Minnesota Wild center Zenon Konopka is a major supporter of concussion research and is willing to give both his time and money to the cause. Early this year, Konopka introduced a line of red and white wines, ZK28, and agreed to donate a dollar from each bottle sold to www.stopconcussions.com, a concussion/neurotrauma educational and awareness website.
