Not just 25 players win the Stanley Cup. An entire well-greased and competent group of individuals behind the scenes are the un-sung heroes. Great video of some of these un-sung heroes.

Incredible to see all that goes on behind the scene. Paul Boyer and team do an amazing job and work an unbelievable schedule in support of the team.

I do this for a university hockey team. Enjoy watching these types of videos to see what the end goal for equipment staff is.

Being a former player, I have all the respect in the world for these guys!

Great presentation. Love hearing the raw live sound rather than loud stock music.

These guys never really stop working except maybe having some time off during the off-season. None of this video shows how much extra work they need to do for home games, as they are not only responsible for doing their own team's laundry, but also the opposing teams' laundry. They are also responsible for doing jersey setups, equipment repairs and ordering, plus ensuring they pack extra spare equipment for all road trips. The sheer number of total hours per season they are probably on their feet just sharpening skates must be incalculable.

This is fascinating - I love the behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at other aspects of the organization rather than just the on-ice product. Keep it coming!

You wanna see what the hardest jobs in hockey looks like?.. This is it. Tons of respect for the amount of time and precision these guys put in.

Attention to detail. Well done, boys!

Unsung hero's of the game! Great job gentlemen!

This is so cool!! I flew out to Tampa on that Friday (March 4) to watch the lighting game, then drove out to sunrise the following day to see the game against Florida. I had no idea this was being filmed.

I've always liked the equipment staff's perspective. There are a thousand tiny details that they execute flawlessly in order to make sure the players are able to perform to their highest levels.

This was incredible to see and get a new perspective on! I don’t think I can watch a hockey game the same way again, and I wouldn’t want to. Mad respect for what these guys do for the team. LGRW!!

I worked for the Ducks for three years. Brings back a lot of memories.

Best job ever eh, travelling with boys, helpin them out, contributin for team, chillin, watchin hockey! Man that's awesome right!

Obsolutly a very awesome video and a great idea to do it. I knew it was rough but had no idea how grueling and late they have to work at times. Thanks guys for keeping the team going

Truly, the unsung heroes of Hockeytown! ❤🏒

forward red wings for the 2022 season, greetings from Poland

So awesome to see Boyer and the squad in action! 🐙🐙🐙

Treated so well. Endless sticks, skates, and gloves. every players dream. I wish someone would ask Larkin why he switches between Bauer and CCM sticks like every month lol

Best part of the Wings team. 😂 Thank God the players have dry gloves in between shifts, seems to be working for them. In all seriousness, those guys do a great job and are true professionals.

That weather looks so nice

As someone who personally knows Boyer, this is really cool to see. Amazing guy and does a wonderful job with everything he does. He was in charge of getting our equipment designed and made for my team when I used to play. Thanks for everything Paul.

I thought I appreciated the work these guys do.. I was wrong, I had no idea how much they do!!!

For some reason growing up a little boy in 1990’s Utah, the Detroit Redwings home games where ALWAYS on our cable TV, so of course I grew up a big redwings fan.

Best video on social media is the penguins mobbing the equipment manager for the quick stick change/goal by Sid. Shows the respect players have for you guys.

This is cool - nice to see the behind-the-scenes stuff and the unsung heroes!

I love behind the scenes content! Please more of that (:

Wow it’s great to see all the work the equipment personnel has to do way before a game even begins thanks for sharing

That was incredible! 👍

Kudos to all the staff! You all are working HARD

The unsung heroes of the hockey world!!

As sharp a team behind the benches as they have on it! Keep up these behind the scenes vids!

Love this !! It's all these type of guys on all the team that keep everything running. Behind the scenes stars. 👊

WOW! Long days for the equipment guys. Thank' you for all of your hard work and support for the team.

S-P-O-I-L-E-D JK. Awesome work to everyone involved.

This is the stuff you never think about thar goes into a team on the road. We appreciate your hard work

Great video. I enjoyed watching it. That is so interesting how teams get ready for away games.

Seems like difficult work - tons of detail and responsiveness required but repetitive, up late, lots of travel. Thanks for the honest look into this process.

