World Cup of Hockey 39 - Everything thread

[Kelssek]

The Kelssek Hockey Association looks forward to welcoming competing teams to this 39th World Cup of Hockey tournament. If you have signed up, you may begin posting your rosters and RPs in this thread.

Some basic rules
The winner is the team that scores more goals than the other team. Each team can have 6 players on the ice at any time, and players are constantly being subbed on and off. A team that needs a goal or two late in the game will often "pull the goalie" - sub the goalie off for a forward, with the obvious risk that this gives the other team a chance of scoring an empty net goal.
All stoppages are restarted with a face-off between the two centres. A linesman drops the puck between them and the game is live when the puck touches the ice.
Offside - the rink has two blue lines dividing it into three zones, the defensive, neutral, and offensive zone. A player is offside if they are already in the offensive zone when the puck is passed to them. Some video reviews of excruciatingly close calls might help this rule make sense.
Icing - the rink also has a thick red line dividing it into two halves, and two thinner goal lines. If a team sends the puck across the opposing goal line from inside their own half, this is "icing" and the game is stopped and restarted inside their defensive zone. The penalized team is not allowed to substitute players during the stoppage. In French this rule has a rather more descriptive name: "refused clearance" (dégagement réfusé).
Fouls are punished with penalties. Most penalties are "minor" penalties, where the infringing player is sent off for two minutes or until the other team scores. Teams cannot be reduced to below 4 players. If they get more penalties when already down to four players, they stack on top each other (so the other team gets more 5-on-3 time).
Some infractions include:

• Slashing - chopping the other player's stick or hands with your stick (sideways 'sweep check' or upwards 'stick lifts' are fine)
• Hooking - using your stick like a hook to slow down an opponent
• Tripping - Duh
• High sticking - this is the one that you most often see a 4-minute double-minor when it draws blood. Technically the rulebook says "causes injury", but blood's become the de facto interpretation.
• Interference - Checking a player when the puck is not is playing distance
• Roughing, elbowing, charging, boarding, kneeing - Bodychecking a player in an illegal or excessively forceful way.

The teams finishing in the top two positions of each group will advance to the round of 16. Match-ups will be determined by seeding based on the following criteria:
1. Position in the group
2. Standings points
3. Goal difference
4. Goals scored
5. Randomization
This is only for the round of 16; subsequent rounds will follow the usual bracket we know and love.

Rules and format
During the group stage, teams winning in regulation are awarded three points, the loser none.

Where there is a tied score in the group stage, teams are given one point each. A five-minute sudden-death overtime, with three skaters per team, will follow. If the score is still tied after overtime, Game Winning Shots will be used. The team winning in overtime or shoot-out is awarded the extra point for a total of two points.

Ties in the standings are broken in the following way:
1. Number of points (three points for a regulation-time win, two points for an overtime or shootout win, one point for an overtime or shootout defeat, no points for a regulation-time defeat);
2. In case two teams are tied on points, the result of their head-to-head match will determine the ranking;
3. In case three or four teams are tied on points, the following criteria will apply (if, after applying a criterion, only two teams remain tied, the result of their head-to-head match will determine their ranking):

1. Points obtained in head-to-head matches between the teams concerned;
2. Goal differential in head-to-head matches between the teams concerned;
3. Number of goals scored in head-to-head matches between the teams concerned;
4. Result against closest best-ranked team outside tied teams;
5. Result against next-best ranked team outside tied teams;

4. Game winning shot competition between the two teams, following the procedure described below. [OOC: The result of a newly-scorinated match between the two teams, with the posted shootout score reflecting the margin of victory.]

Games which end in a tie after regulation time
All overtime periods are played three skaters on three.

In case of a tie at the end of regulation in a round of 16, quarterfinal, semi-final or bronze medal game, there will be a 10-minute, sudden-death overtime period, following a three-minute intermission. The teams will defend the same goals as in the third period. The team which scores first is the winner.

