Lehigh Valley Phantoms Head Athletic Trainer | Doctor of Athletic Training | Moravian University, Minnesota State Mankato & North Central College Alumna
What an absolutely amazing experience! Thank you to the entire @BuffaloSabres organization & staff for your support and this opportunity! I am incredibly happy to be a part of the Buffalo & @AmerksHockey organizations. I cannot thank both staffs enough for all they’ve done!
We are proud to have Kedryn Orrison Pilgrim serving as an athletic trainer behind our bench tonight!
According to @PHATS_SPHEM, Kedryn is believed to be the third woman to work a regular-season @NHL game behind the bench in any capacity.
Transactions: We have recalled the following players from the @LVPhantoms (AHL):
• F Anthony Richard
• F Jacob Gaucher
• D Hunter McDonald
• D Oliver Bonk
• G Aleksei Kolosov
McDonald and Bonk will make their NHL debuts tonight in #MTLvsPHI.
The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
It's Don Stevens' world, and we're just living in it🎙️🫶
There aren't enough words to thank Don Stevens for 40 years of dedication to @AmerksHockey and the American Hockey League. The soundtrack for generations of past, present, and future hockey fans... Simply irreplaceable.
⚠️ Cool story alert! ⚠️
