1. Question from Mark Peets, via Facebook.
How many times is a jersey worn before it is taken out of the rotation?
Around 25 games. There are three sets per year.
2. Question from Joe Ouellet, via Facebook.
Hello Pierre, what percentage of sticks are kept by the players rather than returned because they don't like them?
I would say we return about 20 percent of the sticks we get. Sometimes, it's the company's fault and sometimes, the player changes his mind or doesn't like the look. But often, it's the company.
3. Question from @fatems_19, via Twitter.
Which players help you unload the gear?
After games, there are players like Shea Weber - he's the first - who will take their bag and bring it where we need them. There are six or eight players like that, like Weber, Paul Byron, Phillip Danault, Andrew Shaw.
