Craig Simpson Oilers Puck, Trottier Islanders Puck
Nicholls Ranger Puck and Jimmy Mann Nordiques Puck

Bob Probert used my silver pen for every fan on the ice during the preskate. The pen ran out before I realized it. Hey Bob made sure every person on the ice before the game received an autograph. Can not knock the guy for that. Great stuff!
Anyways, Dave Ellett Leafs Puck,
Gary Leeman Leafs Puck,
Bob Propert Wings Puck

All the players except Ronning and Anderson, they hate fans....

Wayne Gretzky Signed Oiler Number

Purchased from a reputable dealer in town, Gretzky was here 1 month ago and was a very kind signer as we know. This person was able to get this signed during the two days Wayne was in town. Will turn into a Oilers jersey soon.

Wayne Gretzky signed Oilers Jersey-IP

We looked around for him earlier today with no luck. We came home for a bit and thought for a second, maybe just call it a success and not down down to the event. My wife, she is the best, said we should go and try and if we get it, good and if not, last night was a success. So we ended up in traffic and got there about 5:20pm. People were dressed up and we just walked with the bunches to the building. There was a statue of Gretzky in the front holding the Cup, kinda cool looking. We knew he'd show up in a limo, so we just waited. For about 20 seconds, seriously... A white limo showed up and out he stepped. I rushed out and Wayne walked over to the side door, no one around him. I asked him for an autograph and he actually did not hear me. I said it again and he said, "Sure". I said I was a teacher and the price tag for the event was too steep for me. I was then looking for my marker and was so bloodly nervous, I could not find it. I said to Wayne Gretzky, "Don't suppose you have a marker, I am so nervous I can not find mine.' He pulled out a blue sharpie and said, "Don't worry, its OK." That made me calm down a lot. He asked me where and what I taught. I told him high school history and he said I should talk to his dad, he knows tonnes about history. I said thanks and took 2 steps away. My wife was waiting to take my picture with him and he knew that. I turned back to see Wayne Gretzky with his arm out for me. I walked over and got my picture, again, with greatest hockey player to ever play the game. I ran all the way home then. LOL....A dad asked for a picture with his son and Wayne grabbed him around the shoulders to take the picture. A great two days. But the million dollar question, How on earth do I top this?

Ok, Ready? Card Show This Past Sunday...

Reggie Leach and Fast Freddie

Well today was very unique hounding day. I headed down to the BHP Family Fest to get into some trouble. The Stanley Cup was on display all day, and for a cost of $10, with proceeds going towards the Children's Hospital Foundation, you walk away with an 8X10 print out. As soon as I walked over to the Cup, the line was long so I had to move quick. Jeremy Boyer of the Saskatoon Blades was signing at the First Nations Hockey booth. I had my Blades puck ready and snagged the first. Jim Neilson was standing around visiting so I approached for an autograph on a blank puck. He was very reserved so I just thanked him and stood back. Reggie Leach was introduced seconds later to another fellow so I waited to approach him too. I asked Reggie to sign my #7 and a Bruins puck, explaining I could not find a Flyers puck. I asked him to personalize it and he asked how to spell my name. We chatted for a bit and I then got picture with him. He went so far as to ask one of his friends to take our picture. Reggie rules, I tell you. Flash forward to the official autograph signing, I waited to get to Leach, still following my cardinal rule, "never get greedy", passing on autographs from all the guys again. I asked Leach to take a picture of his Cup ring. He said, "Sure". I did and heard him say something. I said, "Ok", and soon had his cup ring in my hand. He allowed me to put his ring on and he actually took the picture. Yes, Reggie Leach Conn Symthe winner, took this picture.

Next on the agenda was Fast Freddie Sasakamoose. I missed him at the Juno Cup in Prince Albert three years ago so this was kind of cool to finally catch him. I got him on a Team Canada puck, he was curious about the color of the pen. I told him it was silver and he asked where to sign it. I said anywhere on the logo would be fine. He had a real nice slow signature. He laughed and said he liked how that looked and said he should keep that one. If you have ever heard Freddie, you know he's a real card, really funny guy.

Now I had to get over to get my picture with the Stanley Cup. There was about a 10 minute wait and then another hour for the picture print. On my way out the door, Leach was eating some chips standing at the booth. I took my chance and walked over asking him one thing before I left. I asked Reggie Leach; Who was tougher, Bobby Clarke or him? He laughed and said, "Clarke was a (*&*^%". OMG, that was funny, kinda think he was half serious though. Hmm. The Keeper of the Cup, Phil Pritchard was walking around so I chatted with him for abit and got him on a Team Canada puck, he added "Keeper of the Cup" inscription. Christmas is coming soon but I tell you, this feels like Christmas to me aleady.
