Jason Berger has been hired as the new head equipment manager for the New York Islanders, bringing key experience from the Tampa Bay Lightning. He played a significant role in Tampa's back-to-back Stanley Cup victories and is known for his work ethic and attention to detail. Berger's responsibilities include ensuring players are prepared on game days. His reunion with Mathieu Darche, who worked in Tampa's front office, is expected to facilitate a smoother transition for the Islanders as they enter a new era, with Berger's insights seen as vital for establishing a strong locker room culture.
"My pre-game routine consists of making sure all the supplies are stocked, set up benches, organize the bench spares and be sure the players have everything they need."
"Equipment Managers are the unsung heroes of a locker-room, often preparing for gamedays hours before players arrive."
