Former NHL forward turned broadcaster Jim Fox has been around the world in pursuit of the best wine. Here are his Top 5 wine destinations:
- Wine Tour on bike on the outskirts of Beaune, Burgundy, France
- Barrel tasting at Roberto Voerzio Winery, La Morra, Barolo, Piedmonte, Italy
- Tasting Class and barrel tasting at Chateau Lynch Bages, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France)
- Dinner and tasting at Savier Vineyards, just southeast of Calistoga, California, at sunset looking back over Napa Valley
- Anywhere in Tuscany, Italy followed by a glass of wine in the Piazza del Campo, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Lake of the Woods, known more as a remote wildlife habitat straddling Minnesota and Canada, is also a summer favorite of Los Angeles Kings center Mike Richards. The former Flyers captain has become an avid wakeboarder/wakesurfer at the lake when he's not on the ice. "It’s starting to" catch on, Richards said. "It’s relaxing to get out there with all your friends and spend a day on the lake."

Irish, Blues make midwest a hot hockey ticket

If a puck drops in Indiana, does anybody hear it? It’s a question I’ve often wondered this past year.
Last summer I started graduate school in Indianapolis, a place where hockey is almost completely dead. They have a developmental USHL team called the Ice, but most people in town don’t know the team exists or where it plays its games. As much as I enjoyed my program, I felt a longing for hockey and a team to root for while I was living in the state. I searched all over and the closest thing I could find was the Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team.
Now I had known Notre Dame had a team for years, but I didn’t think they’d be the only team in the state. So to get my fix, I decided to follow them and do some research.
