How does your character deal with the pressure - Matthias is significantly more concerned with whether or not he’s helping his team than with any particular award or trophy - sure, he plays to win, but he’s always thinking about what it takes to win, from himself and others. Being engaged, being “locked in,” is always going to mean more to him than getting a W or taking an L. And most importantly of all, he always wants to feel that things are going to be okay between his teammates, and himself. That’s what really matters. (I find this is a much better mindset to have, both for my player, and for the guy behind the screen, too - good luck, everyone!)

As for the off-season? No no, golf isn’t *nearly* extravagant enough for Matthias and the gang. Really, it depends on how much money the team brought in that year, and how much absolutely unhinged, extravagant expenses he’s racked up for them over that time - I mean, Diamond-encrusted fishnet hockey jerseys were on the expensive side, so he might have to do some side hustles to earn the team back its money in the interim - that hasn’t happened yet, but it could be anything from doing modelling work to becoming a pro wrestler to getting elected to high office and then becoming corrupt almost immediately, funnelling his money back to his team, and then resigning the moment the next season starts. 

That could be fun - and then there’s always that space station we built a few months back, that can probably earn us some money, too.
