Kim, 35, has spent the last two years working for the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors as their video coordinator assisting in video breakdown, analysis and scouting, while also helping with team travel, transaction logistics and immigration.

Believe it or not, Kim got his start working in hockey for the New York Islanders as their mascot between 2008-2011.
