The offseason can be just as important of the actual season.  This is the time to prepare mentally and physically for the upcoming season.  For Lyle Odelein IV, both of these areas are equally important.  The physical strain that these professional hockey players put of their bodies is immense.  But the strain on their mental being is just as intense.  So when the offseason rolls around, they need to hit the reset button first and foremost.  Take some time for their bodies to heal and for their minds to relax.  But they don't rest too long.  Hitting the gym to make sure that they are in tip top shape and ready for the season when it comes around.  But also training their minds for the next season.  They need to ensure that they are ready mentally to take on the weight of being a pro player, a pro teammate as well.  Lyle takes his offseason seriously, especially just coming off his rookie SHL season.  He still has a lot to prove and this offseason, he made sure he will be ready to take the next step in his career.  He needs to be a better player on and off the ice.  His body and mind must be ready for what is coming and he will be ready it.  All of the hard work he put in in past little while will be on full display this week.  He knows what it takes to be an SHLer, and hopefully he has done enough to show improvement on his first SHL season and he feels that he has put in the work during his first SHL off season.
