After Harvard, Hartje went on to play hockey for Kiev Sokol in Russia, later writing a book about his experience in the former Soviet Union entitled From Behind the Red Line: An American Hockey Player in Russia...

And they may be having some influence on their colleagues. Lewis has become a chess devotee, although he hasn't yet matched the Klitschkos' prowess on the board.
