I agree, except some of it sounds rather political, at least sitting at the front of the plane & waiting for the vets to get off first. I’m not saying right or wrong, but there’s certainly a political element…. Poor Hosang being late for training camp, seemed to change the trajectory of his entire career.
Man, I've been loving this channel. As someone who didn't play high-level organized hockey, it's really fascinating to hear all of this. Was already a fan of yours from your time on the Hawks, but this channel has made me a big fan.
Man! Love these videos! Such a nice change from the “speculation podcasts” where media guys talk like they know everything but really have no clue. Keep up the good work!
Some very cool, old school things. With the logo being on the floor in the locker room makes no sense. I had the great fortune to get to know a retired NHL player in my hometown and asked him that question a few years ago. He said, absolutely no stepping on the logo. I said, ok,, but you can skate all over that thing at centre ice?? The look on his face was priceless!!
Wow, that was super interesting. Thanks for pulling back the curtain a bit! Now I have to check out all your other content. (LOVE the missing the bus/cab story lol)
locker room talk is just that - it doesn't leave the room or be carried home. always good to catch up w friends or stay in the room until 2 in the morning having a few w the team after a crazy game. Lamborghini Perlini, always liking your videos. I'll be sure to tell my buddies about your channel. Pretty cool insight
These are some lovely nuggets, love these videos! I know one thing through some of the Finnish boys in the NHL - to get into the poker table on the bus or the plane, somebody else has to forfeit their place. Basically, if you are part of the poker-playing group, you are in it, you can't come and go as you please or you lose your spot. However this could be different in different teams.
I love that this is going to hopefully become a modern thing in all sports where athletes make their own YT channels to connect with the fans more. I’ve always been such a nerd about sports since I was a kid so this kinda stuff is like gold for me lol
Great content - love hearing this inside stuff. One thing I’d love to learn about is the signing process to a new club - how negotiations take place and what terms are worked out. And then what’s the environment like as you get started afterwards. Could be a really cool series unless of course an NDA is in force, of course.
Man I moved to Southpark a year ago and enjoyed watching you with the Checkers this season as a Hawks fan. I saw you were there PTO. Best of luck brother
Apparently Jake DeBrusk was late a ton and missed a bunch of meetings 🤔 I was sad to see him go to the Canucks but I guess there was a bunch of people in the Bruins org that were really frustrated with him. Must’ve been a big issue.
Wife teases me because on Fridays I get excited for your videos. Great content delivered by a guy who feels like your best friend just chillin. Amazing job, keep up the great work.
Wow, thank you! Im honored!! Tell her u not to bother you and let u watch the whole thing through, u guys can Netflix and chill after the vids done 😉😂😂
I could listen to this all day everyday. I have a question after watching this playoffs! How many Hockey sticks do you go through. Sticks flying everywhere!😂 Absolutely love your channel.
How many in one season? A video on how you get your Hockey sticks, how you pick them, how many you have at one time, who takes care of them, etc. I have always wondered that.
Stumbled on this channel and it’s terrific. Really like the stories and the insight into the life of an NHL player. I do have a question though. Who pays for the players gear? As you climb the ladder in hockey, juniors, OHL, AHL up to the NHL. Do the players pay for their skates and sticks? Does the team pay for everything? Do they get a huge discount? Curious.
Ill have another video coming on this but if you haven't I did a video on sponsorship you should watch! doesn't really answer ur question about who pays which is the team, but I think you would like it as to the ins and outs on sponsored deals
In NHL 99% of guys listen to team music. Certain teams don’t allow u with headphones some do. Sometimes music rotates guys depends on winning and losing. Most guys don’t wanna do it cause everyone always complains about the music being shit 😂😂
Of course, I knew about the logo rule and I also know that some newer locker rooms are putting the logo on the roof instead just to keep anyone from accidentally (or I guess, purposefully) stepping on it.
So would a guy like Connor Bedard be in the front of the bus/plane waiting for the veterans to exit first or do the rules change for generational players?
Conor would want to be the same as the other rooks...if ya ever listened to wayne Gretzky, the best thing in the locker room is to just be one of the guys.. not the guy
In the old days of the O6, they travelled by train. The berths for overnight trips were assigned by sweater number. So the goalies, who generally played in every game and needed their sleep, got the prime lower berth. It went from there, up the number list and the rookies always got the top berths.
Hey thanks for the video I have a question so if you’re on a team with the fighter do people ever go over to the fighter and say hey can you sort that guy out for me or is he just expected to pick it up on his own or would it just be disrespectful if you have to ask him what’s the story on that? And how about also like what gets talked about in locker rooms like Married guys with girlfriends… people gambling …habits whatever I heard there was a long time ago a deal with media that anything discussed in locker rooms that’s not on the record is not supposed to be quoted like Ia guy talking about going to see the girlfriend that night or whatever unless it was an on the record “they couldn’t talk about it
I’m pretty sure Pat Burns started the no stepping on Logo in Toronto. It was reported he yelled at one of his players when they dropped their jersey on the floor after a loss and he lost his shhhh on the team and they started the no step on logo and hang up jerseys
My first vid. Great content. So much revolves around respect. Traditions are important part of making things work. Throwing the jersey to the ceiling was new to me, too funny.
unreal video love this stuff. how does this work for guys who are 2 way players? someone who’s been in the A a while does he sit in the front when he’s called up?
I knew about the logo, but I always wonder why the logo is still on the floors if it's such a problem. I mean as a design scheme it looks good, but the logo in some locker rooms takes up a large part of the floor.
So, when McDavid or Bedard show up and skate circles around everyone, they will be relegated to sitting at the front of the plane and treated like a cabin boy? That would be a real doozie, right there. Your 4th line plug is pushing the future superstar around. What a boost to a man's ego.
yep.. way she goes. they don't care who's coming in the league, if u haven't earned it yet you have to pay your dues. 4th line guy could be a huge asset to the team morale as a "glue" guy... keeps young guys egos in check
@Bubzp11 Yeah, but losing a "glue" guy usually amounts to your GM having to spend a 5th or 6th round pick to get some more glue from another team. To get a McDavid, MacKinnon, Bedard, type only comes around during a red moon 🌙 when Saturn is in Sagittarius and Venus is in Aquarius. Well... obviously, you know more than me, but that is my take. I would find it preposterous to see one of those guys being maligned by a guy who spent 6 years in and out of the minors before getting a spot to play 8 minutes a night while staring down the barrel of the waiver wire.
@@Vdoom777 im not saying they treat them like shit im saying there's a respect process in the league and whether u like it or not it's just what happens. Don't ask me why exactly. Kids don't run they're parents lives its other way around and guys try to guide the young guys and turn them into pros, this aint Texas (jr) anymore babyyyyy
right ideas but your thinking too deep on it! it's like anything in life, you don't step into a company and become the boss. But I like ur thinking 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😎
@Bubzp11 I understand, and I would usually agree that the youngsters need to pay their dues and learn from elders but if it's McDavid and he is the franchise then he automatically goes to the front of the table as far as I'm concerned. He is given the best seat in the house immediately. Almost all real Canadian boys are respectful and humble, so they would show respect back anyway. You can see how humble Bedard is and all those guys. They don't need a brow beating or any other kind of humbling. But thank you for all of this. It is humbling to me to chat with a real NHL player, and they provide me their thoughts on my ideas.
Rule 3: Hierarchy/Seniority, it's the old school way of essentially holding the door open for a person of importance, and allowing that person to move first.
What’s it like when guys get cut or you get cut do people just not call you anymore is it like somebody died or have you guys all known each other so long that everybody remains friends anyway
I got back out on the ice yesterday after a 6 month hiatus from a knee injury..longest time not on the ice since I started skating when I was around 2 years old, I'll be 40 in October...blew my meniscus out in February. She's sore today but it sure was sweet to be back out there
Hey Brendan! Tell us some stories on what it's like to be traded, or new guys coming in or some teammates getting traded mid season. Is it easy to get integrated and stuff?
Stepping on the logo, a direct pass to H*LL. Skate on the logo, A-OKAY! We are a weird species. Making the young-ones sit up front in the bus is because the first 10 feet of the bus is called the Impact Zone!
Somewhat related story Rookie baseball player: Mr Henderson you have tenure take my seat Ricky Henderson: tenure!! (Ten years) I’ve been in this league 15 years 😂 Also what about language…is it English only?
When I played soccer in Texas, we didn't step on our logo. That's who we are and our team. You gotta check a younger guy sometimes cause it's not really known
I managed my colleges hockey team and I went everywhere with them, I even roomed with them on trips, we had so much fun. Our biggest unwritten rule was Goalies sit wherever they want and with who ever they want… the other was I sat wherever and with who ever I wanted as well- this went with room assignments too. I would make the room assignments rarely did they have to be changed. I quickly learned who to room with who and more importantly who not to put together. The older guys would sometimes pull rank over the younger guys but very rarely and was always over something stupid just to annoy them.
I'm... Actually surprised I knew all but the plane seating rules. Then again, I've been playing hockey for 31 years. Make your way up to Milwaukee some time and teach my team some shit. We're getting smoked this season, lol

