The unsung heroes of the hockey world
Good equipment managers can change your entire world
Without these guys teams wouldn't function.long hours and no glory
Robert James Fischer Not at all bud
These guys build a relationship with every single player on the team and know exactly what they need every game of every season! Anyone can be replaced but once you've been with an organization and you have that relationship things move smoother
I couldn’t do this kind of gig that’s for sure
My brother and I spent 12 yrs working as equipment managers for some minor league Hockey teams in our State, the Indianapolis Checkers CHL Indianapolis ICE IHL, we earned two championship rings and life time of great memories and friends. Its hard work its very time consuming but boy i would go back and do it all over again in a minute. This video bring back tons of memories.
This is really a good human interest story. Love the behind the scenes view into the background of what keeps a pro team rolling along daily..
you probably dont care at all but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Lee Isaias Instablaster :)
@Xander Vance thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Xander Vance it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out !
@Lee Isaias Glad I could help xD
The producer of this did an excellent job showing behind the scenes life we all go through no matter what our work is.
Please do more videos like theses
Salute to these guys 😉
You guys are the unsung heros of the game as a fan I appreciate all your hard work you do for the team...thanks for showing us behind the seens...
this is just so wholesome. not just a team but a family.
Nothing will get done without this crew 👍
This is awesome! I loved this video. So cool to see what goes in behind the scenes. Seems like a cool gig.
Fantastic story, loved it!
strong piece. great work
these boys work hard!
That was friggen awesome
Coming from an Amerks fan, this is the best hockey equipment manager video out there
Good job boys
i love this
this is such a cool video I work for a team as a locker room attendant so when the guys are morning skate I feel that my job is done at leat for the morning still have the game get ready for
My skates aren't sharp enough. Do 'em again. My jersey smells during the game wash it again. My stall is dirty. Where's my lucky cup?
Vanecek and samsonov have grown up so much after this video came out
That looks fun
The boys looked baked lol
exactly what i thought
You're one of the problems that arose
They get like 2 hours of sleep
Exactly what I was thinking. Good for them.
My uncle is one of their assistants... for the record, I'm still a Flyers and a Phantoms fan though (because the Bears were the Flyers farm team until the Aves took them when the Flyers got the Phantoms). But, like half of my gear is Bears or Caps gear. Shoulder pads, skates, helmet, 5 of my sticks, one of my sets of gloves... I do like the Bears though. I can literally walk to the rink. (it would be like a 20 minute walk). I play there sometimes. It's cool parking in the players lot and seeing all of their cars and meeting the players and seeing them around town. Even though it's the AHL, they still get paid well and have sick rides. Not all of them though. And the locker rooms are cool. But we have to change in the away room or the spare. But I've been in their main room once or twice. It's HOT as shit on the ice though. I'm used to a rink not a stadium so when I play there I sweat my ass off. People think it's cold on the ice. It's not. The only part that is cold is literally the ice itself. This is cool to see though.
The reason its warm out there is bc stadiums are kept to around 58 degrees due to AHL and NHL standards of keeping the fans happy
@@Dodger24 Yeah I know..... That's why I said it... so people that didn't know..... would know.... LOL. It's all good. Thanks. As for the actual temp, I think it's hotter than 58. I would say the average temp of the Giant Center is hotter than that.
Stadiums are the worst to play in.. the ice is soft and the pucks don't freeze and bounce around
@@imilf2003 Yeah but don't tell that to people that don't play hockey. LOL. They have no idea in the difference between good and bad ice.
Which is exactly why the NHL uses a puck freezer.
I've played at CONSOL Energy Center, and you can totally tell the difference between a pre-frozen puck and just something that was tossed on the ice.
For the record, I play goal. I robbed Phil Bourque with the glove. So much fun.
These guys are absolutely #ferda
I never knew Dana Holgorsen worked in hockey before becoming a football coach. 😀 10:49
My Dream job
Go Bears.
I work at the casino up the street. I pass the giant center anywhere from 3am to 5am everyday on my way home. I will now give a tip of the cap to these boys during season as I pass knowing the are in there working hard.
This is an outstanding video. So much to learn about the process you have to go through before, during, and after a game. I work in a pro shop now doing things such as skate/equipment repairs, sharpenings, and profiles. I couldn't agree more from the remark about learning something new everyday. As someone who is potentially looking to forward my career path to potentially start working with a team instead of just inside a shop, is there anything you could recommend I do to reach out and try and find these positions? What level do equipment managers start becoming a necessity?
if you live in Canada, reach out to your local junior A team. Especially in the western provinces, earliest equipment manager becomes a full time job.
My dream job ever since I was a kid.
2:56, there’s always one!
What’s the best ways to clean goalie pants?
How do people get into this profession? After my initial contract with the Navy, I might look into it
Hi
How much do they make. I want to do this
I literally just bought the watson jersey featured at 1:42 on eBay 😂
What kind of hangers do they use for the jerseys? They look especially long.
ive met the whole team becuase i was on the ice after then praticed
Lucky guy!
This just in. Ilya Samsonov hollows his skates at 1/32" no less.
I've heard Kiprusoff used 3/16, Thomas 5/16, and Quick uses 1/4. How some of these guys can use that deep of a cut on soft pro ice is amazing. I'd be taxed by the end of the 1st if it was a busy period.
Josh Carter is giving me a strong Jim Halpert vibe
I get a huge Jim Halpert vibe from this guy.
Washington capitals farm team uses the New York rangers goal horn.... interesting
I know how they feel. In music, or in auto racing, I didn't need to be the star, but I was still in a position, and had to be an all-star for the people who were the show. They were the only ones who knew me, but they trusted me.
My face, or my voice had been on national TV, yet you likely will never know who I am. But that wasn't important to me. Hell, I even had a heart attack while working a race on TV. But I made as sure as I could that I didn't disrupt "the show". My wife watching at home didn't even know what happened. She just happen to realize someone else was where I was 20 minutes earlier. Rode 12 hrs. home, drove by myself the last 1½ hours. Wife drove me to the hospital at 3 a.m., surgery at 7 a.m.
You'll do anything to try and keep a dream alive, whether anyone knows it or not.
OK. But sometimes, like this, when you have a chance . . . ya gotta tell someone, right?
My gech was run over by the zamboni
LOL
Lmaooo
does anyone know what spray they use ti clean the visors?
I’m guessing it’s just howies visor spray
#DreamJob
What league is this
AHL this is the minor leauge affiliate of the Washington Capitals
I’m from Anaheim
Is this a two towel league?
Its a full time job?
Levis the 67 I’d say 90 hrs a week is a full time job 😉
Is this a college team or minor league or just a a smaller pro hockey league
Minor hockey league one below the NHL.
Its the America Hockey League, and like stephen Giannone said, is one level below the NHL. so, these are NHL players many of them.
How aboot the Hersheys squirts
Dennis Valdez do you mean the Hershey Jr. Bears?

These guys are way underpaid
