A day off for Ruslan Zaporozhets? Early morning with coffee and a nice sunrise to greet him while he grills up breakfast. Next off it will be time for a nice walk in a park in Toronto. After that, what could stop this man from a quick workout? Staying fit feels good after all. Once done we find our man relaxing in a hot tub at a local facility, bonus points if said facility also boasted the gym he worked out at. Try to find the time to enjoy a nice mid afternoon meal before freshening up to hit the bar or a club depending on the day. Classic old fashioned or a dry martini with olive (Man loves his olives) in the bar or just shooters of Vodka in the club, Ruslan is down to party while he can. Bringing back a lucky lady is always in the cards especially now.

On my day off, Luke Thomason will be going to places in New york City, where the Manhattan Rage playes in the simulation hockey league, in order to volunteer at different places that we as a charity helped support. I would go to local dog and cat shelters to help them, or go visit hopsitals to visit kids that need a smile on their face. Or I would go and be on a mini vacation with the wife and kids. I have younger kids that are playing hockey themselves, so it would either be seeing them play in some of the developmental leagues in the area. or go down to the Jersey shore. Other than that its all hockey. Either helping my children practice themselves, or going to their practice and helping other kids get a chance to excel and continue their growth to hopefully make the SHL. My son is now 10, so hopefully he can make it to the SMJHL when he is of age

Man oh man, I have been hard at work and I finally get a break. I would probably go to the green and get a solid 9 holes in but preferably get 18. I like to golf during my free time because it keeps me physically active but is much more nice and peaceful. I also like to go to the batting cages and do live at-bats off of my cousin Jack Brady. He just won ROTY in the MiLPBE and we always have fun when we go at it. Brings me back to my high school days where I used to rake of him. At the end of the day, I use my off days to stay active and in shape but to get away from hockey. My body doesn't really take physical tolls but more of mental tolls. I have to keep my mental sanity to stay in the zone on the ice and consistently find the back of the net.

Having an off day is always super nice. It's always good to get out in some sun and just relax. That's something that I can actually do now that I'm in Los Angeles. It was a little hard to go out and get a tan in Edmonton, as snow glare doesn't normally give you any color! Enjoying the finer things in life, I might take a nice cigar and perhaps a craft beer with me. I also enjoy reading, so I'll take whatever book I have my nose in at the time, indulge in a smoke and a drink, and catch some warm rays. I can't really think of a better way to spend a day when I'm not out on the ice. It's not something that's a really popular look, but being a pro athlete is hard and physically demanding. Any time you can just take a "me" day and completely unwind is very important for your mental well-being.

First hockey free day in a while for me means three things: eating some home-cooked meals, reading, and watching Netflix. With the busy schedule of the season, I'm usually grabbing some quick food on the run to get to the rink on time. And by the time I get home, I'm so exhausted that I usually just have leftovers or head right to bed. But with a critical day off, I'll take my time and cook myself three meals and savor every bite. We'll start with eggs, bacon, and waffles, and of course orange juice and coffee. For lunch, it'll either be a light sandwich or a salad, which I'll also prepare myself. When dinner time rolls around, it's steak time. A perfectly cooked medium-rare filet mignon with potatoes and asparagus will cap off the day's fare. But it isn't just about eating - I'll also get caught up on my reading in the morning and just after lunch. I enjoy anything from crime novels to the classics and turning pages definitely helps me relax. After the steak, it's time for some Netfilx. A couple hours of relaxation time in front of the TV is the perfect way to digest and take in the last few minutes of my all-important day off. Tomorrow, it's back to the grind!