If no goal is scored during the sudden-death overtime, there will be a game winning shot (GWS) competition ("shootout"). Each team must select three shooters to compete in the GWS. If the score is still tied after the teams have had three attempts each, the teams continue to shoot in pairings until the shooter of one team misses and the shooter of the other team scores.

In the gold medal game there will be 20-minute periods of overtime, following a full intermission during which the ice will be resurfaced. The teams will change ends. The team which scores first is the winner.

[Kelssek]

General visitor information
Kelssek is a country of soaring mountains, vast wilderness, natural beauty and frigid winters. Its population of over 153 million is easily stereotyped as a bunch of bilingual commie sports nuts. As a multicultural, immigrant society, it is one of the world's most cosmopolitan nations. As a leading tourist destination, Kelssek draws well-heeled sophisticates and grizzled adventure-seekers alike to its lively cities, unspoiled wilderness, organic local handcrafted unionized vineyards, and completely epic skiing and mountain resorts. Politically, Kelssek consists of a centralized federation of 12 provinces and one territory, governed as a republic under a system of parliamentary democracy. Its economy is largely composed of co-operative enterprises and companies directed by democratic worker’s councils.

Kelssek boasts high-quality transportation infrastructure, with the Velocit high-speed train system (map) being the most cost-effective method for shorter trips. Velocit trips between eastern cities like Outineau, Neorvins, Redswyth, Clayquot or Breton take 2-7 hours. Trips from the coast to the interior take longer, with 11-hour overnight trains that run from Outineau or Kirkenes to Burnaby, and a similar time from Latrobe to Ulyanof. The same trips take 3.5 hours by air.

Kelssek is a union of some distinct and diverse cultures, but in general foreigners will find locals to be laid-back, friendly, and to have very little sense of social hierarchy.

Money
Kelssek's currency is the thaler, written as τ (lowercase Greek letter tau) or t, which is divided into 100 pence (d). The exchange rate to Universal Standard Dollars is roughly 1 USD = 35d, or τ1 = USD 2.86. It comes in coins of 1d, 5d, 10d, 25d, τ1 and τ2, and notes of τ5, τ10, τ20, τ50 and τ100. Foreign credit cards are accepted and will work in major bank ATMs. Because of the merchant fees card issuers charge, businesses often impose a τ5-10 mininum to accept a card. There are capital controls in place but no visitor is going to even notice them unless they're going to buy a house or something.

Typical prices of things:
Pint of beer: τ2
Late night kebab: τ3.20
Dinner and drinks for two at an upscale restaurant: τ30-40 (tipping is not customary in Kelssek)
Souvenir stuffed beaver: τ6.99
One night in a backpacker hostel: τ10
Prices tend to be around 15-20% higher in Burnaby, Latrobe, and Kirkenes

Laws and policing
The legal age to purchase alcohol, tobacco, and other recreational substances is 18. The possession and consumption of all recreational drugs are legal, but their sale and production must be licenced; you are not breaking any laws by having a meth lab, but you are if you make and/or sell meth without a licence, but why would you when you can get it from a middle-aged clerk behind the counter of the government dispensary whose professional manner barely hides their judgment of your life choices. Firearms are heavily restricted in Kelssek; the average citizen can apply for a licence to own hunting rifles if they want, and a handgun if demonstrably necessary for their work, but otherwise guns are basically illegal.

Venue information
Laineá Arena, Alavaria (capacity 17,900)
Home of the Alavaria Vanorian hockey club, this arena also hosted figure skating and hockey events during the 4th Winter Olympics.

Alavaria is the provincial capital of Eryn Firith, a city of half a million nestled in the mountains of the Cradle Ranges that began as a logging camp and trading post. It is an important city for higher education, auto manufacturing, wood and paper processing, and a major destination for outdoor recreation activities like fishing, whitewater rafting, skiing, and rock climbing. It was the host city of the 4th Winter Olympics.

