00:00Junior hockey is some of the most fun and exciting hockey that you could ever watch.
00:04Players from age 16 to 20 from across the globe competing not for a paycheck,
00:09but for a chance to move on in their hockey career.
00:12Today we're giving you an all-access look, day in the life,
00:15at what it takes to play at the highest level of junior hockey.
00:19From 8 a.m. to midnight, we followed a player on the Fargo Force of the USHL.
00:24You will see absolutely everything.
00:26Workouts, morning skates, sled hockey, and more.
00:30We even got to sit between the benches in the third period,
00:34and let's just say there may have been a fight.
00:37So sit back and enjoy the show. Let's get into it.
00:42Good morning from Fargo, North Dakota.
00:44Where are we?
00:46A very special video for you guys today.
00:48We are going to be following around one of the best junior hockey teams in the entire country,
00:53and we have got a boy, Finn, in here who has opened up his house his entire day.
00:58You guys will see the good, the bad, and the ugly of junior hockey here in North Dakota.
01:03I mean, we got our boy C-Wheels here. How are we feeling about today?
01:06I feel like it's a little bit of an invasion of privacy, but we're going to learn a lot.
01:11No, like for real, Finn's an absolute legend letting us get in here.
01:13I'll let him introduce himself when we get in,
01:15but you guys are going to see some of the best hockey that you've ever seen,
01:18some of the most exclusive behind-the-scenes content you've ever seen,
01:21and it starts at the Billet House.
01:23All right, he's going to show us around MTV Cribs style.
01:26Ring the bell here.
01:29Yeah, I don't know if he's really ready for all these cameras or whatnot.
01:34All right, boy. What's up, buddy? Good to see you.
01:38Thanks for having us in here.
01:41Hey guys, I'm Finn McLaughlin, here to do the day in the life for the boys,
01:45and yeah, show off the Billet House.
01:47Dude, this guy, this guy's a natural.
01:48He literally opened up the door, he's ready to go.
01:50First of all, you know, you told the people who you are.
01:53You're here in North Dakota.
01:55How was it when you like first got here, and what do you think it is like now?
01:58Yeah, it was awesome, and last year I got traded here midway through,
02:02and we had a really good team last year, except the win record in the USHL,
02:05and obviously I ended up winning the Clark Cup,
02:07so I think just first impressions here, it was awesome,
02:10like the team and coaches and everything was top-notch,
02:13and just someone who's the best in the league, so yeah.
02:16You guys will see the facility later today, dude,
02:18like the entire arena, one of the sickest things I've ever seen.
02:20What'd you guys go, like 50-10 I saw regular season last year?
02:23Yeah, I think so.
02:24Dude, this team is nuts, so you'll be seeing some good hockey too.
02:27So how's the whole, like for everyone who doesn't know,
02:30how's the whole billet process work?
02:31Like how do you find someone, and then like what's it like first meeting them?
02:35What's that all about?
02:36Yeah, so I think they just kind of apply to,
02:38we have like a billet coordinator, his name is Dorian,
02:41I'm sure you'll probably see her around, but yeah,
02:43so people will just apply for it, and then they'll, they fulfill like a form,
02:46like you know, if they have cats, or like allergies, and how many kids, and whatnot.
02:51Yeah.
02:51Yeah, we're really lucky here, like everybody stays with their own billet house,
02:55like I think we have like 10 extra billets too.
02:57That's sick.
02:58Have you ever had, how many total houses have you, say that out?
03:01Uh, that's my third.
03:03Have you ever had like a bad experience at one?
03:05No, they're always great, yeah.
03:07Yeah, they're all super nice.
03:08No, I mean, I guess the way I look at it,
03:13is like if you're willing to like open up your house,
03:15and like host somebody, you gotta be like a pretty good person.
03:17Yeah, absolutely.
03:18I've heard stories about some like bad ones around different spots,
03:22but everyone here is awesome.
03:23That's sick.
03:24Yeah.
03:25Old Jew with the sauna.
03:26Yeah, no.
03:27Dude, I didn't even see the sauna.
03:28Yeah.
03:29Wait a second.
03:30Yeah, I hang out in there quite a bit.
03:32Kinda got to.
03:33Alright, for the next part of the video,
03:35hand, tail, bench, what's on the bench?
03:38Ooh, wait.
03:38I'm not gonna change it, we're just gonna just-
03:40Is this your number, or what is this?
03:41No, it's probably my billet dad's.
03:43Okay.
03:43Probably somewhere around there though.
03:45This is the day of the life.
03:46This is what the boys do every morning,
03:47with the winter jacket on.
03:49Why not?
03:49Straighten up.
03:50Oh, alright.
03:51Let's go.
03:53Get up.
03:54Oh, yeah.
03:55Oh, yeah.
03:56No Warby.
03:58Let's go.
03:59We are buzzing.
04:01The no Warby.
04:02What is that?
04:02What was my weight?
04:03What was like 170?
04:04165?
04:05We just hit 185 on the bench.
04:07Might have been a PR.
04:08I don't know.
04:08I don't know if I actually-
04:10Let's go.
04:10A huge thank you to Finn's billet family for welcoming us into their home,
04:14and an even bigger thank you to all the billet families out there.
04:17Without them, none of this would be possible.
04:20Now, it's time to head to the best arena in the USHL,
04:23Shields Arena, home of the Fargo Force.
04:26Alright, we just pulled off to the rink.
04:28We got the secret parking in the back here with Finn.
04:31First step is to go down this intimidating icy ramp.
04:34This is Shields Arena.
04:35Probably one of the best arenas in the USHL, is it?
04:38I mean-
04:38The best.
04:39The best.
04:39The best.
04:40The best arena in the USHL.
04:42Best facilities.
04:43They got recently renovated locker rooms, gym, all that stuff.
04:47We'll be showing you all that as well.
04:48We'll get in here, get some food in us, and get moving.
04:54We got to give you the junior hockey food review here.
04:57Honestly, like, this looks kind of class.
04:59Little quiche for the fellas here, alright?
05:02Let's go.
05:05This is restaurant-style quality here, boys.
05:07We're at the rink here.
05:08We got a view of a little sport hockey game going on here,
05:11and then it's morning skate, so we're gonna eat some food,
05:13and get you guys dialed in.
05:15Let's go.
05:15First step of the day, we got our breakfast in.
