During the offseason, Miguel travels back to Mexico for his family reunion on his Mom’ side of the family. Despite his public relations blunder earlier in the season, Miguel is kind of a Momma’s boy and he’d have to do something really bad for her to get too mad at him and not let him back in the house. Not only that, but family is huge in Mexico, and even if he’s playing some weird sport that involves ice skating and not football (not the American kind!) his family is pretty forgiving. In fact Miguel spends a lot of time explaining the sport of ice hockey to his Mexican family, since its relatively unknown there. And of course nothing says family like eating tons of delicious food that his Mom and other relatives cook, so Miguel is probably going to have to spend some extra time in the gym when he gets back to St. Louis to work of those extra pounds. The worst thing was having to avoid all those awkward conversations about if he has a girlfriend and trying to set him up with a friend’s daughter.
