Konopka also has a black pet rabbit, Hoppy, and maintains an Instagram and a Twitter account for his pet, who has relocated with him since 2006. Konopka told Fox Sports North that he never wanted a rabbit as a child, but a friend suggested one as Konopka is allergic to cats and dogs. "I can't help that I fell in love with the little guy ... the guy's pretty cool. He just chills around, has his litter box, does his business there and he's pretty soothing to come home to." Konopka also has a specially made hockey jersey made for Hoppy for each team he plays for.
