performed unless the hosts of the match in question object to the ritual.

Playing style:

Players from former Prusy Krolewskie relies on puck control, speed, fineness and perfect passes. They prefer to keep the puck than shooting on the net. Their style is comparable to the USSR style in the '70s. The Pruski doesn't like physical play at all.

Players from former Botten plays modern hockey and they're pretty much skilled. They don't keep the puck as much longer as Prussian players but they don't dump the puck either.

Players from former Southern Democratic States plays north american style hockey. They crash the net and are more physical than Prussian and Bothnian players. Hunter McGuire is a power forward and sometimes goes for the big hit. He's not affraid to drop the gloves too.

Nickname: The Icy Elephants
Style Mod: 0

Ice hockey is the most popular sport in Elejamie, followed by football/soccer (both are acceptable in Elejamie) and rugby [union], In fact, the men's national team - nicknamed the Icy Elephants, not to be confused with the ENIHL team Elejamie City Ice Elephants - are one of the best teams in the multiverse, having made the World Cup of Hockey finals four times in four consecutive competitions; winning two (29th edition against Gregoryisgodistan and 31st edition against Valanora) and losing two (30th and 32nd, both times against disliked rivals Valanora), as well as a bronze medal in Valanora back in the 28th edition; although the B-team won a gold medal in the men's ice hockey at the 12th Winter Olympics, they're considered a different team and as a result their achievement is not counted alongside the two WCoH wins. They've also been one of the best teams in the tournament, very nearly making it out of the group stage in their inaugural tournament, making it to the quarter-finals in their second, winning the bronze in their third and staying in the top ten in rankings since the 29th edition (and top 3 since the 30th WCoH).

They got a third win in the last competition over in the Free Republics (with the group stage games being a double round robin with each game being played in the host nation), a team they had faced twice before as they were in the same group; Abanhfleft won the opener 3-2 in OT whereas Elejamie demolished them 8-3 in the rematch. The Icy Elephants finished top of their group, with the overtime loss being the only thing preventing them from a perfect record, before going on to steamroll their next two opponents. First came the 6-2 win over new rivals Anthor, which was then followed by the 9-1 destruction of old rivals Valanora. They met their match with the then-reigning champs Vilita and Turori but would go on to win 3-2 in overtime. And then, in their third and final game against Abanhfleft, Elejamie won 5-3 to lift the trophy for a third time and earn a third star on their jerseys.

Declan Madgwick Memorial Stadium, Davenport, WYKN


Home to the Davenport Dockers - the most successful team in the ENIHL (Elejamian National Ice Hockey League) - and the national team. Built in 1992 to replace Dockside Stadium, which was eventually demolished in 1995, Davenport Stadium is the largest ice hockey arena in Elejamie, with a capacity of 18,500. The stadium was originally known as the Davenport Stadium but it also spent a brief spell in the early 2000s as the Rapid Beer Co. Stadium. Eventually, it was renamed the Declan Madgwick Memorial Stadium just in time for the start of the 2015/16 season, in honour of famed politician and diplomat Declan Madgwick (1927-2015).

For the record: In the northwest of Elejamie, the term "stadium" is used for any building which hosts a professional sports team even if they don't play on a pitch.

HomeFiller Arena, Coventry, AVEN


Built in 1989, the HomeFiller Arena is also known as the Coventry Arena, especially in situations where HomeFiller isn't sponsoring the event in question. With a total capacity of 17,000, it is also home to the Coventry Puffins; the backup stadium for the national ice hockey and basketball teams; home to the junior and U-18 ice hockey teams; and home to the Coventry Nets basketball team. It entered a sponsorship deal with furniture store HomeFiller in 2013. The deal, which was initially set to expire last year, has been extended to 2023.

