George Parros’ Off-Season Training

Jonas Hiller is facing shots, Teemu Selanne is skating and — Ducks fans will be glad to hear — George Parros is kickboxing.

Not, however, for the reasons you think.

Parros isn’t readying his combinations or steeling his jaw or even tenderizing his knuckles.

Instead, he’s sharpening his defensive skills, that keen ability to avoid being punched or, worse still, hitting the ice fanny-first without being punched at all.
