Joey Munroe

**Joseph 'Joey' Scott Munroe** is a main character in the Middling level NHLer/elderly hockey fan's grandson ficlet within the You Could Make a Life universe, which then became the *It's a setup* series. He first appeared in a SOTM (new) on Patreon on 23 November 2018, for the prompt "Elderly hockey fan to middling level NHLer: my grandson is also gay. And he is very handsome."

## Personal life

He is gay and was outed by a college ex, Zach, who had incriminating pictures and was a jerk in 2019. He went on a date with Owen after Owen's grandmother, Maggie Thomson, bid on him during a charity event. He looks a lot like his sister, Casey.

He went to a state school for one year on a full athletic scholarship, but didn't graduate.

He's best friends with Scratch and they became close when they were assigned to be roommates mid-season. His best friend in high school, Connor, was awkward with him after Joey came out. He came out to Scratch when they were roommates and it went well. He and Scratch started dating in June 2020.

## Playing career

He's a forward for the Kansas City Scouts, who drafted him in the mid third round. He played one year of college hockey, before playing for the Scouts' AHL team for half a season. He has stayed in the NHL since he was called up and was a rookie at 20.

He's a solid second liner and could even be first if he was on a non-contending team. He puts up points consistently, reaching 20 goals, he kills penalties, he’s on the line that’s out there in the final minute of a one goal game because he’s defensively responsible and one of their best bets for an empty netter to seal the deal. He plays in the 2nd unit PP, 1st unit PK. Following Brandon Simcoe's departure from the Scouts, he's promoted to the first line playing alongside Tate Williams

He makes 3.5 million dollars.

He wins the Stanley Cup three times with the Kansas City Scouts between 2020 and 2026 with the first being in the 2020-21 season

## Personality and physical appearance

He has four missing teeth, his top four incisors. In the thicc scale, he is **Medium!**. His playoff beard is patchy as fuck.

He's an ISFP. He’s incredibly hard working and he’ll do the thankless tasks. He’s super loyal, a great listener and does not judge. He'll mock his teammates but he'll do it with a lot of affection.

He's very self-depreciating and has self-steem issues, which were worsened during his relationship with his ex Zach.

He’s a great room guy – he keeps to himself mostly, he’s not the dude giving the pump up speeches or the consolation pats, but he’s got a nice word for everyone and nary a bad word for anyone.

His love language is Quality Time.
