In this feature, we asked members of the New York Islanders a fun but revealing question: “What’s the one nonnegotiable item you always bring with you on a road trip?”
Throughout the NHL season, players spend a significant amount of time traveling — from early-morning flights to back-to-back games in different cities. While the gear is always packed and ready, each player has a personal item they consider essential. Whether it’s something for comfort, focus, performance, or even superstition, these small but meaningful choices offer a unique look into the individual routines and personalities behind the team.
In this video, you’ll hear candid answers straight from the players, giving fans a more personal look at life on the road in the NHL. From practical items to unexpected favorites, it’s a fun reminder that even pro athletes rely on a few familiar comforts when they’re away from home.
📽️ Be sure to watch to the end for a few surprises — and maybe pick up a few packing ideas of your own.
