With July 1 just passing this week, would love to hear insight on what free agency frenzy is like from a player’s perspective. Jersey collection is SICK!!!
Love the videos Brendan. I remember your goal when I was at the Notre dame winter classic. You should make a part 2 of your experiences with players like Patrick Kane, Debrincat, draisatal, etc.
It's funny how Brendan talks about light coming in the arena or the room. I worked in a rink for 23 years and also officiated for over 20 years on top of playing my entire life and seriously I would absolutely love it when I was in the ice and the door was open with teams leaving after their game and the sun would be shining through the door! I LOVED THAT!!
This video is dope!!! So nice to see that you kept some of your jerseys! My experience is that not every pro player wants to collect his own history… Me as a game worn jersey collector also learned that not every jersey that is sold is what it should be (Your Blackhaws Winter Classic is a good example)… I absolutly love the section „hockey“ in your channel!!!! Thank you for all the baclground stories! A video about sticks and how players prepare them would be great! Sorry for my poor English as I‘m for Germany (near England 😉)!
I love that condors Jersey! I remember seeing you play in the first ever game at the Dollar Loan center in Henderson and you got the 1st star of the game! Can’t wait for the upcoming season!
Sucks you’re still not in the NHL man, I still think you would’ve made a great NHL forward today. But hey, thanks for showing me your jersey collection and I wish you the best of luck in your hockey career.:)
Oh man... These red Blackhawks jeyseys got to be the nicest jerseys of pro hockey and you were fortunate enough to play for them. On top of that, you even have a signed Toews/Kane one. Real nice!
Love seeing the sweaters noyhing as good as a hawks home red though love the Canada one next then Detroit I grew up in Chicago my first job I got to see the penguins beat the hawks for the cup then after game I was talking to an 18 year old drunk jaromir Jagr memories
ugh, the background photo for the video of the old Jack Gatecliff Arena ... god I hated that rink. You were built for that rink tho. Old TeePee's jersey was cool. You were a dawg in Niagara, man. Great video
Minor leagues always have the best specialty jerseys. That Ice Dogs throwback with the front number is nice. But I'm with you, the 2019 WC is the star of the show. And I like the story of you pulling a fast one on Fanatics too 😅
great vid! would be super interested in a video like this where u broke down your summer training regimen. workouts, summer skates, how active NHL strength and skill coaches are. Just an idea! Thanks
I hope you keep going with your career. You’re an NHL player bro. As a wings fan, that year you came to us was probably the worst in our history. Just unfortunate timing. I bet on the right team you’d flourish as a 3rd line, 2nd PP guy. The dream isn’t over. You have a resume of some good NHL seasons. Go get it!
Kunitz was one of the best undrafted. Don't know if you answer questions. You told the story of why you like 42. Will you make a video about why you like 11 and 29? When you join a team, you see if 11 is used, then go to 29 as a backup? When I was a kid, I used #11 too because I seen the movie called "the fan"
Always have to go with a Blackhawks sweater, just so classy. I did love the Red Wings for a time, watching Steve Yzerman and Sergei Fedorov play was fun.
@@Bubzp11 Awesome, that jersey is beautiful! So you guys keep the same jerseys you wear during the regular season and then at the end of the season, the team lets you keep them?
So we gonna see u lacing them up again next year? Or u hanging them up? Toronto marlies def could use u man! Maybe b lucky enough to see u with the leafs at some point!
I'm a Ice Dogs season ticket holder, you Dougie, Strome, good teams. Lots of memories from the Jack, it was our home and practice rink for AA & AAA. Sweet collection. I'm curious about the payment of NHLPA dues? How much do you know about your pension? Also, the travel per diems - how much and when?
My favorites are the Blackhawks, but the Yotes will always be my favorite ones, after being a fan for over 25 years it sure was hard to see them leave.
Ooooh that’s hard. I would actually say the howling logo because that’s who I was drafted by and started with that so it brings back a lot of good mems
Awesome stuff have a game used collection of my own. Would love to show some of the stuff I have of yours. Maybe you’d be interested in a swap. Life long hawks fan
Just curious, how often are NHL players given the option to keep or purchase their own jerseys and when? Through out the season or at the end of the season?
Some nice jerseys in there. I'm partial to the ones with the #29. The sexiest number ever lol. I do have a question about the Coyotes though. As a fan of the original Jets and the Coyotes being the former Jets franchise, why did they not honor the retired Jets numbers? Even if they aren't retired in Arizona I would've liked to see them not allow players to use certain numbers. The current Jets barely even honor the numbers too. Makes me sad that the Jets greats will be easily forgotten with the swapping of franchises to pad Bettman's pockets.
I know you would never but don’t part ways with that white yotes jersey. They’re super rare at this point. Also being from Niagara I can attest to the Jack being an amazing arena. Spent many games there growing up with my dad watching the Falcons. Meridian Center is amazing but nothing beats the old barn feel of the Jack.
@@Bubzp11 You should keep playing! I am sure you still have more in you! You’re only 28, you can be in your prime! Also did Koekkoek ever get back with you?