What a contrast between being a pro hockey player and a typical beer league warrior. One of my beer league teammates forgot a single shinguard so taped a stack of folded newspaper/flyers to his leg that he found in the rink lobby in order to play that night. No equipment staff to attend to our needs on our team.

This is a dream job 😍 to be around equipment all day would be amazing

Hope the team appreciates these guys!!!

Very interesting video. That's a lot of work to deal with like uniforms, skates, etc. The equipment guys are the unsung heroes of the hockey teams. Much appreciated.

So awesome, thanks for sharing!

Man I tell you, so much stuff to get ready for the boys! These guys work their asses off!

Y’all are the vibes ❤️

Your sights and sounds stuff is interesting! Excited for the Winged Wheel to be back

Making sure all the equipment shows up is just as important as the player themselves showing up 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Love watching these! Dream job to be honest!

Ok, it’s look very incredible! Gods job guys!

I can't wait for this season

Great job on the video- well done not overproduced with a pointless music bed.

Man it’s a lot of work and crazy hours but so cool. Every guy would love that job

Great insight. Looks easy but that’s what makes it hard.

very informative .Please do more behind the scene

More videos like this please. 👌

very cool process video

Love the behind the scenes videos. Now you know why the equipment managers raise the cup when their team wins!!!

Great Video, well done so interesting

Love the miller light

Must be the best job ever to bring the team there bags and gear

Great content!

I would love this job!!

These equipment manager vlogs are infinitely more interesting than "a day in the life of" players one.

Greatest video of all time

Equipment managers and trainers are some of the hardest working folks in any pro league!!!

The unsung heroes of the game

1:24 Love that word mark logo

This was a great video, nice to learn what happens behind the scenes. Questions: - How much an equipment manager make? It seems to me that you do more work and have a bigger impact on teams success than some of the players in the team. - When is the gear washed? My son used to play hockey and his gear just stunk and it was next to impossible to get rid of the smell. - You ever make mistakes like misplace someone's gear? How to those players making millions take it?

Love the Springsteen playing!

Sweet job.

I do this for my local junior team. Tape, skates etc. I usually stay behind and watch the guys shower for 45 mins, make sure they have enough shampoo and conditioner. Tons of bird watching plus I always pack the bags.

This was nice 👌🏼

LETS GO WINGS..We're ready for a great season. Even if we don't make the playoffs and we're moving forward like everyone in the league and the hockey world knows we are trust trust me we're all proud of our red wings each and every one of you guys, from AHL affiliate, to every coach, and scout.. Boys are doing a fantastic job/Bang up job...LETS GO BOIES!!!!!!!

Wow - respect!!

Super cool

Watching a friend who’s worked his way up to the AHL so far, I can confirm that these guys don’t sleep.

So fascinating…… Go Wings!

Hope they are getting payed well!

What a cool job this must be

Dude needs a raise… sheesh

Years 1991 super detroit red wings fan never forget 1997.1998.2002.2008' i love detroit red wings ....so sorry my bad enghlis t.mekke79!!!)

I just have a hard time, waiting for the guys, to gear up for preseason. It's going to be a fun season this year. 2022-2023 once again, a playoff team.

Very interesting! Do they get paid for the off season?

This is my dream job

wow thx

Awesome video. Does anyone know what the silver things were at 6:30? LGRW (It's the glove drying machine)

these guys work harder than the players, god damn

workiing!

Ngl the bag of sticks slamming on the cart was oddly satisfying for some reason...

Just so happened to be the games I went to ☺ and it's just as much work as I thought.

So, do the equipment guys decide where the players sit in the stalls? And how much does this gig pay?

thus would be my dream job

5:06, what is he using for deburr the blade? where can buy it ?

lets go

4:21 miller lite can in the background. Drinking on the job…😂

Must smell rype as F during that hot air fan stage!! Would love this job been a player and coach, carpenter now would drop the belt in a second to stack the gloves!

do all equipment staff require being hockey player before? or doesn't unnecessary?

That’s a lot of work

Finally a working method
