The Calgary Flames training and equipment staff is a busy bunch, both at home and on the road. Long after games end, the staff still is at the rink, tending to a variety of jobs ranging from medical treatment for players to packing gear or preparing for the next day. The hours are long and, on several occasions throughout a season, the equipment crew simply will sleep at the rink.
The Flames are on the road in Phoenix Oct. 25, during the NHL's busiest night of the season, with all 30 teams in action. We sat down with Flames equipment manager Gus Thorson, now in his 10th season with the team, to see what he and his crew, which includes assistant equipment manager Mark DePasquale, do on a road trip to keep the players prepared and ready to play.
