Written Task: What's your player's non-hockey passion? What kind of project would they take on with 8 weeks off and nothing else to do? Is it something related to another sport, like trying to golf under par on 18 holes for the first time? Something with your hands, like building a whole dining set from scratch? Maybe you want to catalogue every bird in McMillan Marsh, WI? Heck if I know! You tell me! (150+ words)


The offseason has arrived and that means it is time to find things to do to kill the time until the seasons starts up again. For me, I have many plans in place to spend this excruciating amount of time. I have signed up to help run a youth hockey camp with some fellow SHL prospects along with both current and retired players. The camp will run throughout the summer with each class lasting 2 weeks and will be used to teach the young players some of the most important things to improve their skills and talent both on and off the ice. I also plan to use the little popularity I have to help raise money for various charities by appearing at various events to take photos and sign autographs. The offseason is seen almost universally as the worst part of the SHL calendar, but I think this time I will get through it pretty quickly with everything.
