BEAUTY, EH?
WHEN YOUR DAD WON the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman in 1982 and your mom is a former beauty queen and professional NFL cheerleader, you’ve got success structured inside your DNA. So it’s no wonder Lacey Wilson – daughter of San Jose Sharks GM and former star Chicago Blackhawks blueliner Doug Wilson – has excelled in her fields of interest. Although she’s a natural athlete who captained her high school volleyball and basketball teams, Wilson chose to follow her mom, Kathy, into the world of beauty pageants. And, just as mom Kathy won the 1979 Miss Illinois World title, Lacey has stepped on stage and come away with a pageant championship or two of her own – including Miss Illinois Teen USA 2002 and Miss Massachusetts USA 2010. Born in Chicago,…
LAUNDRY DAY
IT MAY NOT BE the best part of life, but laundry day is a necessary evil. While only the top-of-the-line industrial and anti-microbial products will ever have a chance of getting that funky smell out of your hockey bag, a simple dash of Tide or Bold can have your streetwear good to go by the end of the second period.

Chris Justice’s customers don’t think so. In the past three years, the 37-year-old owner of The Hobby Box in Wilmington, N.C., has become the Scorsese of so-called “box breaks,” in which he films an employee opening up other people’s trading cards. Using a handheld camera, Justice keeps everything but his hands out of the shot. At times, the action is furious. Using scissors, an X-Acto blade…
HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER
Nicklas Lidstrom Ever wonder why Nicklas Lidstrom can play 30 minutes a game and never look tired? It has a lot to do with the interval training he does in the off-season. Alternating between cycling and running each day, he’ll do 40 seconds at a high intensity and 1:30 at a lower intensity to mimic the shifts in a game. If he is running uphill or the tension on the bike is higher, the interval becomes shorter. If the intensity is lower, the interval becomes longer. Erik Johnson As a young defenseman, Erik Johnson is always trying to improve his upper-body strength. After all, those big power forwards in the corners and in front of the net aren’t going to take care of themselves, ya know. So in the off-season, Johnson focuses on his…
