I think the Vegas Golden Knights equipment manager should earn an assist on this Stanley Cup Finals goal

A lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes during a hockey game, but this might just be the highlight of the year for equipment managers.

Check out this unrecorded-but-totally-noteworthy assist on a Stanley Cup Finals goal by Vegas Assistant Equipment Manager J. W. Aiken.

(Keep an eye out for the broken stick out in front of the net)

Wow, dude essentially just scored a point on the stat sheet in a Stanley Cup Finals game...

Absolutely clutch!

Like, he got the stick ready before his guy's stick even broke.

How did he sense that?

A few more team wins like that and Aiken and the Golden Knights will be hoisting the Stanley Cup.
