During the offseason Jennifer spends her time playing in the IIHF and training with her teammates. Going over to Czechia gives her a chance to separate from Calgary and practice in a different environment for a couple of months. She trains just as hard with her IIHF teammates as she does with her teammates in Calgary, and her goal every season is to win a gold medal. While she has not been successful yet, its not due to lack of hard work. Her head coach @Troy_McClure03 always pushes her to be the best, and that carries through her effort in the tournament and over to the SHL season. The training itself is very similar to SHL training since everyone on the ice is an SHL player. A lot of drills, scrimmages, weights, things of that nature. At the end of the offseason, and the end of the IIHF, Jen goes back to Calgary refreshed and ready for a new season.

After last seasons performance, No Cheddar felt like there was no other choice but to train. Last on the team in points with only takeaways as the stat to talk about from his rookie season. Determined to show he's capable of more, he spent the offseason training alone, focusing on fundamentals and shot accuracy to make sure when he gets his next chance, he's not going to miss. During Cheddar's training, his conditioning coach called him over to answer to a phone call... It was the San Francisco Pride and they were taking him in this years draft. No Cheddar flew straight to their practice arena to sign his contract and get back to work. There's no better training than hitting the ice with best the SHL has to offer. Seeing the comparison in his new teammates to himself, Cheddar knew right away he was going to be spending a bit more time in the minor league before he could contribute to a team with this much skill and depth. More than ever now, No Cheddar will spending every free moment making sure he lives up to the expectations of being drafted to the back to back champions.

For Oliver Cornwall, the offseason is a great time of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and going for a couple laps at the Ole' barn. This year, Wolfpack and France teammate Louis Belanger @Popol made the trek out to Cambridge so he could get the full Oliver Cornwall offseason experience. We went to the rink, went for several fast laps and then hit the weight room to get the little winger's strength numbers up. I mean seriously, how can you play in the pro league and still only bench 135lbs? I know wingers are weak but c'mon man!

Anyway, the fellas needed to wrap themselves in ponchos and hide behind umbrellas from the hail of rotting produce which follows Oliver around when he's home these days, the locals don't seem to appreciate that he transferred to France, and then we will prepare for the Team France workouts in Normandy in the next couple of weeks!

Written Option 1:

AT-AT didn't take a lot of time off in the offseason as he was pretty focused on getting better for next season after a disappointing first round playoff exit. The Seattle Argonauts have a lot of players who take their games very seriously and the coaches encourage the gang to discuss what aspects of their game they want to work on, and keep developing that synergy between lines and defense pairings. AT-AT's defense partner is a fellow S77 Draftee Roquefort Cotswald - the two of them have a heathy competition going to see who can be the biggest earner and they have been consistently number 1 and 2 for the last few seasons. They really couldn't be less alike in playing styles - AT-AT is a big lumbering defensive player and Roquefort is smaller but more speedy and skilled. They had a decent first season together but are itching to be even more efficient and contribute more to the team. AT-AT worked mostly on building his strength and speed over the offseason to become a better skater. But beyond the skills there's also building synergy and knowing what each other is going to do on the ice, so they did a lot of drills during training camp and preseason practice to build that chemistry and communication which is so important especially for a team which has aspirations of kicking down some doors and entering the conversation for true contenders in the league.

OPTION 1:

Logan Webb's off season training typically takes him deep into The Dungeon. A Webb clan tradition dating back to Kain Webb's successful career.

Here is a personal Red Bull Ice Cross Championship course amped up a little. You have the typical hill, sharp turns, jumps, and the entire Webb clan joins in to create a compition. But for extra fun a few additives are placed in the course and they change every year. Making the course resemble something closer to the game show Wipeout once completed.

This years additions included: liquid soap on a hair pin turn, a rotating piece of ice at the top of the hill, an oversized hydraulic boxing glove that randomly fires across the course, a climbing wall that leads to a foam pit, and finally Kain Webb in full goalie gear is at the end to full on blocker punch anyone trying to cross the finish line.

This year was a family record on two concussions and three broken bones.

Option 2: Earlier this offseason Marek Carda wrote a letter to his mother explaining why this would be the first summer since he moved stateside that he would not be returning to Czechia for a week or two. The reason for this is because he was going to take a trip with his partner, Avery. Well, that trip has happened, and Marek now has a sparkling new fiancée. As he explained to his mother, while he had been feeling very comfortable in Philly recently, Avery is what makes it feel like its his true home now. The couple is excited to start their life together. There are no pets or kids in the picture yet, but we won’t rule out anything for the future. Marek’s parents both remain in Czechia full time save for a trip or two stateside every season, but the family keeps in close contact all the same. Marek is unfortunately a only child, although he does have a lot of brothers in the Forge locker room!

Will Tomlander trains in the off season with a group of Swedish players. He feels most comfortable being able to speak his own language and being home in Sweden is also nice of course. That way when he is not training he can spend time with family and friends. That is not to say that he is not making friends in Seattle, but that it is nice to be able to maintain childhood friendships and other familial ties by refreshing them from time to time. Of course, prior to season start Will will go to Seattle and train there in order to remove any possibility of jet lag, and to create more chemistry with the other Seattle Argonauts players. That way they can go into the season already ready and prepared, not wasting any game time to get up to speed and on the same page with the other guys, making their play together that much better.