Federation Arena, Neorvins (capacity 19,200)
Home of the Neorvins Wolves.

Neorvins is the federal capital, a middle-sized city with a metropolitan population of just over two million. It hosts a large number of public institutions and museums catering to a wide range of interests; indeed it’s the more esoteric ones that are probably more worth a visit as the most famous art pieces tend to be in Outineau or Kirkenes. These include: the National Capital Exhibition, a museum of Kelssek’s social and political history, the Royal Palace Museum, which focuses on the former royalty and the Kelssek Revolution, the Parliamentary Art Gallery, the Bank of Kelssek Monetary Experience, which makes central banking as thrilling as possible, the Museum of War and Peace, housed in a decommissioned nuclear bunker, and Polar Institute, which educates visitors on life in the far north and the history of polar exploration. Other sights to see include the Parliament of Kelssek public tours, Queen’s Market and Guilds Hall, Place Paul Langlois, Shawinigan Gate, the Revolutionaries Monument, and pleasant walks can be had in Federation Park, Kieran Pearson Park, and Parc Elliot-Trudeau.

Aréna Saint-Jacques, Outineau (capacity 20,600)
Home arena of CH Outineau, formerly named Centre Belle it has reverted to its normal name after expiry of the sponsorship by a major cheese co-operative.

Outineau has an NsWiki article too. A major city with a huge metropolitan area, it is primarily French-speaking and a centre for education, technology, aerospace, engineering, and commodity futures trading. It’s also the provincial capital of Beaulac. The popular tourist things to do are to check out the historic Ville-Baptiste, the oldest part of the city, the lively and vibrant streets of the Plateau-Mont-Phare and Quartier Faubourg , look at art in the Musée des Beaux Arts and Musée pour l'art d'aujourd'hui, eat poule mouilée or viande fumée, possibly in a poutine, and go to one of the music, beer, coffee, literary, comedy, and art festivals that are always going on.

Maritime Life Arena, Breton (capacity 18,700)

Breton (Breçan in French) was founded as a military fort and the ancient Breton Citadel, which occupies the hill overlooking the city, is its main landmark and tourist site. Its large natural harbour is today used as the largest base of the Kelssek Navy, and the city's naval heritage is a major feature of Shearwater, the district across the harbour from central Breton adjacent to the base. Breton also has a large student population as home to three major universities: Dartmouth University, Saints University, and the University of Haligonia. Attractions include Granville Square, Keefe's Brewery, the Maritime Museum of Kelssek, and the deliciously fresh seafood offloaded at Dartford Market.

False Creek Arena, Burnaby (capacity 18,900)

Burnaby is the centre of Kelssek's 3rd-largest metro area with a population over 7 million, nestled between the mountains and the shores of Lake Konoha. The city and its surroundings is a mecca for outdoor sports especially skiing, mountain biking, and climbing. A walk along the Seaforth Park Trail promises spectacular views of the mountains, lake, and the landmark Sanoqua Gate Bridge. Junction Beach was Kelssek's first clothing-optional beach and its adjacent Khatsalano neighbourhood was a focus of the new-age counterculture.

Portage Centre, Clayquot (capacity 18,600)

Clayquot is the provincial capital of Etnier. Its major industries are agriculture and biomedical research. Its main landmarks are the 328-metre North Star Tower, always nice to go to the top of, historic St. Boniface Square, the Northlands Theatre, and the Clayquot Fort National Historic Site, location of a major battle during the Kelssek Revolution.

Public Service Workers Centre (capacity 16,500)
An arena nicknamed the "Pension Fund" as it was financed through investment by labour unions. Home of Colwyn Bay HC.

Colwyn is a gritty industrial and port city whose population is a shade under a million. Its landmark is the historic City Hall and Helam Square in the city's historic centre. Walking the Docklands Trail along the shoreline is a good way to get a feel of the ocean spray and to stare down some seagulls.

