Breakfast with Ray Bourque, seriously...

On June 11 there will be a breakfast with Ray Bourque in town. He will then be at a local golf course (not playing) in support of a new pediatrics ambulance for our city. All money raised will be donated to MD Ambulance. I asked and they are really hoping he will agree to an autograph session, no commitment on that yet. I have my Avs' Bourque and 2 Pucks ready for the day. Took an EDO from work so what a great way to spend a June day. I am looking forward to this one, anyone know if he is an eager signer?

Signed Flames Pucks-Boyd and Primeau


This might go down in my books as the coolest catch yet. I was curious about the Calgary Flames Better Half puck sale in Calgary for the first home games of this years playoffs against Chicago. I emailed one of the sponsors and someone got back to me with a idea. She called the Flames and found out here was only 2 pucks left; Wayne Primeau and Dustin Boyd. She got back to me and asked if I wanted them. I was eager to get anything so I said sure. I asked how much for the pucks and she said I was to make a donation of my choice to a charity of my choice. I got the pucks today with a Flames Blaze book. I kept my end and donated $45 to the Canadian Cancer Society in a family member's name. Holly man, what a great deal and great cause!

Ugh Toronto Maple Leaf Doug Gilmour Jersey

I was actually disappointed with these. He signed the Maple Leaf, which is fine but I wanted the 3 or 9 signed. The 12inch 3 signed number doesn't really look that good. :(




Theoren Fleury and Doug Gilmour Signed Flames Jersey



I actually knew Theo from years ago, he is from a town near my home town. As a kid, we never bothered asking guys who played on the NHL for autographs, Kelly Buchberger, Theo, Jeff Odgers. Now as a collector the chances are not as easy as they once were. Theo and Doug Gilmour did a signing in Calgary for Bossa Productions on April 4 and 5. I managed to get someone to get a whole bunch of stuff signed, there was a cost but worth it. Theo's rookie card from 89-90 was a neat item. And last not but least of the Flames items; a signed Gilmour Flames puck.