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose My Scorers: Yes
Godmod Scoring Events: Yes
RP Injuries to My Players: Yes (but nothing too serious; one person at a time and they can't be out for anything longer than two games. Killing is definitely out)
Godmod Injuries to My Players: Yes (same as above)
RP Penalties for My Players: Yes
RP Ejections for My Players: Yes (again, one person per game and the longest they can be suspended for is one match)
Godmod Other Events: Depends on what it is. Fighting I'm OK with but it might be a good idea to TG anything else.

• "Keh-reen Mah-loh-tahn"; "Payl Eh-tah-nahr"; "Ah-lah-YEHM Mahn ees-hoh-kee teem".
• Stacy Saunders is still a guy, if anyone's wondering. So, if you do mention him in your RP, make sure you say "he", "him" and "his" instead of "she" and "her".
• In the event that any of my players interest you and you want to sign them, please tell me which one you want, which club wants them and all the details. However, Bill Harrison moved to the Royals from the Dockers at the start of the season so he won't be able to be traded until the start of the new season (in September).
• Please get back to me with RP info by 10pm BST. Otherwise, I'll go ahead and put my own stuff in.
• My main enforcers are Francisco Solano, Lupe, George Lincoln, Carlos Sierra, Paul Morton, Ethan Swinburne, Pael Atener, Mike Keller and Bill Judge (who was Elejamie's main enforcer during WJHC8). The only players that don't fight are Pedro Cervantes, Peter Berg, Stacy Saunders, Cerin Meloten and Anatoly Kasputin. Everyone else can fight, just not as often as those first guys I've mentioned.
• Elejamie will wear their alt kit on MD1, MD7 and, should they make it there, QF.
• It's "Rubio Orosco". Not just "Rubio" and not just "Orosco". See below for why.
• Pedro Cervantes is Antonio's nephew. Not his brother or his son. Using the traditional Spanish naming custom (father's surname followed by mother's) it's Antonio Cervantes Nakamura and Pedro Moreno Cervantes; the latter went by his mother's surname because there was already a "P. Moreno" on the team. Even though Antonio's now retired I'm still keeping this up as I might be bringing him up a lot in RPs.
• Danilo and Felipe Barajas are twin brothers, with Danilo being the oldest by about five minutes. Peter Berg's younger brother George plays in the junior team; however, the two of them aren't related to assistant coach and ice hockey veteran Ron Berg. And usual second forward line left-winger Lucas Madgwick is the son of head coach and Elejamian hockey legend Michael Madgwick.

'The IBEX'
NEU ENGOLLON NATIONAL HOCKEY TEAM:

The Ibex and hockey in Neu Engollon

There is one professional hockey league in Neu Engollon, the NEHL, with an associated minor league. There is also a strong collegiate tradition in the sport, run by NECA (Neu Engollian Collegiate Association) and the NEHL pull their players from graduates of these top schools along with minor league players. The Ibex are all pulled from the NEHL, or Neu Engollian nationals playing in equivalent foreign leagues. Andre Manon and Ernst Volkzein recently retired from playing for both the Ibex and the NEHL and are in their third year of having the management helm of the Ibex. With the gold won during the last Junior World Cup, there is a lot of hope for the future of Neu Engollian hockey that they may get back to the glory of previous years and actually be able to compete on the same level as the top 10 multiversal teams.

All players are male, even though that's not always obvious from their names.

Home Arena: Lukla Arena, located in the downtown Lukla neighborhood of our capital city, Lukla-Namche. It's near the People's Court, which is our national legislature.

About the Sherpa Empire: The Sherpa Empire has a mix of democratic, hereditary aristocratic, and theocratic institutions. The aristocracy and theocracy are dominated by Sherpas, but the democratic institutions are reflective of the nation's diverse population. There are many different ethnic groups and languages. The Empire's heartland is in the Himalayas, but it also includes parts of northern India and Pakistan, eastern Afghanistan, and southern China. Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, etc. are provinces, their people are considered respectable, and they have plenty of political and economic power. Outlying areas are territories and tend to have a worse relationship with the Sherpa authorities. Because the Sherpa Empire has no history of European colonialism, almost nobody speaks English or any other European language. It is common to speak multiple languages, but usually people learn languages that are used within the Empire's own borders.