Bantam Yard, Latrobe (capacity 18,300)

Latrobe is a city of 3.5 million and clocks in as Kelssek's 5th-largest metropolitan area at over 5 million. It has a lively music and arts scene, two top research universities, and is a centre for the software, media, and auto industries. The Museum for Human Rights is a relatively new landmark just off Republic Square, the historic heart of Latrobe where visitors can take their pick from a number of brewpub and restaurant patios to patronize. The small shops, cafés, and galleries of the old city's winding alleys are a diverting way to spend an afternoon. Arts and culture sites include the Kelssek Centre for the Moving Image, National Gallery of Etnier, the People's Opera House. Nagorno Park along the Yalumbia river is the city's landmark green space and dotted with art sculptures.

Aréna Olympique, Langlois (capacity 20,100)
No Olympics was ever held here; the arena takes its name from its owners, the Olympique Langlois hockey club who are one of the most successful teams in Kelssek.

Langlois is a large city on the coast of Beaulac which enjoys a relatively mild climate. Known as a city of a thousand hills, its scenic setting and colourfully-painted houses of the Côte Rouge feature on postcards, while restaurants offering the city's trademark fish stew crowd the Promenade des Brumes. It is an important port and centre of Kelssek's shipbuilding industry, as well as for higher education and research, home of the Université nationale beaulacoise. Something else to see is the Gothic towers of the 900-year old Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Langlois, and there are also good wineries in the surrounding rural areas.

Eoilenne Dome, Mazinaw (capacity 17,900)

Mazinaw has a metropolitan population of 3.8 million and is the administrative headquarters for the bulk of Kelssek's energy and natural resources industries. Much to the architectural regret of subsequent generations, the city's first boom years were in a time when concrete brutalism was in fashion, though some appreciate the sense of high modernist utopia that characterizes the city's East End. Most tourists pass through on the way to mountain resorts or to view the glaciers of Icefields National Park.

Salmonwynd Arena, Redswyth (capacity 18,500)

Redswyth is a post-industrial city that is still home to a great deal of aerospace and auto manufacturing. Its time as the industrial centre of Kelssek leaves its legacy in the city's impressive Gothic revival architecture. Dorson Quays, the banks of the Northern Canal, and Eastbourne Road are the most interesting neighbourhoods to find nightlife and interesting shops. Other tourist attractions include Redswyth Castle, the oldest portions of which date back over a thousand years, the impeccable landscaping of the University of Redswyth, the Museum of Industry which covers both factories and the labour movement, and the modern art collections of the Great Northern Gallery.

Colisée de Saint-Rémy, Saint-Rémy (capacity 19,600)

Saint-Rémy is a large metropolitan city with important technology and software industries. It is famed for the historic architecture of its old city, capped by the Chateâu Bonsecaselle which was built to defend the river. The history of the city and its role in the War of the Crowns can be explored at the castle and for the rest of stuff that happened up to today, try the Musée du Beaulac. The Bas-Saint-Louis district has the city’s best restaurants and art galleries.

Lupinissia Place, Ulyanof (capacity 19,600)

Ulyanof is the provincial capital of Lupinissia, a prairie city built on agriculture industries (mostly wheat, cattle, and corn) and the Western Mutual insurance cooperative. Despite being a large city of 4 million, it’s known for a friendly, laid-back, country culture. Microbreweries and bistros are thick around Platt Place and the Lorimier district. The surrounds have got great spots for whitewater rafting. The ultramodern Art Institute of Lupinissia is the city’s newest architectural landmark.

Harbourside Gardens, Kirkenes (capacity 19,200)

Kirkenes is the most populous city in Kelssek, a huge and bustling multicultural metropolis of over 18 million. The city's character comes through in neighbourhoods like Little Ariddia, Bathurst Gardens, and Lancaster Hill. Fashionable boutiques and other opportunities for bourgeois consumerism are located in the Rosewood area. The 540-metre Panopti Tower is an iconic landmark, the St. Jude Market is a good stop for fine foods or a quick meal, Melbourne Square and Caron Street are where to go out, and the Museum of Global Civilization is pretty cool to learn about history and cultures and stuff. The Loyalist Fort National Historic Site is where the enemies of the revolution holed themselves up. The city also has a lively microbrewery scene. See also the street map, and the TComm Subway.

