Buck Thornton is very happy to be in Minnesota. As a child, he was a top cross-country skiier and biathlete in Alaska. Now back in a cold environment, he enjoys spending his off time skiing and getting back into high-endurance sports. “It’s been a huge blessing to be here in Minnesota,” commented Thornton. “Not only is the team and locker room great, but I have the opportunity to do some of my favorite childhood activities here. Hockey, skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling. It reminds me a bit of home.”
There isn’t much in the way of “lazy days” for Buck Thornton. “I’ve never been much of a homebody,” says Buck. “When you live in Alaska you don’t want to stay inside. There’s so much to do outside. When the weather was bad I was usually in an MMA gym. I like the way they train and it’s a fun and exciting way to mix up the football workouts.”
“This quarantine has been rough. I’ve had to stay inside a lot. I’ve never really watched a lot of movies before, so it’s been fun to learn more about that artform. And Tiger King was definitely entertaining. Those guys are absolutely nuts!”
When asked what he will do for fun when he is called up to Honolulu, Thornton replied, “Well I’ll have to find something. I guess it’s time to learn how to surf.”