Hockey has never been as popular in the Empire as baseball or football (soccer), but the Imperial Hockey League is a well-established organization that has been around for some time.

RP Permissions:

Anything goes except the following:

No acts of war against the Sherpa Empire
No double-digit body counts. This is total for the whole thread, not per post
No large-scale destruction of property (smashing the front of a convenience store is fine; blowing up a whole city block is too much)
No theft or destruction of important cultural relics
No killing, kidnapping, sexually abusing, or severely injuring important people whose role is unrelated to hockey (e.g. you can't run over the Dalai Lama with your team bus even if it was an accident. Sorry.)

[Savojarna]

Media Kit for Journalists: Savojar Hockey National Team

Savojarna plays a game that is mostly depending on tactical discipline and puck possession. While the Savojars do value a good deflection or rebound goal, and certainly have many players who can do such things, they usually prefer a pass to a shot from a desperate position hoping for a lucky bounce. Their players think fast rather than move exceptionally fast (but they are not slow either!), with a few exceptions on the attack since the coaching changed and the team is a bit more aggressive. While they don't have to hide from anyone, they are usually not physically superior.

In terms of tactics, they play an aggressive forechecking with one or two men, trying to force puck losses, and drop back to their own blue line once the opponent has reached the neutral zone. They attempt to keep the opponent away from their own side, and defend usually quite solid. On the attack, Savojarna's top lines work with a lot of passing and cycling the puck to find an open lane while the third and fourth line play deeper and with more drive to the net. Especially the fourth line often crowds the slot, while the third is more likely to go deep and play behind the net. Usually, the Savojars play with 13 forwards and 7 defenders. The women's team employs significantly more offensive tactics and relies more on passing the puck around due to the less physical nature of women's hockey.

Goalkeeper order: Hoyman - Strakhov - Kerjanen, unless indicated otherwise.

Special Teams:
The Savojar team plays a powerplay focused mainly on shooting from the point and the circle. The two defenders play both in the area between the blue line and the top of the circle, but occasionally advance to the circle. The winger on the side of the puck moves to the circle to be open and get a shot off, the other winger moves towards the goal to assist the center in screening and opening shooting lanes. The center remains in front of the goal. In penalty killing, Savojarna lets the opponent play around the boards, but intervenes quickly if the puck moves inside the box. They play a PK with relatively little pressure.

PP1: Kristiansen - Toranen - Stefansson - Andersson - Bryzhnev
PP2: Falborg - Jarnström - Söderberg - Zagulin - Jaskinen
PK1: Asgeirsson - Falborg - Andersson - Jaskinen
PK2: Yarchenko - Glukov - Rasnikov - Neronen

Style codes:
HYB = Hybrid goaltender. Uses a sensible mixture of butterfly and standup styles. Average likelihood of rebounds.
BFY = Butterfly goaltender. Quickly drops into butterfly stance to make saves. Will concede more rebounds, but is harder to beat low.
DFD = Defensive defender. Sticks to the blue line and works a lot in backchecking. Blocks shots, checks and is hard to get past.
TWD = Two-way defender. Dangerous from the point and the top of the circle, but focuses on backchecking. Also good at breakouts.
OFD = Offensive defender. Usually a good shooter and passer, and will more frequently move deep in offensive play. Still is a defender though.
TWA = Two-way attacker. A forward who will be quick to fall back if the team loses the puck, and prevents odd-man rush opportunities.
PWF = Power forward. A forward who plays with strength in everything he does, but also relies on skill. The most allround forwards on the team.
SNP = Sniper. A forward who will score more goals than assists. His job is simply to put the puck in the back of the net from every position.
PLM = Playmaker. A forward who has good overview and passing, and will score more assists than goals. His job is to create chances for the team.
GRN = Grinder. A forward using his body to annoy the opponent, get or keep the puck and push it into the goal. Especially good at forechecking.