Northlands Coliseum, Vickery (capacity 18,700)

Vickery is a the provincial capital of Conryia, a mid-sized city of over one million residents located on a high plateau formed by the Cradle Ranges and split by scenic river gorges which are maintained as parkland. The glass pyramids of Legislature Square are a city landmark. The Strathcona neighbourhood retains much of its artsy and countercultural charm despite being increasingly subject to gentrification. The Polaris Distillery would also interest anyone who likes whisky.

Who's Who

Keeper
Tim Goldkeld is known more for his mop of curly hair than any professional hockey experience. The 21 year old plays for Blue Coast University. Although BCU has top tier programs, it is known as the biggest party school in the Vannish Empire. Scouts believe Tim has some of the fastest reflexes in Vannish hockey. He's good enough to start for the national team. Some of Vangaziland's best hockey players are still in college earning their degrees. Since hockey is a semi-pro sport in Vangaziland, many players work other jobs.

Katrina Bloch is another collegiate goalie. She brings more aggression that Tim. Katrina has stepped up to help her team when championships with late game clutch performance. Top tier international forwards will be the strongest test either keeper has faced.

Defenseman
Rik Skullkap starts at the left defenseman spot. He is known for his intensity, though he may be sloppy at clearing around the goal. He has a hit first mentality that may not always stop defenders. He needs to work on his fundamentals with the puck. Wilmer Wahlgren subs in for him at 6'3. Wilmer is big, but isn't the best skater when compared to the international level.

Daron Flake starts at Right Defense. He plays for the small school South Stead College. He shows better skating and fundament skills than his Vannish semi-pro counterparts. Entering the World Cup of Hockey is designed to draw Imperial interest in the sport to build the domestic leagues. Players like Flake will need to step up to make the geese competitive.

5'11 Sara Daganson is the youngest player on the defensive unit. She is most likely to lose her cool and draw a penalty. Sara is quick to respond to any situation she takes personally. This makes her one of the easiest defenders to fluster.

Forward
One of Vangaziland's best skaters starts at LW. Rashard Lee is more agile than any other Vangazi. He can be tricky to cover. Many wonder how his shot will translate against the best in the multiverse. Vannish hockey is in a development stage. The effort of a few talented players may throw a results the way of the Vangazi. The Geese are expected to struggle to compete.

Many eyes will be on James Banksson. He first played as a high school student but is now in university. Banksson learned to play overseas while his father worked on an oil contract. He is the best passer and shooter on the team. Key offensive plays will likely rely on Banksson. Each line is prepared for the center to sub into their middle. His status as a somebody who hasn't even reached college draws ire, even though he is an adult. Many feel he is privileged, on and off the ice.

Line 2 is also capable for the Vangazi. Milly Hellqvist and Khristian Duffy play LW and C respectively. The two both play for the Western Vangaziland Rangers. Milly can facilitate plays and create shots. Rashard Lee may be the best overall skater. K. Duffy is still quicker.

Many analysts think a tendency towards low shooting accuracy might impact this team's offensive performance. They will still try to lobby as many shots as they can to counteract this. Jonas Sundstrom is the team captain. He has the most experience on the team and still has enough skill to impact a game.

Vannish Motors Arena - Emeros, Vangaziland


The arena is home to the Emeros Sparks, a hockey team known more for Vannish history than modern relevance. Basketball and indoor lacrosse teams also play here. The crowd capacity is 23,500, located in the political capitol of the Vannish Mainlands. 'The Arena District' is the name for the surrounding area. Here you can find small parks, bars, cannabis lounges, coffee shops and restaurants. There are also office buildings and condominiums nearby.

