Arts and crafts day part 1. Dressed up the players running shoes. Took no time and did all for under five bucks. Second picture shows everything I used.

Backbone of dressing room complete. Hang new TV and add some graphics. I’m over the top how it all turned out. Ownership raised the standard and now up to players to match. Absolutely nothing to be left on seats or it’ll be a fine fine day!

What a great sponsor. Nough said!

Military game tonight. This year a Navy theme as CFB (Canadian Forces Base) Esquimalt is in our backyard and we are lucky to have a great relationship with them. Proud and happy to be working with them once again and show our support.

Oli seems ready for Friday night 🤷🏼‍♂️ Thanks to our incredible equipment manager Smitty for getting us “Salsa’d” up! #bearcountry #victoriasalsa #goaliemaskart #goaliemask

30 years in the making for our team. Celebrated by wearing our 4th set for the first time. Was a special night beating the 1st place team and having the original owners and players at the game. Thanks to the best asst EM Declan! Victoria Salsa. Original owners owned Taco Time.

Christmas time is a great cleaning time. Only the sewing cabinet left to do. Happy Holidays to all the hard working hockey people out there.

Ok newest tool. Laser engraver. At the very early stages of mastering this and learning proper settings but so far I am pretty happy with the result. These are crap leftovers of broken steel to practice on so real steel will be much better. Profiles and ROH are just made up too.

So you want to be an equipment manager on the road? It’s not all that bad.

Summer Fun 1 Here is my BladeMaster skate steel holder with a little upgrade. Victoria Grizzlies BCHL

Summer fun 2. Used Blademaster holder takes on a new look. Victoria Grizzlies BCHL

Summer fun 3. Was actually one I did first. Got this used as I would never treat my tools like this. This one I trimmed sides and cut holes out. Next one I took the time to make a perfect template to make installation less than 5 minutes including putting holder back together.

Here are a few things I did this summer. Couple pictures were from last season. Another cool project will be finishing soon to add.

Home opener for us after starting 3-1 on the road. Loving the new white buckets as been a lot of years since we had those. Big upgrade, the new “invisible” custom hangers we designed and had made. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks Mike and Declan.
