In today's episode of The Farm Team podcast I am pleased to be joined by the founder and president of VP Energy Services, Bear Trapp. This May, Bear and his Saskatchewan based company will be celebrating their 5th year in business. VP Energy Services is a private energy services enterprise that focuses on the transload, storage, and delivery of oil country tubular goods, down-hole oil-field equipment, and drilling fluids.

Born in Bal-cars Saskatchewan, Bear played his minor and junior hockey in the province. Playing 2 seasons for the Melville Millionaires before being traded to the Estevan Bruins where he put up an incredible 73 points in 50 games played. During his junior hockey tenure Bear earned an athletic and academic scholarship to play for the NCAA Division 1 Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT. In his freshman campaign with the Pioneers, Bear won the Atlantic Hockey Association Rookie of the Year award.

After graduating in 2009 Bear went on to play in 49 ECHL games split between the Elmira Jackals, Johnstown Chiefs, and the Idaho Steelhead. After his hockey career Bear moved back to Saskatchewan where he currently resides with his family. Bear and his company play an integral role in the exploration, production, and distribution of Western Canadian Oil & Gas products & In 2018 Bear was a finalist for the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.

I’m excited to have Bear on the show today to talk about his hockey and life experiences and hopefully shed some light on the entrepreneurial spirit the game of hockey can create.
