Hoang is always on call, his activities away from the game keeping him largely away from leisure time that send him out of the state, so Minnesota can rely on him to head to events on short notice. While he is happy to do it for the team, Hoang doesn’t like just giving away his time to the team if he has interests he wants to explore. He’s taken up hiking to keep his legs moving in the off-season, enjoying the quiet of the Minnesotan wilderness. Still, if he can get to the event, when asked, he’ll be there. To him, it’s an obligation he made when he signed his contract. As an ambassador to the team and an employee, he has a duty to help when he can. It always helps to get a team player out there to represent the organization, the message it sends is better than no one showing up.
