Meet The Coach, Lock-Out Edition

Envision being a professional hockey player going to the rink to skate – but your coach isn’t there, the majority of your teammates aren’t there, you can’t use the team locker room, and you have to pay for your ice time every day.

That was the daily reality for Washington Capitals Jason Chimera, Jay Beagle, John Carlson and New York Ranger Jeff Halpern during the NHL lockout. Mathieu Perreault also worked out at Kettler prior to leaving to play for HIFK SM-Liiga in Finland.