*Stadium given for flavor since all games are in host nation

As if we needed another passtime, but here we are.

TJUN-ia has known of the great sport of Ice Hockey for a very long time. In fact current Secretary General Joe Gray is originally from a city that values the sport as it's 2nd or 3rd choice (after football (Ass.) and cricket). The IHT have selected some of the best players from the International Community to participate in the hunt for some sporting achievement in the world of sports.

As with BoF71 and WBXXXVIII, we sent a pack of coaches to Kelssek in order to organise the team. A potential head coach for the Ice Jags could be among these people.

Powerplay:
An 'umbrella' with Mirre, Wamallu, Aiamalod, Curumbah, and Buck

Penalty kill:
Either a 'box' or a 'diamond' with Haarstad, Aivimara, IJsberg, and Groenbloem.

The Ko-orenite league cracked down on fighting to speed games up. Don't be surprised if the Dragonflies don't respond to a call to arms - at the same time, Aiaros, Auvia, Haarstad, Hermanszoon, Autibel, and Nyan wouldn't back down from the challenge. Centres occupy goalies and defencemen, so it's usually up to the wingers to create chances and score. Defencemen are an anchor, used to pass the puck around in attack but not really expected to score often either. That said, the defenders that were picked for the team tend to make their mark offensively as well. Nedergard and Auvia have a mean shot from far away. Aiamalod and IJsberg are the quickest members of the team. Buck is certainly the luckiest member, stumbling his way towards the world's easiest goals - but those count too.

Ice hockey is a small sport in Ko-oren, limited to frigid Aerellen, the temperate (but cold) northeast, and parts of the unwelcoming west coast. Venues are limited, and Aerellen's largest venue hosts multiple games per day while the season is on, so speeding up games and keeping them plannable is key. Languages used by the team are Dutch and Aerellen (Ko-orenite). Aerellen names are easily recognisable, they start with vowels, featuring many Au, Ao, Ai, Ae combinations at the start of each word.

Coach: Paul Bremerton, 48
Assistant Coach: Joe Crosson, 58
Goalie Coach: Pete Peeters, 57

ROSTER
GOALTENDERS (starter in bold)
32 Jacob Parsons, 23, 5-foot-10, 175 pounds
Uses a butterfly style and quick reflexes to make up for inexperience with positioning. Suspect puck handling. Bremerton is starting him because of his preternatural calm.
1 Matt Peterson, 38, 6-foot-1, 215 pounds
Also uses a butterfly style, but now has the benefit of experience and is using that to make up for the slight slowing of his reflexes. He's here for veteran presence (and OOCly, to provide a smart mouth, lmao).
39 Yuri Evgenikov, 30, 6-foot-3, 230 pounds
Provides veteran depth in the event of any calamities and uses a stand-up style in contrast to the two butterfly style goalies.

DEFENCEMEN
First pair
3 Erik Weinert, 32, 6-foot-2, 190 pounds. First alternate captain.
Hard hitter, can pitch in on the power play, but usually isn't the point man with the man advantage. Provides veteran experience in addition to his bruising style of play.
5 Jill Sanders, 23, 5-foot-7, 150 pounds
Certainly not the first woman to play for the Stars, but she's certainly the scrappiest. She willingly goes into the corner to scrum to win pucks.

Second pair
6 Mia Chretién, 33, 5-foot-8, 145 pounds.
Can move the puck in and out of the zone well. Sometimes used on the front line during penalty kills.
7 Erik Weingart, 28, 5-foot-11, 200 pounds. Second alternate captain.
He's there for both hitting and leadership on the ice.

Third pair
18 Jack Bradley, 34, 6-foot-3, 205 pounds.
Size, speed and hard hitting make him a feared defender to go up against. Has worked on conditioning and strength to make his way back to the team.
52 Kirk Stephens, 23, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds.
Stephens is the offensive defenceman on the Stars, and often lines up as a right wing on the penalty kill. He's a threat to score a shorthanded goal.