05:18Yeah.
05:19Now, what are we up to?
05:19Yeah, we got a little warm-up here with Steph, some mobility stuff,
05:22get us dialed for a pregame skate.
05:24Alright.
05:25Yeah.
05:25We'll have Finn walk us through basically everything he does to get ready for morning skating.
05:30Yeah, so, yeah.
05:31All the boys getting after it now.
05:32We got, like, our whiteboard over there that kind of tells us exactly what we got to do,
05:36and Steph goes through.
05:37So, yeah, let's start it off.
05:39We got lateral probe-
05:41I can't pronounce that, but getting down here like this.
05:46Oh, should I get involved here?
05:47Yeah, so hold this for 30 seconds.
05:50She's judging my form already.
05:51This is not good.
05:52I need to fix this form.
05:53Oh, this has to be off?
05:55Oh, yeah.
05:56Uh-oh.
05:57Oh, my gosh.
05:58Alright, I'm feeling warm for this game.
06:00We're good to go.
06:02Yeah, that's all we need.
06:03A little slow cat-cows.
06:05Yeah.
06:05Get the spine going a little bit.
06:08Up like this.
06:09Yeah.
06:12I mean, look at the form.
06:14Yeah, quick one for the demo.
06:15The form is absolutely dialed today.
06:17Let's go.
06:18Yeah, and then we got a little psoas march versus bandzat.
06:22Let's put our feet up on the bench.
06:25There we go.
06:26Yeah, I'll get the shoulders going a little bit.
06:27Alternating Ys down low.
06:30Then we got Ts up here.
06:32And are you doing this before, like, every practice, every game, every-
06:35Yeah, usually, like, every, like, morning skate, kind of, something like that.
06:39Like, usually we have our lifts, so we use that as our warm-up, too.
06:41But we'll, like, incorporate this kind of stuff.
06:43And then day before a game, we'll do something light like that, as well.
06:46So, yeah, no, we do.
06:47And then we do the same thing, like, pre-game, getting ready for the warm-up.
06:50So, yeah.
06:50Beauty.
06:51That's our warm-up.
06:53Ready to hit the ice?
06:53Yeah, let's go.
06:54Let's do it.
06:56So, we got our breakfast in, delicious breakfast.
06:58Got our warm-up stretches in.
07:00And now it is time for the morning skate.
07:02So, the Force just took the ice.
07:04Coach just went through a couple drills with them.
07:06Now they're getting set up.
07:07We're going to mic up Finn.
07:08We got a mic on his gear.
07:09And we'll give you guys kind of a behind-the-scenes look as to what the boys are talking about,
07:13what Finn's out here doing, and how the morning skate goes here in Fargo.
07:18So, first thing that I noticed here, it's pretty cool seeing how dialed they are.
07:22They step onto the ice, no instructions, know exactly what they need to do.
07:26Coach also tells them how hard they need to go.
07:29So, he'll be, like, 73% to 88% here in this drill.
07:32Next drill, they're bumping it up.
07:33And then, eventually, they rev it up to full speed for a couple drills at the end.
07:37Pretty sick, man.
07:38This is very impressive to watch.
07:40And when I tell you that this is some of the best hockey I've ever seen down low like this,
07:44it really is.
07:44Like, no missed passes, no mistakes.
07:48Picture-perfect hockey, even here just in, you know, pre-game skating.
07:52So, let's see what else they're up to.
07:54And then, we'll catch up with Finn afterwards.
07:56Kuzma, go shoot.
07:57Hey, one more guy.
08:00Yep.
08:04There we go.
08:08Yep.
08:13We don't want to over-pursue in our back pressure in our zone.
08:17We want to come back.
08:19I'm going to be standing right here.
08:20Winger, you come back.
08:22Yep, over.
08:30Yep, yep.
08:39Oh, my God.
08:40Do it for the camera.
08:41Hey, Alan.
08:42Of course, Alan windmills me the only time the camera's on him.
08:45Yep.
08:49Oh, my God.
08:55Yeah.
08:56One-tees.
08:59Ooh.
08:59Yeah.
09:01Yep.
09:06One for two, whatever.
09:08Woo.
09:08We got Coach Cody here.
09:10I'm thinking, with our youth teams, we got to start running some morning skates like this.
09:13You think you can get the boys dialed?
09:16Yeah, you know, we just got to get the boys up in the morning and get them dialed.
09:19Yeah, they're usually two games in at this point, 10 o'clock.
09:21It's a little bit different than when we were playing as kids,
09:24where you kind of just wake up an hour before the game,
09:26your parents sprint you over there, and you're ready to go.
09:28This is a, it really is an NHL-level experience.
09:31We've obviously seen, you know, behind the scenes at some NHL teams and what they do,
09:34and this is the exact same thing, the exact same level.
09:38They're given the same treatment as an NHL player would, so.
09:41Kids at, like, a high level.
09:43Every single one of them is incredible.
09:46Woo.
09:51Bruh.
09:51I won't let no windmills meet, first time ever.
09:54Just because we got the camera on.
09:56Ah.
09:58Ah.
09:59I think my stick's broken.
10:01So, we did have the chance, actually, yesterday,
10:04me and Cody hopped on the ice with these boys.
10:06We'll roll some clips from that.
10:07I did a little three-on-three out there.
10:08Let's just say, they were skating at about 50% post-practice.
10:13They had already gotten a full workout in before that,
10:15and I was having trouble keeping up.
10:18Cody did snipe a couple, like, let's let the record show.
10:20Cody absolutely dialed in.
10:22Our skating is just not on their level, though.
10:25So, roll a couple of those clips.
10:26Also, I hit some one-tees.
10:27This is a little one-tee game they like to play over here.
10:30I did hit a couple one-tees.
10:31I stayed in there until, I don't know, we were, like, top ten, top five.
10:35Yeah.
10:37Oh, my God.
10:40Trying to take out the camera.
10:42Let's do three more.
10:48The tiniest snapshot.
10:49Hey.
10:50Perfectly placed every single time.
10:51Pretty much every single player on this team is committed to a D1 school already.
10:56Like, Finn was 16 years old, committed to Denver to play D1.
11:01Once this year's over, he'll head back to Denver.
11:03Every single player gets a big D1 offer.
11:06We'll head there, have their chance to make it to the show.
