NHL Hall-of-Famer Turns Attention to Triathlon

Pat LaFontaine, who retired from hockey because of post-concussion syndrome, completed Ironman Florida in 13:06:49 last November. The 39-year-old has been cycling around the hills of Long Island for the past decade.

“I promised myself I would do an Ironman before I was 40,” he said. “If you can’t keep a promise to yourself, who can you keep one to?”

In the process, he and two racing buddies also raised $33,000 for his charity foundation: Companions in Courage. The foundation's goal is to build interactive playrooms in children's hospitals.