Who will...
Score goals? Rasnikov, Bryzhnev, Simonen and Stefansson are top league scorers. From the defenders, all OFD as well as Glukov may score. Glukov is a good shooter, and will use that skill regularly. The OFD may also move forward and shoot from the circle occasionally.

Amaze us all? If skill explosions and wonderful dekes are your thing, have an eye on Bryzhnev and Gulbrandsson. That brilliant cross-crease pass that leaves the teammate with an open net? Hjalmarsson and to a lesser extent Simonen got you covered. Finally, Hoyman guarantees spectacle in net.

Get into a brawl? Savojars are somewhat opposed to one-on-one brawls due to their huge sense of community. While the warrior culture is strong among the team, chances are that you'll get jumped by three at once if you hurt someone. All of the team know how to shove, push and wrestle you down (and also punch, if needed) shall you hurt their linemates. Gränlund is known to be a somewhat aggressive, physical player with a great likelihood to provoke goalkeepers with late slashes, push around opponents after the whistle and knows most dirty tricks in front of the goal.

Knock you out? Heavyweights of the team are Asgeirsson (197 cm/105 kg) and Yarchenko (194 cm/99 kg). Despite his size, Toranen (183 cm/80 kg) is known for his spectacular hip checks that sent many Savojar wingers to the ice face first. In the front, Juha Neronen is known for occasionally grinding people into the boards, and Jacob Andersson has pushed many defenders off balance in front of the net.

Miss curfew? Savojars love a good drink, and while they have stopped doing the tradition of sacrificial mead-drinking before game days, they still practice it two days before (to sleep off the hangover). In this tradition, players are expected to prove their strength before the Gods by drinking large amounts of mead. The best at this discipline tend to be Strakhov, Jaskinen and Rantanen. Gudbrandsson is a very attractive guy who likes going out, and most likely to get to know the female players of other teams a bit better. Similar is said about Stefansson, but he never seems to find anyone meeting his standards... (OOC: Ville Stefansson is secretly gay and you are open to RP on that. However, given the usual issues of discrimination in hockey environments, only his best friends on the team know. I don't know if I'll bring that up in RP, but the possibility exists and if you want to collaborate on that, be it by outrage or endorsement, feel free.)

Transfer abroad? Generally, players from Army teams (CASK, ASK, Torpedo, Aviator) are hard to get away from their team, but sometimes do if the offer is good. Similarly, Dynamo (the police team) is not extremely fond of losing players. But then again, since the 1990s players have enough rights to enable transfer of everyone.

Assessment Summary Follows:

Subject apprehended at Alpine Skiing Championships in Ciavno at NEDM facility in restricted area. Listed as one Walther Liebsgott, Austrak athletic official with delegation. Diplomatic incident with minimal international intervention follows with some foreign pressure. Last 2 days subject has been transferred from NEDM Militia Intel custody to Pine Park (Nat. Gendarmerie Counter Intel Div) to final NESA custody. Currently held in NESA secure facility in Geneve. Subject is ‘worse for wear’.

Confusion and frustration manifested, some recognition of counter intelligence procedures in evidence. Desire to sleep is constant. Initial visual, auditory, comprehension and relational assessment scores are all high. Subject is moderately compliant, but in verbal defiance and denial. Claims no affiliation with Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) or other intelligence apparatus of the Bundesrepublik of Austrakia.
Subject is highly intelligent, capable with no mental incapacitations or addiction tendencies or behavior evident. In different circumstances, subject is sure to be personable, in performance of professional duties and social situations.

Further in depth sessions warranted. Verification of length of treatment pending, but with longer term incarceration, subject should be isolated to basic cells for 4-6 weeks: Infrequent meal times, artificial light 24 hr exposure to light deprivation alternating weeks. Frequent moving between cells and sleep cycle disruption. No conversation with NESA personnel allowed but simple commands.
Resumption of sessions upon indications of mental ‘cracking’ or deterioration of emotional shields.