11:09I really do think we'll see a lot of these guys in the NHL at some point.
11:12We can see, if you guys look up here, they have a lot of the big names from the NHL
11:16that have come from the Fargo 4s program.
11:19That's just the Fargo 4s.
11:20Celebrini played in the USHL, Fantilli, Cole Sillinger, a lot of big names.
11:25And it's just getting better, like, each year, like we were saying.
11:27This gets more and more legitimate, more and more established,
11:31and this is one of, if not the premier junior hockey league here in the US.
11:36Here, we just got word, the actual 4s game going down tonight.
11:39Me and Strive are going to be jumping this and sitting right here.
11:44We are going to be between the benches for the game tonight.
11:47I don't know if they're going to be, like, putting up glass or if we are literally just,
11:51like, we're just going to hear the chirps going back and forth.
11:53We're going to have the camera in here so we can get some sick shots of the game for you guys tonight.
11:57This may be, I mean, not maybe.
12:00This is the best view for a hockey game that I've ever seen in my entire life.
12:04So just imagine this barn packed up with people, chirps flying between the two benches.
12:09And yeah, it's just me and Strive chilling in here,
12:13hoping to stay alive because there's a good chance we will take a puck to the head.
12:17All right, but that's what's going down.
12:19Seven o'clock tonight. We'll be right in here.
12:21Let's go.
12:22Special guest here. Tell the people who you are.
12:23I'm Colin McRae.
12:24There was rumors yesterday, we were talking, you might see a glove drop today.
12:28What are the thoughts on that going into today?
12:31Yeah, you know, I might do it. There's got to be a reason.
12:33You know, if like one of the boys gets upset, then yeah, like you got to drop him, of course.
12:37But like if coach puts me out there to fight, like, yeah, I'll drop him with someone.
12:41Might see him drop him today. 15 minute penalty?
12:44Yeah, yeah, it's tough.
12:45Yeah, so hopefully you want to do it in the first, like in like the start of the game.
12:49So then you have like the whole rest of the game to play.
12:50But okay, yeah, it's tough to have that 15 minute and just sitting there.
12:54But if you beat him, then that's a plus for you.
12:57Well, we're going to be sitting here between the benches in period two.
13:00So if you go out there and score a goal for me in period two, I'd be appreciative.
13:03All right. Good luck tonight.
13:05This guy's eating a blizzard before his game.
13:07What are you doing? I'm hungry.
13:09He's getting dialed in. You guys just wanted to shoot out, yeah?
13:13Who scored the game winner? Colton.
13:16No one that's even here. Come on, man.
13:18All right. Hey, tell them to like and subscribe. Like and subscribe!
13:23What is going on here in Fargo, man?
13:25This is Derek's room, or D-Bomb we call him.
13:28Oh, look at the, we already got the Quench in here.
13:32They're loaded up. Holy. Is that all the way back?
13:35Oh my gosh, dude. That is a lot of Quench.
13:38Yeah, we load it up. Is that the go-to beverage back here?
13:40Yeah, we got, I mean, they hook us up.
13:42So everybody uses it and we got like all the supplements over here and everything you need.
13:47Like Steph, our strength coach, she's really good with all this stuff.
13:50What's your, what's your go-to? You got like a special smoothie over here?
13:53Yeah, actually, I got to make that one. Yeah, cook it up for us.
13:55Cook it up for you guys. So we got the smoothie blenders over here.
14:04Probably fill in some raspberries. Oh my gosh, I didn't know all this was in here.
14:08Yeah, no, we got fruit in there. Get these guys going.
14:12Perfect for proper measurement. Yeah, close enough.
14:15Does D-Bomb tell you guys like you have to eat a certain way?
14:18Or is this something you've kind of made yourself that you like?
14:21No, it's just like, I think most guys kind of get their protein in after skates and stuff.
14:25And yeah, I've kind of made smoothies since I was younger.
14:27So it's nice having all this here.
14:29So we got like collagen, creatine, protein, glutamine.
14:33We got, I mean, we got supplements all up there.
14:36So it's really everything. Yeah, everything you can need.
14:40Make sure that we're ready to be our best when we can. Eyeball this again.
14:44Let's see what the Fargo fridge here has for us.
14:46Oh, the true mood. Oh yeah. Dude, that is the best.
14:50This is my childhood right here. A little true mood for the boys.
14:53Oh, yeah. You got to be kidding me. Five scoops in-ish.
14:5750 grams does the trick. Good color on that too. That's a good looking smoothie.
15:01Hey, get us, we got to try a little bit of that. Yeah, yeah, get a cup.
15:05Hey, hey, no, no, no. It's good, it's good.
15:08All right, all right. You need more for you, dude.
15:09It's a big force win tonight, huh? Yeah. Let's go.
15:12Cheers, fellas.
15:16Wait, that's actually, wait a minute. This guy might be honest about it.
15:19Yeah, I dialed in. Oh, yeah.
15:22Dude, it's like a, it's like a raspberry cream kind of mix,
15:25you know, like the vanilla mix in there. Fin on the smoothies.
15:28That was, I mean, we're not going to be, we're going to be realistic.
15:31It's a 7, it's a 7-3, but with the homemade, no measurements. 7-3.
15:36No, it's good. That's very good. Yeah, I like that. I'll take that.
15:39Standards are pretty low. I was a little worried.
15:41Shout out to D-Bomb letting us chill in here.
15:43We're going to drink the smoothie, hit the shooting room.
15:46Little competition is going down. I don't know what you have on your face.
15:48There's a feather on your face. Little competition going down.
15:51We have not had a proper radar gun at He-Way Marina yet.
15:54So me and Koei are going head-to-head against Fin in a little radar gun challenge.
16:00Defense him with a bomb shot or roller scrubs that play beer league.
16:04We're going to see who has the hardest shot. Let's go.
16:07I don't know. I still bomb them.
16:11This is any hockey player's paradise. Being able to come over and shoot pucks
16:15whenever you want, you just can't beat this.
16:18We got heavily distracted in here.
16:20And of course, Fin had the hardest and most accurate shot of us all,
16:24but Cody was a close second. We couldn't leave the room without a little friendly bet.
16:28So I took on Colin and Fin from the force. Last one to hit the target does a punishment.
16:34We have two targets in the net. You can hit either of them.
