My holidays were quite decent, but unfortunately covid decided it wanted to mess with me, so I countered it with my booster shot. And I’m trying to make Calgary the new Hamilton.

My holidays were ok. I wish there was more time to hang out with friends but alas I do not have any friends. I am glad I did not get covid but I wish the whole world would be better. I am so sorry for everyone who has covid. That does not sound fun.

mitchell van der heijden spent the offseason getting wasted in amsterdam with his pals before going back to hamilton to prepare for the regular season. he fortunately avoided the rona

ty to @High Stick King @EvilAllBran and @Ragnar for the sigs

Unfortunately I avoided COVID and will not get 5 days off of work. Other than that the holidays were alright. I'm an adult with no kids so it's basically like any other time.

Code:

Your task: How did your holidays go? Enjoyable? Miserable? Did you get the covid? Do you wanna just talk about SHL? How was the offseason? Do you like your team?

My holidays were pretty relaxed! Got to unbank to 425 TPE this offseason and I'm excited to see how the Kelowna  do this season. I also hope to hit my casino bets as well.

Thank you @Stadacona for the Chaewon player sig!

The holidays really sucked for the most part, but I got a house. It's been an interesting transition as we move little by little from our apartment to there.

Holidays were pretty alright. Spent a lot of time trying to avoid the family but didn't succeed, I'll just have to try harder next year.

Avoided COVID so far, but my parents didn't and my dad has had a lot of difficulty with it since. Offseason was very busy for us as we acquired a lot of new folks, but had to say goodbye to others. All in all, it puts us in a great position to contend so I'm excited to get underway.

Thanks to @DELIRIVM, @Moreorless89 and @ValorX77 for the sigs!

Still haven't got covid. I'm too juiced. Going to get my booster soon and then I will go out and increase my chances of getting covid, but I still won't catch a case.

Spack Jarrow spent the off-season training for three different sports now that he entered the SSL draft and was selected 5th overall by the Hollywood FC. Overall the offseason was a bit hectic but things went really well. Looking forward to returning to the ice for my 3rd season in the SMJHL. We still have a lot of un-finished business.

Christmas was a nice team, the entire family managed to get together for once and we had a relaxed time, just enjoying good food and drinks!
SHL wise offseason felt too long, but swapped team from NEW to SEA, so excited about that!

Thank you for asking. My offseason went nicely at home. We played some board games and drank apple juice. But all the time I am also exercised regularly of course after IIHF tournament ended for gold medal parties.

Pretty uneventful holidays to be honest, which is something you definitely want when there is a global pandemic or endemic going around. So far, so good, no Covid for me or any of my close family, can't complain.