Seventh defenseman
14 Chris Walton, 26, 6-foot-3, 195 pounds
Can sometimes play on the fourth line or a penalty killing forward if needed, but he's also an at-home defenceman.

FORWARDS
First Line
LW 8 Sylvan Turcotte, 33, 6-foot-1, 175 pounds. Captain.
Lefty shooter with the hardest shot on the team. Led his league with 58 goals in 72 games.
C 38 Nate Barnes, 25, 5-foot-11, 189 pounds
Best faceoff guy on the Stars, winning them at a 62 percent clip last season. Second in the league with 78 assists in 72 games.
RW Matt Davies, 23, 6-foot-2, 190 pounds
Lanky and fast, also with good puck movement skills, but can be relatively easy to get physical with.

Second Line
LW: 13 Cameron Granato, 34, 5-foot-10, 180 pounds.
A righty shooter even though he plays left wing. Provides some scoring punch for the second line
C: Alyssa Hannigan, 23, 5-foot-7, 149 pounds.
A great puck distributor, she often features as the first or second line centre on the power play.
RW: Calan Leftwich, 24, 5-foot-10, 180 pounds.
Plays well enough on defence to be on the checking line, but his offence keeps him on the ice in offensive situations. Could double-shift to the fourth line in case of injury.

Third Line
LW: 15 Jeff Tucker, 29, 5-foot-11, 179 pounds.
Has the versatility to play any of the three forward positions offensively, but his defence is suspect.
C: 16 Colin Yarmouth, 22, 5-foot-8, 175 pounds.
Plays a sparkplug style, but is still working on the conditioning and stamina needed to play on the first two lines. May not be able to play long minutes in extended knockout round overtime sessions.
RW:24 Ray Olendorff, 32, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds.
Plays harder than most. Is now much improved in conditioning, but meshes so well with the third line that he only plays on the other lines in knockout stage matches.

Fourth Line
LW: 25 Alan Donald, 37, 6-foot-1, 215 pounds.
Sarzonia's designated enforcer, led the league in penalty minutes 11 of the last 13 seasons. Has the national record for most PIM.
C: 26 Cliff Sauerchuck, 29, 6-foot-4, 230 pounds
His checking and physical play are what have him playing fourth line centre, but his ability to win faceoffs and distribute the puck are why he plays centre.
RW: 44 Terré Sombulier, 23, 5-foot-10, 170 pounds
They check well, and cleanly. That's why they're fourth line.

[Sarzonia]

Retirement was feeling pretty good for Matt Peterson. He and Kate Schmidt-Peterson were raising three children, two boys and one girl. Schmidt was a colour analyst for Sarzonian League Baseball Network. Peterson did the motivational speech tour.

Both had little need to stoke their competitive fires. Schmidt was a key contributor to a World Baseball Classic championship team as the Stars defeated Tarrentum in a long ago final punctuated by Peterson shouting out, "scoreboard!"

That's why the phone call from Paul Bremerton was such a shock. Even more surprising for Kate was hearing Matt reply with, "Fuck it. I'm in." She looked at her husband with wide eyes and an expression the couple each knew meant, "are you fucking kidding me?"

Matt Peterson gave Kate Schmidt-Peterson a look that she knew meant that he'd regained his competitive fire. His wife had the one thing that eluded him, that eluded the entire ice hockey team in Sarzonia.

The odds were against the Stars even being competitive with such a long absence from international competition. The likelihood that Peterson would get to live out his dream of lifting a World Cup trophy aloft was essentially nil. And yet.

Peterson was a realist. He was a blunt as fuck, curse enough to make a battleship's complement blush realist. One who hadn't laced up his skates in six years. Four, if you count the abortive attempt to establish a senior hockey league, which gave Peterson five games before the sporting goods store financing the circuit pulled out of the project.