16:37Last to hit a target is going to have to do a dry scoop of, what are we doing, creatine?
16:42Dry scoop of creatine from D-Bomb.
16:44All right, we got two targets in the net. Person who doesn't hit it is out.
16:47Let's go. Okay, just so you guys know, it is a very small target.
16:51These green targets are tough. NHL guys are struggling on these.
16:55Yeah, I told you. Oh, how'd that not hit?
17:00Oh. There it is.
17:04Uh-oh. All right. Oh, no. Colin's got his.
17:08Uh-oh. Protein powder on the line.
17:12Oh, my. That is unreal.
17:16Oh, a little high.
17:21Let's go. Oh, my God.
17:25Oh, no. Finner's taking it.
17:28Oh, boys, I do not want to have my day ruined.
17:31Last time we had a challenge, it was a hot chip challenge for me for weeks.
17:33I think this one would be, this one. Yeah.
17:36This isn't going to affect your play tonight, is it? No.
17:38It's a good thing I forgot my creatine and smoothie, so.
17:40Oh, it's perfect. I'll mix it in.
17:41All right, we're going to go hit up D-Bomb, get him his creatine,
17:45and we'll take a look at the rest of the play.
17:47Well, unfortunately, Fin, you did take the L in the shooting challenge.
17:50Yeah, I did. He's got his creatine ready to go.
17:52There is a worry that the powder is going to go everywhere,
17:54but we're just going to make do. Let's get in there, buddy.
17:56Cheers. I think it's going to be like the cinnamon challenge,
18:01where like after, although the puffs are coming out,
18:05it's like once it gets down, it's going to be bad.
18:08When can I have water?
18:12You know, if you got to spit it out, you got to spit it out.
18:14I'm making progress. That went way better than I thought, honestly.
18:17Maybe we're not done yet. Okay, I think I'm all right.
18:20Let's go. What a guy. What a guy. He did it.
18:23Yeah. While he does that,
18:26I'm just going to go ahead and grab my True Moo.
18:28You want one, Code? Take a True Moo. Anyone else?
18:32True Moos? Pass out True Moos.
18:35What True Moo got? True Moos. Let's go.
18:38Now that we got his creatine out of the way,
18:40I think it's time for you to show us the locker room.
18:42Yeah, let's go check it out. Place is pretty sick, I've heard.
18:45Yeah, it's decked out. As you walk in, you got like stick rack and shoes.
18:50Let's see the twig. What do you got over here?
18:51Yeah, we got a little blacked out Hyperlite 2, P28, A2 Flex lefty.
18:59Yeah, the blacked out. So the force, like,
19:01I think you guys have like the cleanest, simplest jerseys in the league.
19:03It's just like black and white, a little bit of gray in there.
19:06That's sick. Yeah, it's nasty. Goes well with the unis.
19:09With Bauer, can you, are you able to like fully customize your blade if you wanted to?
19:13Yeah. Have you messed with that at all?
19:14I haven't, no, just because like with ordering sticks and stuff,
19:17you don't want to kind of, you know, abuse it.
19:19Okay. Like, you know, they do a lot for us.
19:20So kind of just keep the simple curves. You just like the stock P28?
19:23Yeah, I haven't really messed around with any other different curves,
19:26but yeah, I like this one a lot. I think he maybe has a goal in us tonight.
19:29We'll see. Oh, yeah. I think you got one in.
19:31Yeah. If you score on second period, we're going to be between the glass.
19:34You score a goal. I'll tell you what. Oh, yeah.
19:37That'll be a banger. That'll be a banger.
19:39Yeah. We walk into the room. We got a couple of boys hanging out,
19:42taping their sticks, TV and, you know, boards from coach.
19:45And then the lights up top is definitely my favorite part.
19:49Like I feel like it's just so like cinematic.
19:51Yeah, you got my stall over here, side crater, just chillin'.
19:55Yeah. Give us a, let's see the gloves.
19:57What do you got? Let's see what the gear looks like.
19:58Yeah, it's no black though. So simple.
20:00Yeah. Your logo is just sick.
20:03Yeah, it's nasty. Yeah. Then we got pants, whatever.
20:06You got a little storage space underneath.
20:08You got to clean that up. Keep like the workout shoes, you know,
20:11lace bike guards, whatever else you need skate guards.
20:14How many teams have you been on now?
20:16That's my second team in the USA. Okay.
20:17This is without a doubt like the best. Yeah.
20:20This is the best setup. Yeah, it's the best setup in the league.
20:22Like we're spoiled here. It's unreal. I mean facilities, best in the league.
20:26Probably would be one of the top ones in college hockey.
20:29Sick. So sick. Yeah. No, it's unreal.
20:31So the rumor is I might be doing the lines here before the game.
20:37So we'll get the boys fired up here in the locker room.
20:39I don't know. We got to get ready for that one.
20:41Yeah, no boys and me bossing for that.
20:43So it is title wave ride the wave night here in Fargo,
20:46which means we do have the special Hawaiian jerseys.
20:49Yeah, let's pull out yours.
20:52In the NHL, you guys kind of see they do special like warm-up jerseys.
20:56In the USHL here, they're doing special jerseys for the entire game.
21:00So they'll be rocking the Hawaiian fit.
21:02I mean, that's wild. That's nasty.
21:05What's the craziest jersey you guys have had this year?
21:08I mean, these are pretty wild. Yeah, they're definitely up there.
21:10We had some Christmas jerseys that were sick. Oh my.
21:16On the JBL sticker.
21:19Yeah, we had like these Christmas jerseys that were really sweet
21:21and then had our like hometown heroes military night jerseys.
21:24We made helmets with those too.
21:26So they usually like auction them off for charity or everything.
21:28Yeah, we'll usually auction them off like we'll do like either online
21:31or like in person or people bid on them
21:33and then put the proceeds to whatever charity is supporting.
21:36That's sick. Yeah.
21:37I think tonight's jerseys are going to the sled hockey organization that we did.
21:41Yeah, we're going to actually be back on the ice doing a little sled hockey at intermission today.
21:45Me and Cody. So you'll be seeing us out there repping the jerseys as well.
21:49Yeah, decked out. Dry stalls.
21:52So the guys can come in and kind of change into their gitch,
21:54you know, do whatever they got to do pregame.
21:56Yeah. Yeah, a little bathroom and showers here.
