A Day on the Farm with Darryl Sutter

The Sutter Family farm - about 15 minutes Northeast of Viking, Alberta and where at the end of every hockey season, you’ll find the Head Coach of the Calgary Flames his true element.

[@tiffanynaidoo2003]

The story about how the kids wouldn't be allowed to play until the work got done, so they learned teamwork: It really reflects Sutter's coaching style. Doesn't matter if you are the 4th liner or the superstar, you need to play properly in order to get ice time.

[@jackhartmann1084]

Now it makes sense… 🙌🏼

[@owenfreelend1518]

Don’t care I am a die hard oilers fan and hate the flames with all my heart. But you can’t hate this guy. You guys are lucky to have him as your head coach

[@mikpopiel473]

Same but reverse loyalty. He had me even more last year when he asked in the presser “what brings this province together. Sports!” He had more after, but he is a Provincial gem

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Absolutely agree. As a young farmer across the border in Saskatchewan, and not terribly far away from Viking, Alberta in a prairie provinces perspective, I can resonate. Helluva guy from a helluva family.

[@deecee2174]

Oilers fan here. I got mad respect for Sutter and his approach to culture and ethics. Great man to have apart of hockey

[@davidallan2951]

Amazing family history ☆☆☆☆true canadian dream .....

[@atlasfeynman1039]

As an Oiler fan, I am surprised this was even on my recommended videos, however, I'm glad it was. Just don't get used to me watching many more Flames videos.

[@Lion_Heart_77]

My wife is from Red Deer and whenever she hears about the Sutter family she tells me how respected they are both on and off the ice, especially in Alberta. Most of her family farmed in Alberta around the Grand Prairie area, they certainly know who the Sutters are. My wife and I both live in the States now and it's always great to see Darryl Sutter on his off season on his farm. He is a great role model with a very strong work ethic. I like his style and character, he's a no BS kind of guy - Thank you for sharing this video.

[@eyetineetee]

Yeah better than the Byden crime family for sure

[@Alberta1stPodcast]

Grande Prairie is like a 5 or 6 hour drive from the sutters farm, just saying

[@4hq847]

I’m from red deer myself! The sutters are amazing people.

[@erickgarcia8333]

What a great man! Legend off and on the ice.

[@justsam7919]

On and off the farm

[@hillbillyrocks2448]

The best coach in NHL history

[@JinxDClown]

Such an impressive, grounded man. His stories about helping out his dad back in the day and that there are things around he can still touch that his dad touched which is important to him.......honorable man. Respect!

[@Sevastian_Donahue]

man its so cool how long they have had the place darryl is a class act hes the reason this canucks fan here also cheers for the flames

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Oilers fan. I can never ever cheer for the Flames but the Sutter family is a complete class act and so are Flames fans.

[@warrencbell3560]

Never seen Darryl smile so much. Truly in his element.

[@jdogplays1234]

I’ve never seen him smile at all 😂😂

[@coreymickanuik8199]

I have much respect for Sutter, great coach, was a good hockey player, and a great Albertan.

[@mrv6968]

This man is such a lovely person to listen to when interviewed at his farm. He is so in his element. Then we fast forward to Darryl in the locker room and you get the beautiful side of his hockey acumen. With a few expletives to make it more colourful. Love it.

[@jamest5407]

Thank you for this. Darryl is a special person, the Sutters are a special family.

[@calvee123]

Oh my, oh my. What a wonderfull story. These people, the Sutters are simply amazing human beings. Watching this video was so neat to see. Thanks. Incredible...

[@mbuckley3828]

The hand made bird houses sitting below the hockey sticks tells you no one thing is more important than the other. Nice to see him touching on family, community, and country and the deep regard he holds for it all.

[@tperry5117]

I have been a flames 🔥 fan for 39 years, I. I have never seen him smile until now lol

[@Wainfleetkx450f]

Damn that’s a huge farm! Love to see it in the Sutters name! I’m a farmer too and it’s so true about what he said regarding his father, you look at things all the time and remember who put that there and when. That’s pride right there brother

[@truthfilterforyoutube8218]

I really warmed to the connection to family and the history of the buildings around him ... I see many of the things in my life the same way. What a great soul .... God has given him so much !

