I never really comment but I had to on this one, I'm so glad this popped up in my reccommended. As a guy from Fredrikstad who's gotten into hockey at a later age its quite amazing to see the behind the scenes, how this amazing city is like for visitors etc. Even seeing some old classmates in the dressing room as pro hockey players, quite mind boggling. Thank you!

Do they still have the nuclear bomb shelter cave in the center of town? I.m from the US and played there in the late 1970's. They had us stay in the cave /bomb shelter, which actually was pretty nice. It even had an indoor swimming pool. One night, we got locked in, as it had a large vault door. Military had to rescue us.

@@sevelo321 thats awesome! we do have a lot of bomb shelter caves in the city still but as far as I know none of them have a pool, most of them now are being used for parking. I'll make sure to ask my grandpa next time I see him if he knows about a bomb shelter with a swimming pool :D

Fun fact: Urge was introduced as a test in Norway by the Coca Cola Company in 1996. It was a success here as a competitor to Mountain Dew. They lauched it in the US under the name Surge, but it never took off there, and was taken off the shelves in 2003. I was hooked on that stuff in college 😅

Nice video! One thing I've been curious about is if pro players have their gear washed by the equipment staff to prevent it from getting funky. I'm sure a handful of guys would avoid it for the traditional hockey superstition, but I've always wondered if teams generally just wash the pads and gear to keep it from smelling like a dumpster fire.

@RobertGreeley 7 месяцев назад

For the most part yes, pro teams take care of the maintenance, of your equipment, which includes washing!

@aaronwhite1786 7 месяцев назад

Isn't he in the UK?? When I played in Europe we sometimes had to meet boosters in a big tent/building behind the arena after home games (Ger). The supporters would be in there having a beer or two and we'd come in and say hi. It was an obligation, but actually was usually pretty fun. There were also keg duties for certain members of the booster club/fans in the stands (for game time booze) - it was bizarre for us Canadians/Americans to see. Do they do that in Norway? You should post a vid if you have the footage. I think viewers would get a kick out of it if they do.

I am surprised how bad the facility is for a pro level and how slow the play is. The level of play reminds me of Junior B and most Junior B teams have a much better facility.

@RobertGreeley 2 месяца назад

Nah Junior B comparison for level of play is way off, this isn't the best league in Europe but most of these players especially the imports are coming from the ECHL, NCAA D1 and top CHL programs. However, this arena is known as one of the oldest in the league and has been up for a renovation for years now but it's still an ongoing debate with the city!
