During the offseason, Melvin has one singular focus. Trying to keep his body from wanting to quit on him. Honestly at this rate, Melvin is about a million years old in human years, and he really should think about settling down and retiring soon. That is, before the brain eating diseases from slugs turn him into a zombie. So during the offseason, he really tries to stay in cold areas, and make sure that he isn't anywhere near where that bacteria is that has really done a number on his fellow moosekind. He also spends a lot of time just wondering about what life will be like after he finally retires from hockey. He's been doing it for as long as he can remember, and so he isn't quite sure what not being around humans for extended periods of time might be like. He missed his chance to settle down, start a family, but maybe he'll just find a nice group of beavers to live near instead.
