One of the hardest working members of Team Canada is a man you’ll never see on the floor during a game. He’s too busy behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly: that the players have their clean and correct uniforms; that their sticks are taped just so; that if any problems arise during a game they are fixed quickly. That man is Paul Wade, one of Team Canada’s equipment…
