Daily News | Behind the scenes with the Flyers’ equipment staff, the unsung ‘stars of the show’
When you watch two players drop the gloves in an NHL game, do you ever wonder what happens to the jerseys, full of blood stains and rips after a beatdown? Behind every hockey bench, there are three to four people who are ready to save the day. They’re equipment managers, there to repair a jersey, fix a skate, or even find lip balm for a player with chapped lips.
In the summer of 2022, the 30-year-old Peters’ story came full circle, as he was hired as an equipment manager by the Flyers, linking up with Bronwell, the same man he had called for advice all those years earlier., said. That’s kind of what Peters thought he was signing up for. Equipment managers get to the rink long before the players and leave long after them. It’s crazy for even the players to think about, said de facto captain Scott Laughton. And it only gets more intense on the road. Bronwell said he can’t tell you how many times he’s gone to the wrong hotel room, all the numbers and floors blending together after a while.
“Ricky always says, ‘When we’re sitting down [with downtime], we’re done with our work, it makes us look prepared,’” Peters said. Peters didn’t realize the job also meant he’d be on TV, often visible in the background of shots of the bench. His friends and family have gotten a kick out of it, especially his former roommate in San Jose who would send him pictures of the screen whenever he saw him.