21:59So we got our video, TVs, whiteboards.
22:02So that's where coach goes over our system stuff pregame.
22:06Power play, penalty kill, pre-scout.
22:08They'll do individual videos as well for the guys.
22:11So you guys watch and film on every team you play.
22:13You're setting up their film and seeing what they're up to and everything.
22:16Yeah, every team we play, you know, we got to go through our preparation
22:19and process, make sure we're ready to go for the game
22:21and prepared for their tendencies and it helps us have success.
22:26Yeah, this is, I mean, this is phenomenal.
22:27Having like the blessing of having everything in one place like this is like,
22:31there's not very many places to have this.
22:33Like you got the gym right over there.
22:34You got D-Bomb over there and then everything that you need here in the locker room.
22:37So perfect setup here in Fargo.
22:39Yeah, it's unreal. Dude, we appreciate you showing us around.
22:42Oh! Oh! I'm glad we got that on camera.
22:45I think next up for the day, what, you're just going to go,
22:47we're going to take some naps, like chilling for the afternoon
22:49and then we're going to meet Finn back over here at the rink.
22:51I think me and Cody actually were thinking we're going to go try to hit up an ODR.
22:55Hey, enjoy the nap. We'll see you here this afternoon.
22:58Yeah, sounds good. Let's go, man.
22:59All right, before we head out, we got to take a look at the arena in its entirety.
23:03Obviously, you guys saw it down at the ice level,
23:05but we want to kind of show you guys how nice this place really is.
23:09So this is Shields Arena. It fits about 5,000 people on a game night in it.
23:13So enclosed, like when these seats fill up
23:16and you have people screaming from all angles,
23:18I think this is going to be absolutely electric tonight.
23:21You can kind of get a view of the arena here.
23:24Beautiful setup. You've got the suites up top, scoreboard up there as well.
23:28And I mean, there's not a bad seat in the house, right?
23:31It doesn't matter where you sit. You're going to have a good view of the ice.
23:34What did we get ourself into? I don't know.
23:36Well, we're going to be in between the benches, on the ice, in a suite.
23:40We're going to be literally everywhere this game.
23:42Should we tell the people what we're getting up to?
23:45Or do we just leave it for a surprise?
23:48All right. I'm not nervous about the game, about any of that behind-the-scenes stuff.
23:52What I'm nervous about is, during the second period,
23:55me and Cody are going to be getting in cans of a beverage. Giant cans.
24:01I'm talking, these are like 10-foot cans that we're getting into.
24:04They're heavy. We're going to be racing around the ice.
24:06It's not during intermission. This is while all the players are on the bench,
24:10TV timeout, me and Cody are going onto the ice, racing around.
24:15I was told we have to race from the blue line to blue line, and then turn around and go back.
24:20We have to stop and turn around on our shoes.
24:22Best of luck, buddy. Best of...
24:25Yeah, luck for both of us.
24:27Last stop before game time here, we're going to hit the ODR that Finn recommended,
24:30called the Lights Park. Apparently a pretty sick little ODR.
24:34So we're just going to go skate over there, and then we'll be back at the rink here in a couple hours.
24:39It's going to be kind of cold, so it might be short.
24:40All right, we've just pulled up to the ODR.
24:42I mean, first of all, we have to admire how beautiful the North Dakota outdoor rinks are.
24:46We got the wooden boards. I mean, I can't say I've been to a rink with the full wood around the side.
24:51It looks like, you know, a pig pen or something in here, but...
24:56Honestly, the ice is very good.
24:59Like, I'm surprised because they just got like a couple feet of snow.
25:02Like, this is some of the best ODR ice that I've ever seen.
25:06When we mentioned earlier, the white, the black, the gray, cleanest jerseys in the league by far.
25:11All right, we had some very special guests join us out on the rink.
25:15So instead of me versus Cody, we're going to do a little 2v2.
25:17And same thing, loser is going to have to do the snow angel.
25:20There is some fresh powder over here that we're going to go right into.
25:22So that's the plan. You know, no going easy today.
25:25We'll show you our special guests here in a moment.
25:26They're getting ready, and then, yeah, it's game over for them.
25:29Special guests, do you want to say something to the fans?
25:32Hi, like and subscribe to Nasher. He's so good.
25:35Appreciate that. We got Maddie, who's going to be on my team.
25:37Oh, our puck's gone.
25:38Um, uh, uh, hashtag ASU Knights, uh, like and subscribe.
25:43Straight and baggy.
25:44Always plug, man. Always plug. Respect. Respect.
25:46They just pulled up to the rink. We'll do a little 2v2.
25:48Me and Maddie versus Cody and Thomas. Let's go.
25:51Oh, coast it.
25:53Wait, he's going coast to coast.
25:55Cody.
25:57Nothing.
25:59Oh, no.
26:00We're gone.
26:03Ooh!
26:06I told you we're not going easy on these kids. I tell you what.
26:09Little back hit, Toby.
26:11We're good. We're good.
26:121-0. I think we're locked down.
26:14Hey, we're going. What are you doing? We're going.
26:17We're going.
26:19First to three.
26:21Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
26:24Go ahead.
26:26Yep, you got it. You got it.
26:28Jeez.
26:33Let's go.
26:35Yeah.
26:37All right, that's two.
26:392-0. Good, guys.
26:41One more goal. We're going home warm.
26:43Let's go.
26:47Shoot it. Hurry. Hurry.
26:48Oh!
26:50All right.
26:58Yeah!
27:00Let's go.
27:02That hater's dabbing us.
27:04Me and Maddie came out on top.
27:06I've never been this gassed in my entire life.
27:09They got to do the snow angel, man. Rules are rules.
27:11He's lost his foot. He's burning.
27:13He's burning.
27:15Yeah, it looks nice, boy.
27:16Wow, what a game. What a game.
27:18Nasher's having some fun.
27:20I just got to cut in here.
27:21I have absolutely no idea what is happening.
27:23I was at a meet-and-greet meeting like 1,000 fans,
27:26and these guys are out here just eating food.
27:28But you know what? This is good content,
27:30so enjoy Cody and Trefty stuffing their faces.
27:33They brought me absolutely none of this
27:35except one little donut.
27:37Thanks, boys.
27:38Two bites each. One bite for the initial.