Subject should present professional challenge, but accelerated program should bring results and trust in time. Treatment plan pending approval by superiors. ~ KR

[Austrakia]

Current Day
Undisclosed NESA Facility in Geneva

"Hello Walther! How are you doing this morning?"

"I want to go home."

"I know you do." He said that every day. It was the first sentence out of his mouth every day for months straight.

"Then send me home."

"You know I can't do that, Walther."

"No, I know that you won't do that. It's not the same thing."

"After all that has happened, do you really think that a lowly psychiatrist on the NESA payroll, such as myself, has any influence on such a decision?" They had had so many variations of this same conversation, but they all eventually petered out as Walther was worn down by logic.

"I know it with every burning fiber in my body, Doctor. You have a say in my fate. I also know that eventually, International law will catch up with your bosses and they will have to release me. It's the humane thing to do. I'm not a criminal."

"Espionage is a crime, Walther, and..."

"How many times do we have to over this? I was not spying! I was set up!"

"First of all, you don't have to confess. They caught you red handed. Secondly, this is old ground, Walther. If we're going down this denial route again, I'm going to have to cut our session short."

"No. Please, no...I don’t...." He needed this. It was the only conversation he could have with anyone here, unless you counted the guards grunting at him. Then it was the only intellectual conversation he was exposed to all day.

"I will stay, but I'm afraid I don't have good news...or maybe you'll consider it mixed news."

"Am I being moved again?" The anxiety was evident in his voice. He'd been moved his first couple weeks from a small studio flat set up inside the prison, to a stark, brick cell, then just a month ago, he’d finally earned his way back to the studio.

" No, Walther, you can still keep your flat. This will actually be our last session together."

Silence and scorn once again. One thought one could be much stronger, with all the best training that the BND could afford. But being subjected to only sporadic shouted epithets and commands for weeks wore down the mental edge. It broke down the walls much quicker than one might imagine. Kasper had become a friend of sorts, or a friendly face anyway, despite probably being key to orchestrating Walther’s torment. It didn't matter why he talked to Walther, only that he did.

"I'm sorry?"

With panic, Walther looked up. Had he said that aloud? "What?"

"You said something about walls?"

"They're very thick in here. Why is this our last session?"

"I'm retiring. It's that time, now that I'm entering my seventh decade." He'd actually been pulled out of retirement in order to profile Liebsgott and prepare him for the coming months, or even years.

"A colleague of mine will be taking over your sessions. Her name is Dr. Celeste."

"Dr. Celeste...?"

Kasper smiled. "You know we can't share our last names, Walt. Nice try, though."
There was a possibility that he could be repatriated back to the BundesRepublik, so they were careful about OPSEC, which included names.
Walther had also never shared his real name in all the months he had been in residence, despite constant prodding to do so. So in a sense, they were even there.

“It will be hard to start over.”

“Well, maybe you can try to think of her as an extension of myself. She will have all my notes, after all. You’re not starting from scratch, Walt.”

Walther took some more moments, eyeing Dr. Kasper.
“Why isn’t she here now? So you could, you know, introduce her?”

“She’s not flying in until tomorrow. My last day is today. A smoother transition would certainly have been helpful, but we have to work with the circumstances at hand.”

“Hmmm. I see.”
It was actually not much of an explanation at all. There was something else at work here, but Walther could only guess. Kasper must be getting forced out, or the new doctor didn’t want to work with him, even to transition.

“I highly regard Dr. Celeste. In fact, she was a protege of mine and has done very well since we have last worked closely together. You will be in good hands.”

“Well, if you say so, Doc. It’s not like I have much choice in the matter.”

“Your cognizance of the situation is firmly in place.”

“Right.”

"I will miss you, Walther."

"I don't know how I feel right now."

"That's fair. It is confusing news. I hope you can look upon some of our sessions with fondness. I think we certainly covered a lot of ground."

