Lyle just recently found out that this was actually a phobia, it is scriptophobia, the fear of writing in public. Lyle grew up in Montreal, a bilingual city where French and English are the two languages. Lyle's family were English speaking, with a limited knowledge of the French language, but they enrolled Lyle into a bilingual school as a kid and he quickly realized that he was far behind his fellow classmates when it came to his second language. Lyle was asked the first day of school to write his favourite words (in French) on the board, Lyle not knowing many french words just wrote words in English on the board and added a couple of accents over some of the letters. His classmates found this hilarious and all had a good laugh. Lyle did not laugh, and since then he has been afraid to write anything in public. Now playing in the SHL, he was worried about the day that some hockey fan may ask for his autograph, so he has recently been practicing. He has been seen signing autographs for random people on the street, all of which have no idea who Lyle is and end up very confused at the end of the encounter. But has been steadily improving, and will hopefully be ready if anyone ever actually ask for his autograph.