Written option 1:

Brooklyn Physt’s off-season training regimen, rarely ever differs year to year. Like everybody else who has the honour of being a player in the simulation hockey league Brooklyn spends her season training with living with eating with and generally having a good time with her teammates and around team functions.

Because of that, and because she is generally a private person outside of hockey, Brooklyn spends her off-season, generally training alone, enjoying setting her own pace as far as what days she trains what exercises she works on what focusses she has and of course, how much time she spends actively training and how much she spent time she spends pursuing other athletic hobbies that can serve as a less directed and softer form of training.

I’ve mentioned before in both previous PT‘s and in locker rooms and just under general lower that Brooklyn Physt has an immense passion for any balance sport throughout the year in the summers it’s frequently to do with surfing primarily and in the fall and winters whether during the winter break or when she has the opportunity skiing This work on balance and finite control, serves as a sort of soft training in a way these are definitely skills that you’ll use on the ice but you’re not training them specifically for hockey. You’re just kinda out there learning how to get good at these hobbies and having fun.

Even for a professional athlete, family is everything. Unfortunately, the life of an SHL player comes with a lot of time in the spotlight, which isn't always the best for raising a family. Justin Time does his best to keep his family out of the media so that they can learn and grow away from the noise and expectations that SHL stardom brings. Intentions have a funny way of getting thrown out the window where kids are concerned, though, and two of San Francisco's loudest young fans have been spotted tagging along with their dad to the rink more and more over the last few years. One unnamed source even claims to have spotted the Pride goaltender in a local pro shop groaning at the sight of a brand new set of youth goalie pads and muttering something that he could not - or would not - repeat in public. What does this mean for the future of the SHL? Maybe nothing, but it seems that for some players, hockey is just in your blood.

Written Option 1:

There is no denying that Gibby has been working extra hard this offseason, from being invited to the classic, to training for the next season in Detroit, he’s been working hard. With this time, hes got to know many more people from many different teams. Gibson was always a goalie that practiced by himself, but with his new communities in the SHL and WJC, how could he not practice with some of them. During the WJC, he took a lot of practice with Erik Johnson, and Jordan Lafreniere. Both being teammates of his, even from different leagues. Some of his Detroit teammates Vasher Summers and Twinkle Toes have been working in the Detroit facilities extra this summer, prepared for what this upcoming season has to show.

He has also been working hard individually, whether it was working out at the gym, or on his goaltending. Gibby is a new goalie, and will prove he is one of the best.

Option 1:

Jussi Mutou has been very lucky indeed. Getting drafted alongside Xavier Beausoleil and playing a full four seasons with the Colorado Raptors in the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League has given him a natural training mate. Couple that with Beausoleil joining him in Montreal a few seasons ago and Mutou now always has Beausoleil to train with. Every so often, Jussi will return to Colorado with a few teammates from his Season 75 Championship team including Shadow Fenix, Brooklyn Physt, Nathangus McExplosion, Leonard Wood, Brandon Gilleyes, and Pinli Switchbang. Most of that crew doesn’t hang around too much, as they usually have other off-season plans.

Since winning that Four Star Cup in S75 following a grueling off-season of training, Jussi Mutou has always trained hard in the off-season. So far he’s had what some may consider a rocky start to his SHL career. But he sees the light at the end of the tunnel and knows that success is close for himself and the Montreal Patriotes.

Written Option 1

During the off season, I like to mix it up between individual work outs and team workouts as I believe both are equally important. On the individual side, I think it is important to have that time where I can focus mentally and really find my zone. Typically, I will reserve any cardio type of activities for my individual workouts; you will find me running outside in the city or on days where it is too hot in Texas, you will find me in the team facility on the treadmill. I also like to make it a point to workout with my teammates where possible. I think this off season time is incredibly important bonding time where we can establish some team chemistry with the draftees and new players before even stepping on to the ice. We are fortunate in Texas to have some of the best facilities, with easy access to the gym where we will lift together or hop on the ice and get some practice in there. Combining both aspects during the off season has proven to be extremely beneficial for me in my career.

Option1 :
In the offseason it is important to take a much-needed break and catch up on some rest. Once the season ends you cannot just jump right back into training, the body needs to rest and recover and heal up from the long season. That being said it is important to maintain some level of cardio through this rest. As you do not want to lose your cardio level or let your muscles stiffen up too much. I will normally go somewhere warm during the off season mixing in runs on the beach with a pina colada every now and then. That being said once the regular season nears and we start hitting July August it's time to get back on the ice and start skating. Around August I will hopefully link up with some teammates and we can start getting back into the physical grind of the hockey season and the workout routines. From there I'm usually one of the first ones at camp cuz I feel like it's important to get a good start from the very first game of the season and that takes all the extra wraps on the ice you can get. 185+