"It's an odd time to retire."

"...So it is, I know. It's not ideal. I really am ready for retirement, though. The situation presented itself and I just couldn't say no. I'm sorry it had to be during our time of working together, but like I said..."

"It couldn't be helped."

"That's right."

"So what now?"

"This will be a short session." Kasper pushed the button to let the guard know they were done. "You're going to head back to your flat now. I wanted to tell you the news in person, though."

"That's it then?"

"That's it."

Walther stood up, ready to be shackled for the trip back to his 'apartment'.
"Well...then...Good luck to you. Happy travels and all that shit..."

"Thank you, Walther. That means a lot. I wish you the best of luck, too. I hope that your outlook changes so that your circumstances might, as well."

The guard entered and yanked him forward, slapping the cuffs in place. Others with a joining chain went around his ankles. Once finished, he pushed the Austrak towards the door.

"Whatever. So long, Doc." Walt duck walked out. "Send post cards. I'm running out of reading material in here."

Anthoran National Hockey Team
Nickname: Anthoran Ducks
Head Coach: Lucius Horn
Assistant Coach: Gabe Wilmer

Style Modifier: +3

Annual Introduction:

Returning for their eighth consecutive WCOH appearance, the Ducks are seeking to build on their progress and momentum from the last Cup, where they lost bitterly to new rivals Elejamie in the first round of the knockout stages. That early exit despite their strong performance at the group stage (6-1-2) has seen them slide out of the Top 5 in international ice hockey rankings back to our old rank of 7th, however head coach Lucius has made it very clear he doesn't intend to be there very long at all. A number of notable new selections, perhaps the most notable is four time GOY-recipient Lester Brandon who is the goal tender for the Earls will take over Aric Langely's old spot as the backup goalie, with Dickson Moore remaining the starter for the first line though that could change depending on their workout performances and training evaluations. In addition, Rannoch youngster and budding star center Scott Bebbington was also selected to replace Tyler Jubbs as the center on the third line; pundits are stating they believe this selection was a no nonsense decision as last Cup with Horn unveiling a much faster paced, more aggressive set of strategies, that third line was crucial for continually applying the pressure, but also for holding their own and Jubb's defensive skills were incredibly poor compared to his offensive prowess and Bebbington has carefully cultivated a good reputation in his two years in the AIHF for being a potential star two-way center; in addition to that, his speed is also a marked improvement and will be very handy undoubtedly.

Coaching Staff

Head Coach: Aaron KUHN (Stelburg Kings)

Aaron Kuhn is back behind the bench as head coach of the Goldhorns. The Stelburg Kings boss signed a three-tournament contract after the great performance at WCoH 35, and is said to be excited to continue in the role. Kuhn is known for his ability to motivate players, and back at WCoH 35, his timeout team talks seemed to bring extra out of his players and inspired more than one comeback. Now ranked 20th in the world, the Goldhorns enter the tournament as a team that has proven it is capable of playing with the best on the world stage, but are also still building and still developing. Kuhn’s style of physical, fast hockey has made this team pretty to watch, and the die-hard fans across the nation are hoping that our luck hasn’t run out yet.

Roster

Goaltenders
G -- Ruslan IVANOV -- 28y/o -- Admirala Pomorie -- #1 -- 8 starts, 3 shutouts
G -- Ventseslav VALCHEV -- 27y/o -- Kitare Trkev -- #30 -- 0 starts
G -- Volker SEIDEN -- 21y/o -- Eisbaren Stelburg -- #31 -- 0 starts

Ruslan Ivanov is the number one man between the pipes for the Goldhorns, he has played in some of the biggest matches in the national team’s history and been a key part of some major wins. He is described as an excellent shot-stopper, a hybrid goalie who can make unbelievable saves when called upon. Ventseslav Valchev backs him up, and is one of the best players on Kitare (Whalers) in the Ehrenliga. Behind Valchev is new face Volker Seiden. Seiden, who has been a big star for Eisbaren so far in his career, is generally seen as a future number 1 for the team. He might get some game time, but overall he’s along for the ride.

