The athletic therapist/ equipment manager will be responsible for player injuries, sicknesses and general trainer and equipment manager duties.

You must be flexible with hours and have a good understanding of the hockey environment.
Athletic Therapists are one of the first people at the field/pitch/rink and are there until the last athlete leaves. Their efforts are often behind the scenes. This blog serves to highlight the work done by Athletic Therapists and the Athletic Therapy profession in general.

Majors fend off the Attack
"Owen Sound, already without star forward Joey Hishon, lost captain Garrett Wilson midway through the first period. Wilson was checked heavily into the boards and wasn’t able to return. Now he and Hishon may not be available for tonight’s game.
“Obviously, the hit on Wilson is a factor for our team,” said Reeds. “Another one of our leadership guys wasn’t able to finish the game.”
Wilson will be evaluated in the morning but Reeds didn’t sound optimistic about his availability when he spoke at a post-game news conference.
“You know, when an athlete starts asking the same question over and over again, then that’s reason to have concern,” said the coach, crediting the decision by team athletic therapist Andy Brown to take Wilson out of the game."

Fraser: How do officials stay in play but out of the way?
"The puck took a quick rise off Tony's stick and I just missed blocking it with my elbow before it struck me directly in the face. The puck broke my nose, fractured my tooth and split my lip for seven stitches.
When I blew the whistle, blood sprayed out of the air hole. Ron Francis of the Pens displayed a look of shock as he caught a glimpse of me. I couldn't continue in this condition and Hawks athletic therapist Mike Gapski escorted me off the ice for repairs. Walking through the Hawk bench, I paused and informed coach Darryl Sutter that we had to stop the game while I got stitched up. Sutter shook his head in disgust and said "F%&*# Kerry, hurry up and get back. We're pressing.""

Boogaard always a favourite in Minnesota
"“He was the perfect fit here,’’ Wild athletic therapist Don Fuller said. “It can be seen by how much the fans loved him.
“The fans also loved him because of what he did off the ice. He was such a giving person, whether it was with the children’s hospital or the military. I knew that he did a fair amount of stuff, but it wasn’t until after his passing that I realized how much charitable work he did do. It’s commendable for him, and it speaks volumes about how big a heart he had.’’"
