LOS ANGELES — Darren Granger has made a habit of working overtime.

As the head equipment manager for the Los Angeles Kings, Granger has been along for the ride with one of the NHL’s most successful franchises. When the Kings aren’t winning Stanley Cups (2012 and 2014) or going on long post-season runs, Hockey Canada often comes calling with a post-season or pre-season assignment.

Granger never seems to say no.

"Our last five years have been busy, but a good busy," the 46-year-old Brandon native said during a short break in his work day Wednesday at the Kings’ practice facility in El Segundo, Calif.