Going into the last WCoH, the biggest question marks revolved around this defence corp. A relatively inexperienced group at the time, the defence turned out to be one of many bright spots on the national team. Fabien Auer and Timo Horn stood out as solid defensive performers, while Bojidar Ivankov’s two-way play earned lots of admiration. 2 years on from that tournament, all the same faces are back for the Goldhorns. However, there has been some change in terms of lineup. Koloman Schwarzmann has had strong development over the past few years, becoming the number 1 man at Teufelsberg and certainly a name high up on the list for Aaron Kuhn as well. Players like Horn, Scherer and Ivankov are all a little more experienced now and it’s clear that Kuhn expects big things of them. Overall, the Goldhorns defence are quite physical, always willing to make big hits, but at the same time quick breaking out of the zone.

Left Wing
LW -- Kosyo VARBANOV -- 25y/o -- Kitare Trkev -- #13 -- 2 goals, 2 assists
LW -- Rupert GANZFIELD -- 28y/o -- Stelburg Kings -- #11 -- 1 goal, 2 assists
LW -- Alexander SCHNYDER -- 25y/o -- Teufelsberg Devils -- #7 -- 9 goals, 5 assists
LW -- Veselin FILIPOV -- 26y/o -- HK Olympia Borograd -- #15 -- 1 goal

Lots of depth at the forward positions for the Goldhorns, and we start on the left wing. Kosyo Varbanov was the top line man at WCoH 35, and two years on he is still very talented and deserving of a place in the team. He’s got a quick wrist shot, and is also a leader on the team, wearing the ‘A’ last time out. However, he’s been replaced on the top line by Alex Schnyder, who had a break-out performance two years ago, scoring 9 goals and assisting 5. The sniper, who has found himself always near the top of the Ehrenliga scoring charts and has a strong one-timer, will be expected to score at this tournament. Rupert Ganzfield returns to the team, he is always good to make something happen on the ice and can create chances out of nothing for himself. Veselin Filipov is a very good two-way forward, and after strong showings at the last World Cup could see more ice time this time around.

Right Wing
RW -- Razvigor TSVETANOV -- 20y/o -- Admirala Pomorie -- #19 -- 7 goals, 4 assists
RW -- Grozdan ADAMOV -- 28y/o -- NSK Zlatorog -- #12 -- 1 goal
RW -- Wolfram SPIEGEL -- 28y/o -- Stelburg Kings -- #17 -- 6 goals, 1 assist
RW -- Mihael GAVRILOV -- 28y/o -- Kapitala Borograd -- #14 -- 2 goals, 1 assist
RW -- Gunther BURCHARDT -- 27y/o -- Teufelsberg Devils -- #21 -- 1 goal

The right wing position is home to some of the national team’s brightest talents. Wolfram Spiegel once topped the Ehrenliga in goals, and usually finds himself within the top 5 in scoring. The Stelburg Kings man is a speedy winger with a great shot on him, and he’ll be looking to build on his 6 goals at the last WCoH. On the top line is the undoubted star of this team, Razvigor Tsvetanov. Known for his toothless grin, poor English/Teus/any language and fun-loving personality, Tsvetanov can also score goals. 7 of them at the WCoH, and he’s topped the Ehrenliga charts twice since then. A power forward, he uses his size to force past defenders, and his speed to break in on goal before unleashing a shot. He has developed into one of the best players in this country, and at 20 years old the future is bright. Grozdan Adamov and Mihael Gavrilov, both solid two-way wingers who can contribute on and off the puck, round out the forward lines while Gunther Burchardt is the 13th forward for most games.

