Whenever there isn't hockey to be played, "Long" John Donair joins the other clients of his agent at Foster's Gym in metropolitan Los Angeles. Donair, despite his generally calm demeanor, likes to expend a lot of his extra energy by boxing or lifting weights.

"It's become a big therapeutic thing for me," commented Donair at a recent presser. "With [former LA Panther] Danny [Foster] nearby we can talk a lot about recent games and even go through a couple of workout things that'll help me during the season. I'm notorious for not working out in season to this point in my career, so I think the extra training has been noticeable my first year in the big leagues."

Donair doesn't play many video games or play sports besides hockey, but that's not to say he's strictly business. He enjoys exploring LA and watching all kinds of films.

"Well I haven't watched the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, so me and a few guys on the team are getting together now in our free time to knock out a few at a time. Hard to pick a favorite, although I did love Iron Man when I was younger. It was mostly because of the song at first, but I did read a few comic books and those were the best."
