equipment manager of the Boston Bruins my dad and my Uncle Earl jenkinson worked in the visitors room at the old Garden before I was born 13 14 I started going in game nights doing the water bottles on the bench and stuff like that history and tradition run deep in the Boston Bruins organization and nobody demonstrates that better than the hardworking team behind the team the equipment staff I’ve known your dad since I was 14 really you there’s a bunch of us mattye Falconer and Keith Babino and Tyler Sweeney we get here 7 in the morning and start getting ready for morning skates or practice day and then some nights you have travel post game so basically 7:00 in the morning to 11: 12 at night depending game night the intensity level comes up a little bit Matt n on the bench mat’s watching for broken sticks which is important aspect of the game now go ahead go ahead of course one of the biggest and most important jobs for the equipment staff is taking in the Bruins gear on the rad but at this point Keith and his team yeah they’re a well oiled machine if we practice at 11 11:30 we’ll have the Game Gear all packed up grab all their skates the goalie equipment sticks we’ll head out to the airport as soon as possible we’re always trying to beat the bus so we’re in place and ready when the team is I’m very fortunate to you know have idolized this team since birth basically it’s

off the ice to join the Boston fire department for some cool interaction good stuff up next on [Music] baob nice to meet you nice to meet you nice to meet you we’re gonna set you up with some gear Bruins forwards Jacob Lao and Oscar Steen spent some time at the Boston Fire Department Training Academy where they learn that being a firefighter is a lot like being on a hockey team we operate as a team like you guys when we go to a fire we send three fire engines our forwards they rush in they knock down the fire and then we send two ladder trucks they’re almost like a defense always keep an eyee on the engine companies and if we don’t operate as a team we don’t have a good record after the pregame speech the boys got a chance to experience some of the life-saving techniques and equipment that firemen use listen pretty cool stuff but it’s definitely not easy you have we know this is a hybrid so you know you have gasoline and you know you have electric the first thing we introduced them to was extrication of cars the tools that we use we have to operate and get a person out of that car in a couple of minutes there we go tools are like super super heavy super hard to to move around and it’s uh it’s like it’s not easy job the next Evolution we showed him was to hold the holes line and the power that that generates the last scenario that we showed was going through the Maze and to navigate your way through a space that you can’t see that you’ve never been in before if you can’t see your feet where you going to be on my on my knees stay on this wall no matter what you can’t

recently nesson and the team work together to Grant her wish of working behind the scenes for a game at the TD Garden the Bruins have meant a lot to me especially during my treatment it was a great distraction when I got diagnosed in 2021 and I would watch every Bruins game there was 2022 the Bruins played the Devils on April 8th and that’s the day I found out I was cancer free so this game is very important so you ready to rock I’m so ready to rock all right let’s do it Lela is a senior in high school and wants to pursue a career in sports broadcasting tonight her dream was to interview Bruin’s Captain Brad Marshon live on nessen with the help from nessen analyst Adam Pellerin all right so you have a long home stand coming up how important is it to you to take advantage of it yeah we uh you know it’s always great to I definitely have been looking into working in Sports obviously hockey is my first choice and just seeing what everyone does on neston I think it’s so interesting and I just love everything that goes behind the scenes and on air good job thank you thank you it’s really cool to see somebody like Lea who instead of you know thinking about her diagnosis and thinking about her battle with cancer she’s thinking about her future she’s thinking about what’s next I can tell you she’s a natural I mean She interviewed Brad Marsha on the bench she asked a great question and so she’s well on her way feeling great uh think in April I’ll be two years cancer free so it’s great I’m ready for college next year so everything’s kind of going my way well done Adam well done nessen and Well Done make a wish really good stuff up next on Bruins Academy the women well they’re taking over that’s right they’re taking over the TD Garden [Music] I’m lizar gento and I produced women in sports night I’m Lauren King and I directed the video board show for women in sports night I’m Michaela Johnson and I was the PA announcer for women in sports night at a recent Bruins home game it was women in sports night presented by rapid 7 the team highlighted women who work in sports and get this for the first time in club history Fe featured an all female control room and an all female production staff I think it was fantastic I mean about time that we do a total female Takeover in the control room we have so much talent here particularly by women myself being in that PA role I just wanted to do my best to represent the Bruins weal sweet being able to walk into the room room and see a room full of women was exciting I think everybody was really proud to be a part of that moment I know I was there’s a lot of talented women working in sports around New England and around the country so being recognized by the Boston Bruins meant a lot to this group it also sets the stage for more opportunities in the future being able to direct tonight’s show is great because it allows me or affords me the opportunity to potentially do this again in the future it’s really important that we support all different kinds of initiatives specifically women in sports night Sports is such a male-dominated industry and showing the representation throughout uh the control room TD Garden is so important advice I’d give to young girls or even women looking to make their way in this career I think just go for it let’s go [Applause] Bruin well that’s it that’s a wrap on episode 88 of Bruins Academy hey before we go did you learn a thing or two about the Bruins and the sport of hockey more importantly did you have fun after all hockey is fun from all of us here at the TD
