Thomas Liebold usually spends his offseason relaxing so that he can prepare for the long and vigorous season. he often goes on vacation to help relax and get away from everything. he loves interacting with fans but it gets to be very stressful and he needs some time to himself on occasion so he uses his time in the offseason to take a vacation to tropical places where people have no idea who he is and do not care about hockey at all. this offseason he decided to go to the Bahamas. he is confident that no one there will recognize him there and there is not an ice rink within thousands of miles so it is the perfect place for him to take a break from hockey and to recharge his batteries. if he does see someone there who recognizes him he will be nice and take pictures or sign autographs but dealing with one fan is much easier than dealing with hundreds.
