Joe Veleno what's in the bag?

The Detroit Red Wings center breaks down his equipment and why he made certain stick choices

If you follow golf you’re probably familiar with the story concept of “What’s in the bag?”

For those who aren’t familiar with the concept, it’s essentially a story of which clubs players use and why they chose certain ones.

So why couldn’t we do that with hockey? Look at the equipment choices NHL players make and ask why.

So I did just that with Joe Veleno on Thursday after the Detroit Red Wings morning skate before they played they played the St. Louis Blues.

Players in general get more personal about two pieces of equipment, their stick and their skates, which is why stories within this realm are going to focus heavily on sticks and skates.