27:40Okay. And then a second one just to make sure
27:42like it wasn't a bad spot of the food.
27:44We can't just, you know, it's got to be consistent.
27:46Okay. That's where the review comes from.
27:48All right. We'll go out at 10? At 10. At 10.
27:51But I got soft hands, so.
27:54That's good popcorn. I'm going to go 7 out of 10.
27:57It's a little salty.
27:58I gave it a 7.2. I'm going to go down to a 6.5.
28:00I think the first thing they said was the pizza.
28:03Yeah. The first thing they said was pizza.
28:04It's cash only, though.
28:06You told me not to bring cash.
28:07Trefty's going to hit up the almonds.
28:08Not a big almond fan.
28:09I feel like it would be unfair for me
28:11to give an honest review
28:12because I'm probably going to give it a 2 no matter what.
28:14And I'm going to be a harsh critic
28:15because back in the day,
28:17Allen County War Memorial, great nuts.
28:19So I'm a strict critic, so.
28:21All right. Let's go.
28:22He's going to eat the roasted nuts.
28:23Dude, are you serious right now?
28:24Look at this. Turn around.
28:26This is our camera guy, Lee.
28:28Another camera guy?
28:28Yeah. All right. Two bites.
28:30Okay. Roasted nuts.
28:32I think this is like a solid 7.
28:34They've been a 9 before.
28:35Yeah. 7.5. I'm not going to lie.
28:36I'm going to go 7.5.
28:37I'm going to give it an 8.
28:39I'm not even kidding.
28:40On to the next one, which was?
28:41Walking taco. Taco in a bag.
28:43She said taco in a bag.
28:44It's a walking taco. Walking taco.
28:46They came with straws?
28:47The slow-mo drip here? Slow-mo?
28:50Honestly, I have no idea what we're doing.
28:52This is a 12 out of 10.
28:53It's taco stuff on a Dorito.
28:55There's no meat on that thing.
28:55Yeah, because you took it off.
28:58This is exactly why.
29:01No way.
29:05The best walking taco on the planet,
29:07in an arena, is in Columbus 100%.
29:09They literally put Chipotle on the Doritos.
29:13If you're in Fargo, walking taco is the best so far.
29:15This was the first Columbus heat hat we made.
29:18I think we made 150, 200 of these.
29:21How many did we make of these?
29:22500?
29:23So we made 500 of these.
29:25He's got one.
29:26It's nuts, honestly.
29:27This actually looks really good.
29:28I like the pepperoni under the cheese.
29:29Yep. That's good. Always huge.
29:31And I like thin crust.
29:32I'm a thin crust kind of guy,
29:33so this is for me, I think.
29:35Cheers.
29:37Could use more sauce.
29:38I'm just a sauce guy.
29:39I'm going to give it an 8.2 out of 10.
29:41I'm just going to go 8.
29:42I like it. It's good.
29:43Now it's the donuts.
29:44All right. Cheers.
29:45It's a 9.
29:46It's the best thing I've had here tonight.
29:48For sure.
29:49I'm going to go 9.
29:50I still like the walkie taco better.
29:51It's very good.
29:51All right. So we tried everything.
29:53Number one ranked thing here at the arena are the donuts.
29:56I know this man has been wanting the donuts.
29:58All right. Be honest.
29:58How's Cody been doing with the vlog content here?
30:01I've been doing just fine.
30:02I've been doing good.
30:03Meet and greet's been buzzing.
30:04We are almost finished up here.
30:06What a way to end it with a little donut.
30:08It's good.
30:10The donuts are good.
30:11We've been doing two bites.
30:12They're warm. They're soft.
30:13Oh my gosh.
30:14That might be the first 9-2 food we've had on the trip.
30:17Try to cut back.
30:18We got some games coming up.
30:20Gotta be dialed.
30:21Cody's not dialed as you can see.
30:22I don't know what you've ate so far,
30:25but it probably has not been.
30:26I've eaten one or two things of it,
30:27and then I usually give it to someone.
30:28We've been feeding the employees.
30:29After the cameras go off,
30:30I'll take some more.
30:319-2.
30:319?
30:32Oh, the...
30:32Not...
30:35Not...
30:36It is now officially game time,
30:38and I'm just going to warn you,
30:39we got into the most random side quest that you could ever imagine.
30:43I'm going to be announcing the starting lineup,
30:46doing a ceremonial puck drop,
30:47playing sled hockey in front of a sold-out crowd,
30:51and finishing it off by running around in giant cans.
30:54And of course, we will finish the day between the benches
30:57where absolute chaos occurs.
31:00Look at Nordburn.
31:02That man is a giant.
31:03They got somebody bigger than Nordburn.
31:05These are the guys to watch.
31:07Now that we got some full jerseys out here,
31:09you guys gotta rate the fit down there.
31:11With the socks.
31:11We haven't seen the socks yet.
31:13So clean.
31:14That must be a pretty clean jersey, man.
31:16Two falls.
31:17Credit where credit's due.
31:18They got a little bit more size than our Fargo guys,
31:20but I tell you what,
31:22these boys are playing with heart tonight, alright?
31:24I think we're going to see something special between the benches.
31:32We do have to give a special shout out to all the Heat fans in the arena.
31:34Look at them.
31:36We're taking over Fargo.
31:38Let's go.
31:45Alright, we've got a couple days.
31:49We get that fun when we get excited.
31:51It's just a good feeling.
31:52Yeah.
31:53Yes, sir!
31:54Yeah!
31:57And the boys are buzzing today, alright?
31:59Yeah!
32:02Alright, first of all, I just want to say thank you, boys,
32:04for welcoming us to the Force family.
32:06Over the course of the last couple days,
32:07you guys have had a very special group in this building.
32:10We're going to do the starting line-up here today.
32:12If you guys don't mind getting a little warm.
32:13Yeah!
32:15Alright, left wing, the 110% band.
32:19We've got Ronnie.
32:20Hey!
32:21Center, we've got Stenori, the sniper.
32:24Hey!
32:25We've got Stormy's mother,
32:27Steve Seltzer at right wing.
32:29Hey!
32:30Left D, we've got the hometown boy,
32:32thrilled, but thrilled.
32:33Hey!
32:34Right D, we've got Stig Perls, like we read about day in the life band.
32:39Center.
32:39Hey!
32:40And in between the pipes,
32:42we've got Lendo.