But still. He had unfinished business. He knew it. Kate knew it. The kids were going to be a harder sell. Matt Jr. would understand. He wondered why Dad retired so abruptly. Juliana was going to be upset at Daddy leaving. Holden was too young to know what was going on.

Matt promised to Facetime every day so Juliana would be able to talk to Daddy. He could keep tabs on Holden. Plus, his mother Norma and Kate's mother Gladys would help with the children.

It was an itch that Matt Peterson had to scratch one last time. Even though he was likely to be on the bench more than he would be on the ice. He still had to put on the navy blue sweater at least once more. And now, he was leaving the comfort of Corcorran for the cramped dressing room in the Palestra.

Some things never change. Some things can't help changing.

**************************************************************************************

As for Paul Bremerton, the Sarzonian manager was certainly no stranger to being behind the bench in Sarzonia's domestic leagues, but managing a full on national team was a new experience for him.

He was going to shepherd a very experienced Sarzonian national ice hockey team through the World Cup of Hockey in Kelssek. He gathered the team when the groups were announced.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, until he heard the sound of a throat clearing. He looked. It was reserve goalkeeper Matt Peterson.

"What is it, Matt?"

"Not everyone here is either male or female," he said. "You might want to start saying 'team' instead of 'ladies and gentlemen'." Bremerton gave Peterson a look and then looked when Peterson slightly tilted his head to his left for a brief second. He looked and saw Terré Sombulier, the fourth line right winger sitting directly to Peterson's left. Bremerton then looked back at Peterson, who mouthed the words "they're gender non-conforming." Bremerton paused for a moment and then his eyes widened for a brief second. He closed his eyes, nodded his head three times, then the right side of his mouth inched up ever so slightly.

"Thank you, Matt. Team. We've got a tough draw ahead of us. We have the fourth ranked and 13th ranked team in the world in our group and we're playing them both to start the World Cup of Hockey. Even if we play our best hockey, we may be on the short end of a lopsided scoreline.

"That's part of life. That's part of growing. We're going to go out there seeking the full three points each time we play, but we also want to be realists. Fortunately, we have a bye after Matchday 2 and then we face Vangaziland on Matchday 4. We then face Trolleborg on Matchday 5. That scheduled does us no favours, but we will all be prepared leave it all out on the ice. All right lad-uh, team. On three. One, two three, Stars!" Bremerton then dismissed the rest of the team to get acclimated to their time in Kelssek except for Sombulier.

"Terré," may I see you in my office for a moment?"

"Uh, sure coach," they said hesitantly. After the rest of the players dispersed, the two Sarzonians then walked into Bremerton's office.

"Look, I'm sorry," Bremerton said. "About the pronouns thing. I completely forgot you're gender non-conforming."

"It's OK, coach," Sombulier said.

"Listen, if I ever deadname you, please let me know so I can correct it."

"OK, coach," Sombulier said. "Look, Coach Bremerton," they said. "I completely appreciate the fact that you're respectful enough of my story to approach me like this, but you don't have to treat me any differently from any other player."

Bremerton looked at them and nodded.

"I'm trying to treat you like I'd treat any other player. With respect for his or her," he said, then blurted out, "or their wishes. It might take me some time to get it right. Hopefully, I'll do as right by you as I can."

[Recuecn]

Reçueçn's First World Cup of Hockey Team

Reçueçn has always been a hockey-loving nation; its snowy mountains and frozen alpine lakes provide the perfect breeding ground for the sport's lovers and players. Yet until recently, no team from the allied states ever tested its mettle against anyone from outside the country. It was only at the XIVth Winter Olympics that Reçueçn finally sent representatives to find out where it ranked against the other nations of the multiverse, and was pleasantly surprised; a quarterfinal finish for the men's team was fairly decent, but the women won gold. Inspired by this success, Reçueçn has elected to simply send that same women's team to the WCoH. We will have to wait to see how well Reçueçn can acquit itself its first time participating in the tournament.