[@carparthero]

i'm a tampa bay fan. always enjoy hearing about coach sutter. amazing how long he's been involved with the nhl and he remains so down to earth.

[@kawasaket]

I may be an Oiler Fan but I have great respect for Darryl and his family. My Father has a farm similar to theirs (only 2 quarter sections though) and I totally understand the value of living in the place where he grew up and is surrounded by the things that are in his memories of youth. Something special about only living in one place your entire life.

[@hockeyman1054]

One of my favorite guys in the entire NHL. Simply a down-to-earth, real human being who understands what is important in life and what's not. That is a pretty important distinction.

[@renorailfanning5465]

When he said "feeding the world" I got a tear in my eye. Go Flames !!!

[@drdesmo8489]

The Calgary Flames are truly blessed to have Darryl Sutter. The hockey and ranching history is one of absolute Legend. What a brilliant story here ! Thank you so much for this, Best of luck in the upcoming season 22/23 🔥

[@kellyevans207]

Huge thank you to Mr. Sutter for what you do. I have HUGE respect for what you do. Thank you doesn't seem enough. No farmer, no food!!!

[@bubkasaurus]

There are few words to describe the decency, morality, strength and wisdom of the Sutters. World is a better place with them in it.

[@str8gudz]

One of the real class act good guys of hockey. A real Canadian. And a really good man

[@serserrano1]

Love this guy. Anyone can tell how big his heart is all the while being a no nonsense man. In many ways he is a very good example for our young men.

[@darenm617]

He's such a great man and i loved hearing about the history of hid farm and family. 👍👍👍👍

[@kopenhagenkid]

Beautiful ranch

[@Wolves1967]

This is such an incredible feature. What an amazing man Darryl is!

[@cstomp1]

Big Blackhawks fan. Loved Darryl as a Hawk. Such a hard working player. I remember when he took a deflected Doug Wilson slapshot in the eye. The picture in the newspaper the next day was horrific and I'll never forget it. Great man from a great family.

[@spacenut58]

Way to stick to your roots Darryl! You are great for your family and hockey!

[@MrDeefleparde]

The video was insightful, endearing, and inspiring - just like his coaching style. Just finished watching another vid where a man asked Sutter if he was "expecting something special" out of Pelletier. He scoffed at the word (special) and said bluntly, "No." And then left it without further explanation. No wonder this man is coach of the year. Bring it home, Darryl!

[@dnl4ever666]

Can’t wait for Al’s gem of a comment that is expected to be posted soon🤣😂🤣💙❤️🛢🤡🤡🤡

[@daveanderson4386]

What a fantastic spotlight on the Sutter Family farm. The memories that Darryl shared are just wonderful and really resonated with me. Great job Flames TV team!

[@DogoodPOG]

Huge Leafs fan but I live in Alberta I had no idea how big the farm was !! What a class act I need to watch some Flames games this year

[@scottandrew8906]

I have so much respect for Darryl just based on his coaching and NHL career. After watching this I respect him even more.

[@RingOfFireCGY]

Awesome work. Best content the Flames have produced in a long time.

[@beachhutthai1288]

People need to be educated about where food comes from - Beautifully put. I wish every Canadian, new and old would watch that.

[@touchofgrey8922]

Such a joy to listen to a good ol farm boy. I'm one myself, I consider it a compliment when my customers call me farm boy electric. Thanks for keeping it real Darryl, here's to your farm being in your family for another century. Our (SK) farm celebrated 1 century in 2005, doubt if it will make another. TOG out!!

[@black4460]

This is what Canada is all about. Beautiful story I hope we don’t lose all of our histories … … my family has been in Alberta since 1864. First landed in uxbridge in 1852, from Britain and they moved west to farm.