32:43Hey!
32:44Woo!
32:47Hey, we've got 5,000 people, sold out crowd over here.

35:24We're joining the sled hockey squad.
35:26We got a little warm up in yesterday.
35:29Things did not go well for either of us.
35:30No, not at all.
35:32But we're going to go out here and give it our all.
35:33It's just like five minutes on the ice,
35:35as hard as we can go.
35:37These kids are buzzing.

35:38We got put in the competitive group.
35:40So we got to play against,
35:41I'm telling you there's going to be future
35:43sled hockey Olympians out here.

35:48I think I'm playing against you.
35:49I'm on the white team.
35:51I'm going to body you in front again.

39:25This is a blast.
39:26It's hard.
39:27You guys are awesome.
39:28Think about trying to miss you behind the net.
39:30I knew you were looking at it.
39:31Yeah, I took a push.
39:32Thank you very much.
39:37Oh, gosh.
39:38That was sick.
39:39A little bit.

39:50Thanks, guys.
39:51Thank you, guys.
39:51Hey, you wanna get a picture?
39:53Yeah.

39:54Turn that way.
39:56All right, fellas.
39:57I don't know what we got ourselves into,
39:58but we're out here.
40:00I'm gonna win this thing.
40:01Whoa, chill.
40:02Two, one, go!
40:04We're winning.
40:06We're going.

40:21This is not for me.
40:24No, we're going.
40:31No!
40:32Let's go.
40:34Next side quest of the trip.
40:36We got the t-shirt gun.
40:37We are on a moving Zamboni with the ride above it.
40:40We got the tidal wave boys here,
40:42and we got all the fans over to the side.
40:44We are up.
40:48We're gonna make this place go wild, all right?
40:51Score update, it's a two-one hockey game.
40:54Fargo is down two to one right now,
40:56so we gotta turn the momentum around a little bit with this.
40:58Appreciate you, boys.
40:59Let's go.
41:01Let's go.
41:05No.
41:08We're gonna sit in Geo for like five minutes
41:09while you chuck a puck.
41:10We're about to get pelted with chuck a pucks.
41:13Oh, chuck a puck.
41:14Oh.
41:15We're about to get hit with chuck a pucks.
41:16Holy, dude.
41:19This is unreal.
41:21Little like, oh.
41:25Hey.
41:28Oh, you can win like, oh.
41:30We got a lot of prizes on there.
41:32This is sick.
41:33What did we sign up for, dude?
41:36You've never seen chuck a puck?
41:38How do you clean these up?
41:39All those kids that were screaming,
41:40they come out and clean them up.
41:40Oh, what a play.
41:42What free labor.
41:43They're probably gonna wash the sand, so get ready.
41:44Okay.
41:45Let's go.
41:51Let's go.
41:52We're at two-hundo.
41:53Wait, wait, wait, don't aim that at somebody.
41:55How does it go?
41:56Up, up, up.
41:57Put it up.
41:58It's not going.
42:00It's not going.
42:01The safety.
42:02There you go.
42:04Oh.
42:05Oh.
42:07All right, let's send this.
42:13Oh.
42:15Holy, I almost bodied that guy.
42:17All right, we'll hit this side and Cody's going.
42:19Oh, God.
42:20I'm going three-hundo.
42:23Force up top.
42:25Oh.
42:26Dude, I almost nailed him.
42:28What a shot.
42:29You're gonna throw all yours?
42:31What?
42:32You're supposed to take your time.
42:33Oh.
42:36Oh, oh, we double-headshot.
42:41How many did you shoot?
42:43We got like three left.
42:44One more.
42:48We're going three-hundo.
42:50Just launch it.
42:51Launch all the way.
42:55Right there, back.
42:55Shoot it back, shoot it back, shoot it back,
42:56shoot it back.
42:57No, other way.
42:58No, shoot it, shoot it.
43:00Oh my.
43:01Oh my.
43:04Hey, let's go.
43:04One more.
43:05Let's go.
43:07Where's it at?
43:08Oh, tough, that's too much.
43:09It's gonna hit the ceiling.
43:12Over there, across, across.
43:20Oh, what a flag.
43:22What a flag.
43:24Now we're in the awkward lap.
43:26Man.
43:27Oh, we got the, all right, T-shirt cannon.
43:30Absolute success.
43:31We were, I mean, launching bombs.
43:33I was gonna throw that out on the way.
43:34Perfect snag, the one-handed snag to end it.
43:37We got the bright lights, blue lights going on now.
43:40This has been a dream come true.
43:41Sled hockey, T-shirt cannon is a first for everything.
43:45My dreams are coming true.
43:47Now all we need is a win in the third period.
43:49Me and my boy Strive, we're going between the glass
43:52for the third period of this hockey game.
43:54Let's go.
43:55I don't know how this has happened.
43:56So third period of the game, not an exaggeration.
44:00The force will be right here.
44:02We have a little piece of glass.
44:04Sioux Falls is right here with no glass.
44:07All I'm saying is second period,
44:08there were a couple scrums.
44:09Boys started going at it.
44:10We are literally going to be hearing every single chirp,
44:13everything that's mentioned out on this ice, we will hear.
44:17Might be a lot of censoring going on,
44:18but you guys will see and hear
44:20everything that goes on out here.
44:22All right, we got the refs taking some laps here to start.
44:24Who wants to, anybody?
44:26Don't actually go for the camera, bro.
44:28Yes, sir.
44:29Don't actually go for the camera, it's not you.
44:31No way.
44:32Yes.
44:34All right, boys, they're getting ready to drop the gloves.
44:36We got the instant chirps
44:37right when we get behind the bench here.
44:40Yeah.
44:42Oh.
44:43Oh, baby.
44:51All right, they're dropping them next shift.
44:53We just got the inside scoop.
44:55All right.
44:58I want one tonight.
44:59Why not?
45:01Why not tonight?
45:02Come on.
45:07No.
45:08I'll go tomorrow night, too, if you want.
45:17All right, here we go.
45:18We'll see if it actually happens here.
45:23Oh.
45:26What a hit.
45:27Ref took one, too, there.
45:30Oh.
45:44All right, boys are heading to the PK.
45:45Dumped him in front of the net.
45:46We're going to be down a man here, three minutes in.
45:55Shoot it.
45:59What a save.
