What states do you headcanon play hockey, and what positions do they play?
HIA, it hasn't been 2 days, what are you talking about? Anyway I got them all down finally, I'm not gonna say they all make sense but most of them have a team so it's finneee...probably?
Jersey: Defense, left-wing
New York: Forward, center
Massachusetts: Forward, right-wing
Connecticut: Defense, right-wing (doesn’t play anymore)
Pennsylvania: Forward, center
Gov: Defense, left-wing (barely has anytime to play but tries to when he can)
Rhode: Defense, right-wing
North Carolina: Forward, left-wing
South Carolina: Defense, right-wing
Alabama: Forward, center (only plays roller hockey, college football offseason)
Missouri: Defense, right-wing (only plays roller hockey)
Tennessee: Defense, left-wing (doesn’t play often)
Arizona: Forward, right-wing
Colorado: Defense: right-wing
Minnesota: Forward, left-wing
Oregon: Defense, left-wing
Montana: Forward, center
I feel like most of these are self explanatory, like NY Jersey and other NE states, but others I may have to explain I think...oops?
Okay so, the Carolinas playing isn't really THAT surprising, they have a team (I don't know which state the team belongs too and I am perfectly fine not knowing lol), same with Tennessee, Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri.
Now Alabama on the other hand, football offseason, literally only roller hockey, besides ya know...violence. Hockey can be a very southern sport when you think about it.
Gov plays because once again, North East, but also because I have a feeling he would be very into the Washington Capitals. It isn't like he gets the chance to play often but when it's a slow winter day he can and will go and play on a lake somewhere with the NE states.
Connecticut doesn't play anymore because he is dramatic (RIP the Whalers, you will be missed until Carolina pulls out the jerseys again), and probably because of injuries or something, he's mainly just dramatic.
Anyway won't lie, this list is mainly off of vibes and whether or not they have a team. For example, California has three teams and yet it is impossible for me to see that man play any sport except maybe beach volleyball. Meanwhile Rhodey is on here and yet he doesn't have a team, I can just see him using hockey as a way to remove stress, it's therapy but WAAYYY more expensive.
Loved doing this one if it wasn't obvious lolz!
May i ask about your headcanons for states as kids, just whatever you want come up with, I'll share mine
I think a lot of the states had accents speaking English as kids
Florida would definitely just combine the weirdest food, if there's a weird food that every state is eating it's because Florida found a really good one and made it a trend
I personally imagine texas would sleep(or try to) in a pillow nest, his hair would also be very unkempt and his hat would be oversized
Gov has been overly professional forever and has made a fool of himself, i imagine the states were adults already and whenever they even slightly take him seriously they remember the ridiculous things he said as a kid and laugh
They all definitely commit violence upon each other, especially after Christmas with the bonk stick
YES YES, them as kids is such a fun thing to think about
States as kids
Mass and Penn were bitters, you get too close and you got 50 unknown viruses
Jersey is a forest rat
York and Jersey would swim in the Hudson, no one knows how they are still alive
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Oklahoma would go hunting together, yes they were about 8, what about it?
If Jersey talked too fast he would stutter or switch to either Dutch or Swedish, he wouldn’t notice the language switch until York told him
Florida and alligators, need I say more?
California was very food picky, most times Texas would cook something for him
York and Jersey would go between each others homes for dinner every weekend, York’s grandparents loved to introduce Jersey to different Italian foods, Jersey’s mothers would do the same to York but with Dutch and Swedish foods
Penn and Virginia would have other states watch Gov during the week, with Mass, Vermont, and Maine watching him on the weekends
Jersey and Del weren’t allowed alone, they would go onto boats and try to take them over, just two probably 7 year old's successfully taking over a British ship
Minnesota and Michigan would trick Wisconsin by swapping places, like the parent trap but with a fellow child and it’s just that child that would fall for it
Florida and Jersey would refuse to believe that English was a real language, when Louisiana came along, he too refused to believe it was real, Jersey was never able to convince Del that it wasn’t real but he was close
York and Jersey were inseparable when Jersey first met Mass and Penn, Jersey couldn’t really understood the English they spoke because accents so York acted as a sort of translator, translating English to different sounding English
I'll be honest, I could probably make this list way way longer but I think this is long enough, might do another list to get more of these down
