Florence, your comment touched me. It must be amazing to hear your dad's voice but heartbreaking at the same time. I so hope you take comfort from knowing the man he was and what he has achieved.
What I may add without knowing the inns and outs is it seems like your dad was very well worked but not sure if he was as well paid for his efforts. Damn he was a work horse and fantastic at his job. I just hope he got the recognition he truelly deserved.
Everyone on the team gets a ring. From the players and coaches to the equipment staff and even sometimes the front office staff gets rings (depending on the team and sport)
He committed suicide according to toxicology reports. His job was really hard it seems. The man probably just needed more vacation time with his wife and daughters
Yes, I do actually, my family have been season ticket holders for over 14 years (this being our 15th Season but have been going to games all 16 seasons)
caghockey damn that's awesome! I go there a lot, mostly when the Wolf Pack is in town since I'm a Rangers fan but love hockey in general so I'm there a lot no matter who their playing. Being a season ticket holder much be nice though! So I'm guessing you're an Islanders fan too then?
You know the video is old when they're using Easton sticks. I'd love to have that bag though. Probably $25,000 worth of sticks in one bag. What a dream job for those that got sidelined from making it to the show or anyone that just loves being around hockey.
My heart breaks thinking about his last thoughts before he took his own life. He had a great job, but boy is it demanding as hell. I hope it wasn't his job, but demon that is depression, etc. that caused his death. RIP Clint.
It really is so sad. It's a demanding job, and you're catering to guys making at minimum 10 times the salary as you. It has to take an extremely special person to not be jealous. Regardless of the reason, he's at peace now. I hope his wife and kids are ok. It's been years, but that's something that you can never fully heal from.
With all that heavy equipment, I'm curious what teams used to do back during the days when they traveled by commercial planes rather than private charters
In the NHL sphere money is not really an object. Sharpening tool-grade steel is ... slap it on a grinder and go. Great ... eh .... but that grinder is ruining your tool-grade steel. Once your ruin your tempered steel with a grinder you are destined for new steel before the season is out. The steel on the high end skates is oil-cooled (quenched) while the steel is in the Martensite phase. Once you run good steel across a grinding wheel you literally rip steel from the blade causing incredible friction heating, locally, ruining the blade's temper several millimeters from the surface. The result? A quickly dulling edge not suitable for NHL service. Not an advertisement ... but you fellas need an edge. Try hand sharpening with a device such as "The Profiler", a total solution hand sharpening system. I've been using it for almost a decade and find my runners last 500% longer than ground blades. I even dropped a skate on concrete and hardly saw any damage. Tool steel rocks.
miss you every day dad love watching this video just to hear your voice again❤️
Florence Reif thoughts are with you 😢
Huh
Prayers

Rip Clint Reif. You've helped to make a hell of a team. Prayers go out to ur family and loved ones.
RIP Clint Reif, you will be remembered forever.
Thank you so much for all you did Clint. Without you, the team we know and love would not be the team we know an love. R.I.P
RIP Clint, he was a great guy.
Clint had some obviously strong friendships with his team. RIP
RIP Clint. My thoughts go out to the Reif family.
Equipment staff lowkey deserve stanley cup rings when their team wins. They play a huge role...
They get them...
Ethan Johnson lol, they get a ring you know...
Yeah I think it depends on what team my freinds mom was the Red Sox secretary and she got a ring
Everyone on the team gets a ring. From the players and coaches to the equipment staff and even sometimes the front office staff gets rings (depending on the team and sport)
Its the teams decision on who they give em to
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Reif family...RIP Clint, you will be missed dearly
What happened to him?
He committed suicide according to toxicology reports. His job was really hard it seems. The man probably just needed more vacation time with his wife and daughters