46:02Good D.
46:09More.
46:10Go ahead.
46:11More.
46:12Go ahead.
46:13Are you kidding me?
46:18Yeah.
46:20Here we go.
46:21Yeah.
46:23No way.
46:24Was that Finny?
46:25Ew.
46:28There it is, Finny.
46:30There it is, baby.
46:33Finny buries it.
46:35Oh, my God.
46:37Dude, he said he was going to dip one today.
46:39Are you kidding me?
46:40Finny, day in the life, kid.
46:42Let's go, baby.
46:442-2.
46:47Ew.
46:532-2.
47:18Oh, here we go.
47:22Here we go, Shelton.
47:23Here we go, Shelton.
47:25Oh.
47:26Oh.
47:30Here we go, Shelton.
47:32Oh, my God.
47:38Oh, my God.
47:41Holy.
47:43What a scrub.
47:45Here we go.
47:50Oh, my.
47:51They said they were going to drop it right when we got here.
47:54And what do you know?
47:55The fellas gave us maybe one of the better fights that I've ever seen.
47:59That was nuts.
48:00That thing felt like two minutes.
48:01They were just swinging.
48:04Helmet knocked off.
48:05They kept rolling.
48:07Shelton's a legend, dude.
48:08He said he was going to do it.
48:09He did it.
48:10That's what it's all about out here.
48:12So in the USHL, it's a 15-minute penalty, which means our boy Shelton's basically out
48:16for the game unless this goes to OT.
48:19I mean, he got the crowd and the boys definitely going.
48:22Let's see if that brings in the momentum here.
48:2413 minutes left, third period.
48:26Let's go.
48:45Oh.
48:48Oh.
49:04Get him.
49:14Got the boys on a change.
49:19It's going to be 3-2.
49:22Quick rush up the ice.
49:24Snipes it.
49:25Down 1.
49:2611 minutes left.
49:29Ew.
49:30Ew.
49:31Ew.
49:45Hands up.
49:46Hands up.
49:47Hands up.
49:48Appreciate that.
49:49Yeah, appreciate that.
49:50I thought that was the end for a moment.
49:51It's scary.
49:52Nowhere to go, dude.
49:53It's scary in here.
49:54I know.
49:56Ew.
49:57One more.
49:59Give us another.
50:01Oh my.
50:02Oh my gosh.
50:03No way.
50:04No way.
50:05The rushing.
50:06Oh my.
50:07Ew.
50:32No way.
50:33No way.
50:38Get in.
50:39Get in.
50:44Back up.
50:48Oh.
51:0210.
51:0910.
51:14They tied us.
51:19Yep.
51:20Yep.
51:24Oh, bad balance.
51:25Alright, down to the last minute and a half here.
51:27Going to have a goalie pull up coming soon.
51:293-2.
51:30One more from the boys.
51:31Let's see what they bring here.
51:32Last two minutes.
51:39That's it right here.
51:40No way.
51:42Save.
51:47Come on.
51:5245 seconds.
51:54Going to kill a lot of...
51:56Hold on to it at least.
51:58Ooh, he iced it.
51:59Ooh.
52:0015 seconds.
52:01We got the ice.
52:02Nita Ozo draw a win here.
52:03We got a timeout for us.
52:05We got Finn out there.
52:07Finney rips one from the point off the faceoff draw win.
52:11Nice win.
52:12Nice win.
52:13Over to Finney.
52:14Finney rips it.
52:15Bang.
52:18One more.
52:19One more.
52:20One more.
52:30That'll do it there, boys.
52:32Post game.
52:33Final score 3-2.
52:34Our boy, Finney, who we were following all day, buried it.
52:38I mean, first, just walk us through the play.
52:40Yeah, I mean, it's like a...
52:42I don't know.
52:43Call me.
52:44I can't say anything about it.
52:45But I got out of the box, and y'all dabbed me a really good play up to me.
52:48And I'm walking around 2-on-1.
52:50That was sick.
52:51So, yeah, it's my bump.
52:53And then, yeah, hit a little sick to Ellie.
52:55Ellie went crazy too.
52:56We were in the perfect spot.
52:57I mean, he hit it at the right time with us between the glass.
53:00You got to run it back versus those boys tomorrow.
53:02Oh, yeah.
53:03How are you feeling on that one?
53:04Yeah, I feel good.
53:05You know, it's a tight game today.
53:06Close one.
53:07They're a really good team.
53:08But, yeah, we heard dog night with their play, so it's going to be fun.
53:11So, yeah, I mean, we got to show some love.
53:13Again, show some love in the comments to our boy, Fin.
53:15He let us crash at his place all day, showed us around the place,
53:19and ultimately ended with a snipe there.
53:21They got a rematch versus those boys tomorrow,
53:23so make sure you tune into that and see if you guys can get the dub tomorrow.
53:26Yeah, of course.
53:27Thanks for everything, buddy.
53:28Yes, sir.
53:29We will be in touch, and maybe we'll follow him through his next journey,
53:31wherever that is.
53:32Yeah, there we go.
53:33See you, buddy.
53:34All right, man.
53:35See you next time.
53:36Well, one of the crazy things about junior hockey is you never know
53:38when you'll just have to get up and move your entire life.
53:41Literally the day before we were set to post this video,
53:44Fin was traded to the Muskegon Lumberjacks.
53:47So, show some love to Fin in the comments down below as he moves
53:50and gets ready to pursue yet another Clark Cup.
53:54If you guys enjoyed this video,
53:55we'll do another one where we follow Fin to the University of Denver
53:59where he's already committed to play D1.
54:01All right.
54:02That is a day in the life of a junior hockey player in the USHL.
54:06I mean, that really was probably one of the coolest experiences that I've ever had.
54:11We got to knock a few things off the bucket list.
54:14We shot the T-shirt cannon.
54:16We played sled hockey.
54:17And we sat between the benches and saw, I mean, some of the nastiest goals
54:22and definitely the nastiest fight that I have ever seen in person.
54:25I mean, we literally got to do everything.
54:27They basically gave us the keys to the arena and said run.
54:29And we're like, okay.
54:31I don't know if there's anything to do other than what we did the last two games.
54:35No, we hit every single part of this arena that you could see.
54:38We talked to everyone.
54:39We met the commissioner of the USHL.
54:41It's crazy.