Basically, if you are part of the poker-playing group, you are in it, you can't come and go as you please or you lose your spot. However this could be different in different teams.
You’re awesome bro, thank you for these videos of behind the scenes, it’s interesting to hear
Thanks!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Yeah I got something in the works along those lines
We need life on the road…
Charter, hotels, cards, team dinners etc! Keep up the vids my man! Come back out to Scottsdale. First round on me🍻
Doing a video on how contract negotiations go would be super insightful.

Do you pick where you sit in the locker room on the road? Or is it up to the trainers?

Hi Brendan I just want to thank you for giving me a puck during warmups on February 12th 2019 when you were with the Blackhawks at TD Garden
ah that's awesome thanks for sharing! always cool to see
Nice shirt 😅
What a beauty!
I only know one right off the bat: DON'T STEP ON THE DAMNED LOGO
Don’t put it on the floor in the middle of the room then….
@@KkevrockK Totally agree, a phucking stupid rule and easily avoidable, don;t put it on the floor. OMG!
It’s the dumbest of rules. If your logo is so sacrosanct, put it on the ceiling where you literally have to look up to it.
@@DaveD1420 It's called RESPECT.
Something Millennials were never taught.
@@CarbonaraKing Really showing your age accusing Millenials of being the problem. Keep your naive beliefs to yourself
So would a guy like Connor Bedard be in the front of the bus/plane waiting for the veterans to exit first or do the rules change for generational players?
It would certainly take a guy like that a lot less time to move back but it doesn’t matter who you are you have to earn your stripes at that level
Came here to ask this very question.
Conor would want to be the same as the other rooks...if ya ever listened to wayne Gretzky, the best thing in the locker room is to just be one of the guys.. not the guy

Can you talk about the hardest arenas to play at? Also maybe talk about your favorite arenas.
Gotta make a video on fines/court in the locker room. Absolute staple of junior, college, pro hockey and added an extra bit of lore.
