Throughout the course of the 2021.22 season, the Penguins will travel 33,000 miles and at least one game in every NHL arena. But how does the team get from Point A to Point B, and how do they get everything they need to have success on the road? How does acquiring a player from a Canadian team work? Hear from Jason Seidling, Director of Team Operations, and Jim Britt, Former Director of Team Operations/Current Vice President and Executive Director of the Penguins Foundation on all those topics and more.

Now I know why it costs $200 for a hockey ticket.
$200 isn’t bad, check out VGK’s tickets nowadays 😑😫
2012 "Work Stoppage" is a very interesting way of saying "OWNER LOCKOUT"!
It is indeed euphemism for owner lock out.
Or for player strike. It takes two to tango.
@@qwerty112311 Merry Christmas! In the case of the 2012 lockout, the NHLPA offered to play the season under the existing contract, but the owners said no. It wasn't a case of the union saying they wouldn't play and the owners calling their bluff. The plays wanted to play the season.

I can remember standing outside the Olympia in Detroit after a game. The visiting team's bus was there and I would get all of the autographs. Once, my friend's parents shared a train car ride back to Montreal with Jacques Plante. They said he was great company.
Awesome look at how the pens team is much more than what we see on the ice.
its not just the pens. pretty much every team is like this
That was a very interesting and fascinating video. Thanks for posting that.
Nice to be able to put a face to the great people I have worked with; from Ottawa and Montreal, a salute and Thank You to Jason and Jim two real pros.
Professionals unlike you Steve, pretty unfortunate that i'm getting a question from you at this point.
@@notveryobviousguy4373 There was a question in there ? Not on purpose.
@@Steve-xf4uv lol i was joking, it's an auston Matthews quote
@@notveryobviousguy4373 Have to admit, you got me good !!
I know this is old but as a hockey fan and a flyers fan this is really interesting stuff. Thanks for posting the video
I’m a caps fan but I liked this video. It’s interesting seeing the travel from place to place
Great Video Thanks for sharing!
love these
Way to go, Jim! They should have voted for you as the sharp dressed man!
Oilers fan here and I find this so interesting. I always wonder how they travelled! ✈️
Same here. I was curious how logistics went about back in 2020 covid when i saw the Pacific division buses roll into our downtown hotels. I saw the players in the Edmonton City Centre from a distance walking around. 😊
On a plane!
That sound like such a fun job. This could be my new dream job.
Cool video! Also a Caps fan, sorry. I'm sure most people have no idea what goes on behind the scenes for any sports team. I remember seeing a 737 parked at BWI with Caps and I think Bullets on either side when Abe owned both teams.
That's pretty cool! 💪🏼
I love how no one seemed to notice the Philadelphia Eagles helmet on his desk behind him lol.
Very cool video
Very cool.
how does itr work in post season never knowing where and who you will play if you even make the post season
Let’s go pens!!
Some people, includinge me, may think all sports teams travel by taking a bus to visit their rivals or rivals of nearby opponents or take a plane for long distances, but that's not just the case
How and when does the laundry get done? Do you only dry used sweaty gear?
They keep track of so many statistics, I wonder which player in NHL history flew the most miles?
Its my fav team love form india 🇮🇳
Awesome job to have with the chance of winning the Stanley Cup.
had no idea ANY professional sports team was traveling commercial in the 00's.
Dream job
Let’s go Penguins
stil get chills seeing clips of that boston game after the bombing i was thwere for the lockdown and the game. crazy experience especially traveling from canada,
King-pin Kappy going for the cartel mafioso look at 01:31
No
@@notveryobviousguy4373 Yes? I like this game.
@@threethrushes I don't know what I'm talking about, don't do drugs.
@@notveryobviousguy4373 No worries brozel. Peace!
FIRST IVE HEARD THAT SWEAT STEIGY VOICE IN TOO LONG
let's go flyers
Kappy is wins most stylish in my book!
Crosby had WAYYYY TOO MANY CONCUSSIONS
no he is just naturally stupid.
Should've left Iginla and his equipment in Canada
#letgopens
These guys dont need all that damn food
Go Bearcats!
WHO
Lets go Islanders!
$200 a ticket? Not where I am. $200 won’t get you standing room in the bar across the street from the arena.
Is it me or did this video barely cover how an nfl team travels.
Let`s go Flyers
west coast team travel is waaaay worse than anything the teams in the east have to put up with
I'd be interested to see how the Arizona Coyotes travel. I hear their owner is a real cheapskate.
@@Azdude801Probably tells them to take public transportation lol
The league is too large now, with too much travel and dilution of rivalries. It should move to a regional system.
🐧
not easy
First 🤘
I really hope you send Kasperi Kapanen to AHL! He deserves it!
33,000 miles? *Greta Thunberg disliked this video*
An NHL team? Isn't it supposed to be "a nhl team". Is this an official video?
Do you read NHL as "National Hockey League" or as the acronym NHL? Because if you read it as "National Hockey League" then yes, it would be 'a', but if you read it as the abbreviation, it would be 'an'. Ezpz, dud. Clearly official video if it's from the Pittsburgh Penguin's youtube account.
We need to trade jarry for Fleury. Or someone better. The kid Cant win championships without great goaltending.
So NHL players get special treatment from US immigration?
no need to deal with immigration when traveling in the US
Silly video.....everyone knows penguins can't fly. ;)
'AN' NHL team,,,, really,,, did you finish 6th grade? it's "A" NHL team,,,,,
I love the slow-motion virtue signalling camera shots of mask-wearing. 🙄
Fully vaxxed by still a face diaper. Just said at this point
They skate from rink to rink.
I’m not ready for the day Crosby announces that he’s retiring 😢
I'm gonna celebrate.