Centre
C -- Gunter PFENNING -- 27y/o -- St. Jakob Saints -- #9 -- 7 goals, 8 assists
C -- Wolfram HOLTZ -- 25y/o -- Kaiserhaven Knights -- #10 -- 1 goal
C -- Edgar SECKBACH -- 26y/o -- Avangard Oktyabrgrad (NZEL) -- #20 -- 1 goal, 7 assists
C -- Gero RADULOV -- 24y/o -- HK Olympia Borograd -- #64 -- 1 goal, 4 assists
C -- Enyo NANKOV -- 26y/o -- Raketa Bukovets -- #22 -- 0 points

Captain of the team and its quiet star, Gunter Pfenning will have another opportunity to show his class on the international level as top line centre for the Goldhorns. A great playmaker, you wonder just how much he’ll benefit from having Alex Schnyder and Razvigor Tsvetanov on his wings. He has led the Ehrenliga in points the last 2 seasons, and is always a threat on offence. Behind him is Edgar Seckbach, another quality playmaking centre who plays for Avangard Oktyabrgrad in the Novaya Zemlya Elite League, transferring after the WCoH 35. Wolfram Holtz is back on the third line, he hopes to be more productive in terms of points this time around. Gero Radulov rounds out the fourth line, he is a great shutdown centre who will see plenty of matchups against opposing star centres. Enyo Nankov joins the team again, usually in the press box but there is always a chance he could earn more ice time.

The Triple Edelweiss jerseys return for the WCoH, with the light gold and blue being the main colours for these jerseys. Each of these colours represents Siovanija and Teusland, with the national flower featured prominently on the front. Writing below says ‘Siovanija and Teusland’ in both official languages. The team attempts to use each jersey equally, and of course avoids clash with other teams. The gold primary jersey, however, has sold more with fans and is considered the de facto home jersey.

The group draw for World Cup of Hockey 36, hosted in fellow Atlantian Oceania nation Anthor, has been revealed. Siovanija and Teusland are in Group 8, alongside:

Novaya Zemlya (4)
Royal Kingdom of Quebec (11)
Siovanija and Teusland (20)
United States of Devonta (36)
Schutzenphalia and West Ruhntuhnkuhnland (UR)
Maryloupe (UR)

Novaya Zemlya will be a major challenge for the Goldhorns, being the 4th ranked side in the world and a team that are always in the race for the WCoH championship. They will be tough to beat, and tough to finish above. Behind them are the Royal Kingdom of Quebec, a team familiar to the Goldhorns. The national team’s debut on the WCoH stage was a shock 1-0 victory over Quebec at the Stelburg Eispalast, which was followed by a 3-1 victory away to boost the Goldhorns’ qualification efforts. Quebec, now ranked 11th in the world, are still a powerhouse and certainly will want to defeat the Goldhorns due to this history. The United States of Devonta are another opponent, ranked 36th, while Maryloupe and Schutzenphalia and West Ruhntuhnkuhnland (we’ll call them SWR) round out the group unranked. The Goldhorns would be foolish, however, to overlook any of these teams, considering that last tournament’s Quarterfinal run was done as an unranked side. So, what should we expect from this group? Really, fans of the Goldhorns were spoiled last time around to reach the play-off stage in our first tournament. This cannot be expected to happen again; puck luck doesn’t last forever. Two teams, including a top 5 in the world team, are ranked above us and surely they must be favourites to advance. The main goal for the team in this tournament is to remain consistent, keep up good performance, and perhaps cause some surprises again.

TBA

The Goldhorns will play all home games at the 24,500-seater Stelburg Eispalast. The Eispalast, home to several important games from World Cup of Hockey 35, such as the wins over Quebec and Tobiasia, is known for its great atmosphere at Stelburg Kings games. This carried over fully for the national team, and the banners, songs and support from the fans were extremely valuable to the Goldhorns. An older-style arena, the steep seating allows fans to be right on top of the action and amplifies the sound. The Eispalast is located in downtown Stelburg, right near the National Square, and fans have been known to pack the streets around the arena at watch parties late into the night.
