On a somewhat related topic, it reminds me of when the moving truck with all of equipment for the Minnesota Wild caught on fire in 2009. There is a good article in the Athletic which came across my feed the other day (even though it's a few years old):

‘Your truck is on fire’: An oral history of the Wild’s infamous equipment blaze and the mad scramble that followed

...

It created a frantic 17 hours for the Wild, their trainers and their players, many of whom lost most or all of their equipment.

Martin Havlat, Andrew Ebbett, Cal Clutterbuck, Antti Miettinen, John Scott and Nick Schultz lost everything.

Shane Hnidy lost everything … except two left skates. Mikko Koivu lost everything but his skates. James Sheppard lost everything but his mouthguard. Both goalies, Niklas Backstrom and Josh Harding, had much of their gear destroyed.

Every stick was destroyed. All the pants. Medical supplies burned to a crisp. Sets of laundry disintegrated. Players lost personalized sets of protective equipment, like shot blockers and custom knee and foot braces.

News of the fire spread like, well … wildfire.

...

Schultz: At the morning skate, you just felt like a completely different player. Guys had bits and pieces kind of from everywhere trying to get their gear pieced together.

Proulx: Guys were wearing brand-new skates. Guys were wearing brand new gloves. One thing I can tell you, the guys may have said stuff to themselves, but there was never one word. Not one guy complained. It was unbelievable. That morning, when we got on the ice for that morning’s skate, it was incredible. It has all come together and we were on the ice. From that time, even the week or two after, nobody said, we never heard a word, of somebody bitching about something. And remember, this wasn’t just a one-game thing. Their equipment was destroyed. They had to break in new equipment for weeks. They just accepted it, it was an accident, and we moved on. Granted, we smelled like a campfire for at least two months, seriously. It was bad.

So yeah, changing in a crappy locker room... isn't that big of a deal IMO.
