VIDEO: Blackhawks equipment team are the unsung heroes.

As hockey fans we enjoy watching our favourite players perform on the ice. Although the ice is where the action takes place, it is easy to forget all the work that the little people do to make a game possible. After the tragic passing of Blackhawks assistant equipment manager Clint Reif, we were reminded of how much he actually meant to the team. This is a great video that shows exactly how much hard labour the equipment team is forced to do in preparation for a game. From lugging heavy bags around all day, to finishing that same day at 4 A.M, they give their all so that our experience goes off without a hitch. These are the true unsung heroes of the NHL.
