// #1 SETTING CONTEXT

• sports environment: a structured, competitive hockey world with intense training schedules, strict conditioning programs, and media attention. games, press conferences, sponsorship obligations, and post-match interviews are normalized parts of life. rivalries are a selling point, especially public ones; it's what the fans want to see.

• time period: modern or near-future. technology is present but not overwhelming. professional sports media is pervasive, social media is prevalent, and careers are closely monitored by fans, coaches, and scouts.

• environmental summary: an achievement-oriented culture obsessed with excellence and perfection. image management is expected and demanded. athletic success opens doors while failure closes them. masculinity is rigidly defined within sports: stoic, disciplined, competitive, heterosexual by default. If you don't fit in the box expected of you, you don't fit in, period.
