The offseason is a great time to rest and recover from the grueling challenges of the shl season and post season, but it's equally important to know how and when to start getting back into game shape so you can hit the ground running when the next season begins. Cormier enjoys his time off, but never really stops working out even if he admitedly does slow down for a little while. But in the last few weeks leading up to the training camp and pre season, he gets himself back into his regular season workout routine so there isnt a massive adjustment when he regroups with his team. When divisions are as tight as they are in this league, every game matters and losing a big chunk of games in the first quarter of the season can easily be a team's death bed when time comes to push for a playoff spot. Cormier and the wolfpack have had their slow starts in the past and they are doing everything they can to try and not repeat that again this season.
