For the first time in his young career, Levin did not go back to Pratteln this off-season - at least, not for long. After 2 weeks to visit family and friends, he returned to North America to do some off-season training with the new development coach of the San Francisco Pride, newly retired goalie Caleb Hayden. A few of the young guns of the team, such as newly acquired Mercedes Baylé, and fellow draftees Logan Webb and Dominik Winters, were also present for some guidance on how to approach this coming season, and how to better refine their play-style. Levin worked hardest on physical conditioning, and he felt that at the end of the camp, he had a bigger spring in his first steps when accelerating, and his puck possession skills were also getting better. He hopes this could help Great Falls recover from last season, when nothing was going right - but he also knows the division for the upcoming season will be very competitive... As he's now one of the oldest players on the Grizzlies, his teammates voted him to be the team captain for this season. Levin was humbled by this vote of confidence, and swore to do everything in his power to help out the franchise.
