They are incredible at what they do, and we appreciate their work.Even though we're here in Edmonton, it is important for us to recognize the work that's being done outside the bubble.Whether it's an amazing team of producers and editors cranking out content from their homes in the New York area.Or David Proper and his great team on the broadcast side that works on the broadcasts, rights and schedule.Or Steve Hatze Petros and Nicola Torchia who make that schedule.Or the incredible team of hockey operations personnel, led by Colin Campbell, Mike Murphy and Kris King, that work every single game in Edmonton and Toronto.Or the public relations staff that works around the clock from New York and Toronto putting out information to our fans, our broadcasters and our staff.Or our social media people led by Heidi Browning and Sean Dennison, who are working with teams in Edmonton and Toronto to crank out minute-by-minute content on all our social platforms.Or Kim Davis' social impact, growth initiatives and legislative team, who have been so supportive as we highlight heroes of our local communities during our broadcasts from both hub cities.Or the Department of Player Safety, which watches every minute of every game in New York and has to make really hard decisions daily. Two, I have been mentioning a lot of the hard work and efforts of many of our staff here inside the bubble, but also should recognized all the support this event is receiving from staff working some very long hours remotely from their home offices.
