For Ben Turska, life off the ice is not as exciting as fans may have hoped.

Turska's favorite activity is playing with his dog, Wrigley. Everyday after practice or before a game, Turska takes Wrigley on a walk around the block. On some days if Wrigley is in the mood, Turska will ride his bike alongside the dog.

When there is no game going on at night, Turska and his teammates like to go to the local bars and enjoy the night out. Usually, Turska and the boys will play darts or shoot pool and play for cash prizes.

If there is no one to go out with for the night, Turska will often hook up the ol' Nintendo 64 and replay some of his favorite games from when he was young. Without a doubt Turska's favorite game is Banjo-Kazooie. When we asked how many times he has beat in the game, Turska told us that it was too many to count.

Now, being on the ice so much one would not expect a player like Turska to cook much. But to the surprise of many, Turska prides himself on his cooking abilities. Sometimes in the locker room, Turska will bring in a large meal that he made the night from before. Whether it is lobster, steak, or a combination of many things, Turska believes he can cook with the best of them.

It may not be an exciting life off the ice for Ben Turska, but it is one he enjoys and he hopes that everyone enjoyed seeing this aspect of his life.