[@MrPrincebass99]

What a wonderful legacy. When I was a kid in the '70s it seems like a lot of pros went home to farm in the summer and fall. Not so many now.

[@tuckerj07]

Respect. What a great man and a great family.

[@AndrewsArchives]

Much respect to Darryl.....from a Leafs fan. The Sutters are hockey royalty!

[@Coleworldyeg]

Iconic Alberta family!

[@bikeracer6045]

Way to go Darryl!! You and your family are so awesome!! All of us Albertans love you and your family. When you talk about your family, and your mom and dad, it so touches my heart man. I'm in tears as I write this. You're a good dude man. Your family and all you hockey guys are a natiional treasure to Canada. THANK YOU!!

[@lutherkayban2788]

What an absolute legend. Darryl is the best! (Pens fan here)

[@markherzog3435]

My mother was born on the high plains of Alberta August, 1923. Her father fought in WWl and got a homestead "halfway between Calgary and Edmonton" as my mom said. First the Great Depression hit, then the Dust Bowl. I'll always feel distant connection to those homesteaders. Good, tough folks who endured all kinds of hardships. In memory of my mom Isabelle May Lock and her father Charles Arbuthnot. Lock.

[@johnhein4851]

God bless the Sutter family!

[@orangesharpy]

Thanks for bringing two Stanley Cups to LA Darryl.

[@ClaytonO-fish4life]

We really got to know him in 04. This just clarified what we thought of him. The excitement in the city was nuts when we herd he was signed. Chicago was great, but he means so much more to Calgary than I think he knows. Really good insight. Thanks Parker. 👍🏻

[@canadians2214]

Of all the videos I watch, I can say this is the best of them all. I am from Edmonton originally, but I now live in Colorado. Thank you for sharing your story with us, whoever is watching. Hoping to see another interesting video soon.

[@esmaneV98]

5:37 the leafs jab 😂

[@dnl4ever666]

Despite that even if you’re a leafs fan you can’t hate Darryl it’s just impossible to hate this stud of a coach!

[@vargviper7192]

Never had much of a like for Darryl from his days as HC with SJS and his first tenure with CF as a DS fan. Softened a bit on him in LA because he brought The Cup to a good friend's team. This video gives me a good appreciation for him. Anyone who keeps the family farm/ranch in the family get all my respect. You can tell how much it all means to him. The community. Home is home and family is family and those are the important things.

[@bw6078]

Just a great family. A ton of history with the Sutters. Great to know there are still people like them around.

[@bilal2290]

[@mikecherniwchan974]

Fantastic story. The Sutter's will always be Alberta's Hockey Family.

[@mrnobody3161]

My Grandfather was a Homesteader in 1908 on the Reddeer River. My first time skating was on the frozen pond at the farm. Great memories.

[@jakebakker8224]

Wow. A true Canadian.

[@jjferary2381]

I really hope this is a sign that the Flames will make more mini-doc series ike this!

one of many reasons to love the great sport of Hockey. I haven't seen a coach this down to earth in the NBA since Jerry Sloan.

[@goodbadbill]

Greg Popovich still has his old school fundamental lifesty;e

[@mikekole]

I was flying with my wife, going to Banff for our honeymoon, flying from Chicago to Calgary, nearly 20 years ago. Darryl Sutter plus Rich & Ron got on the plane with us, sat in coach. John Davidson was on the same flight, sat first class. I thought it was in character for the Sutters to be flying coach. They were very nice to talk to at the baggage claim. They were going back to the farm. Really cool to see this video, and hearing him talk about what the farm means to him. Thanks for posting!

[@jrmacpherson]

I just love this guy. Great person. We are lucky to have him as our coach.

Love this channel. Grew up a North Stars fan and got away from hockey for a long time. The Sharks got me back into hockey but have liked the Flames for many years. Wanted to move there a few years ago so in the process I became a diehard Calgary Flames fan.

Hockey aside, Mr. Sutter is a good man. We need more men like him today. ..and yes we absolutely need to educate many about farming !
