That quick piece of wisdom was so cool! Thanks for sharing! I actually GET TO to remind myself every day how lucky I am to get to do things that I do instead of feeling obligated to do them. You made my Friday!

Very generous of you to offer a stick to one of us subscribers. Love your channel man.

[@cujoman1020]

I love your video's of the behind the scenes of what goes on in the NHL. You don't really see stuff like this and its really cool to learn your story on and off the ice! Keep it up!

[@oilersed3324]

Love these videos

[@deansmith6593]

Any opposing players that really got under your skin to the point you hated to face them? Love the videos, hope you get a lot more subscribers with the season about to start.

I tried out for a minor pro team in 1996 and they did zero concussion testing back then. Lol 😆 old time hockey 🏒 ha😂

[@v4v819]

I'm sure they did some concussion testing... But i know what you mean, they didn't take head injuries- back then- the same way as they do now. The concussions protocol now is a mandate in all major sports as it should be to protect the players! Because in the end of the day the players are the league!

[@dangraesser5341]

@v4v819 I honestly do not think they did any kind of recall testing for concussion. The physical wasn't done by the team.. they sent us to the doctors office of the person that would be the team physician. This was the WPHL in Texas. Western Profesional Hockey League. Pretty sure the commission was Brad Treiliving at the time. Team was the Austin Ice Bats

When you came to each new city at the start of either rookie or training camps, did you get to stay at a current players house? Or did you get to live on your own the whole time? How does navigating living situations work as a league journeyman? I live near you, we should 1v1 on the golf course before season ends.

@@Bubzp11 how much per diem in training camp if you can divulge thank you

[@Bubzp11]

Man I forget the daily rates. they used to give you a folder of cash at the start of camp all together... I believe during season its up around 100$ a day BUT at training camp they cover 2 meals during the day so really dinner is only thing u gotta pay for, so maybe like 50$ but don't quote me cause I forget

Great stuff as always! I remember you talked about the waivers process before but if you ever have time I'm curious if you can describe what its like when a NHL player gets sent to the minors. Do they instantly take a leadership role at the minor club, and how is the situation treated by coaches and teammates.

Really good video. Keep it up. How much politics do you think is involved at the NHL level? People have their "favorites " at the youth level and even choosing national teams. Is there a lot of that in the NHL? Or is it, hey that guy can play. I don't care who likes X player. Y is much better. We are taking Y. Thanks.
