In the offseason, once all the international stuff is done, Louise St. Martin retreats to her home in Switzerland. It's not an avoidance strategy to get away from rabid fans, far from it; if she runs into any she's very courteous and understanding. But after a full season of high-intensity hockey, plus the World Championship and the absolute pressure cooker that is, she just wants a break. And it's not just the hockey during the season that exhausts her, there's also community work and her side hustles. All of that takes a lot out of you. If someone needs to get like, groceries or something, usually she'll send her wife to go get those, and she only really goes out in public if it's together, or a special occasion, or running her hockey academy in Geneva. Burnout is very, very real. Let's not burn out even further.
