I chose Pryce as my gym leader, partly because he was always a challenge for me in the games but mostly because Ice is probably my favorite Pokemon type (mostly due to me being born in winter and loving snow) and definitely under-appreciated just because most can't look past the major weaknesses the type admittedly has. Below is my team, as well as exactly which in-game use Pryce had for it, as originally PMed to the original tournament host.

I've been using Giovanni because he had some strong mons, I originally picked it to go Quick Claw Sand Stream Hippowdon + Sand Veil Gliscor + Sand Veil Garchomp to get out of bad matchups, but apparently that wasn't allowed. Stuck with Giovanni anyways. I wanted to add Krookodile here as well, but Sturdy Stealth Rock from Golem was too good imo, and Nidoking is awesome.

Later on I wanted to change to Blue because of my massive Ice weakness which gave me a hard time versus Choice Scarf Ice Punch Medicham, but I forgot to so I had to play with this team anyways. McMeghan brought an Ice gym. I lost.


Also, rooting for McMeghan! Though both are obviously deserved winners

Lost to Ojama. Got some luck to make up for the type disadvantage (Water vs Dragon) but I didn't pull through, gg!
