Before we go on, we'll back track (for those who aren't familiar): the Day-Blue Jackets connection is multi-faceted. His wife, Ellie, is from central Ohio. The couple, along with three-year-old son Dash, makes its home in Westerville. Day is a member at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, site of the Memorial Tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus.
Muirfield Village is where Day met some of his good buddies, including Blue Jackets forwards Brandon Dubinsky and Jared Boll.
