Gretzky Jersey Update

Now, you might wonder why I choose this jersey to get signed. First, I wanted it to be different, maybe because as a kid, the sight of his jersey brought me to tears. Remember where I am from... Secondly, the cost of a nice Gretzky jersey was around $150. I put this one together for around $100. It turned out better than I thought it would, brought home by the nameplate I think. I can never complain about this particular 48 hours, the greatest hockey player ever, 3 autographs, 2 pictures with him and a 5 minute chat with him about teaching.

1988-89 OPC Cards

I plan to obtain every OPC card of Gretzky's and have them graded...I already have the rookie so it's downhill from here.

I was more nervous speaking to Nieuwendyk than Gretzky, but I'm from Calgary so that might explain it. I had to have this card in my collection.

Brayden Schenn Signed Brandon Wheat Kings Photo

Obtained through a friend at the same game we were at.

Saskatoon Blades vs Brandon Wheat Kings Playoff Game

Went to the game tonight in Saskatoon. Walked around the rink before the game looking to see who we could find. Only found my best friend who I had not seen in a year. Ended up just watching two periods and thought for the first time, I'd get skunked. During the second intermission we walked again and low ans behold, Rich Sutter was chatting with some Blades fans. I waited for a few minutes and asked him to sign a puck. I mentioned that I had asked Lukas if there was any relation when I had met him and said he looked up at me and I knew. I smiled and said you guys all look like a family. He said, "Thanks.". I shook his hand and off we went. Whew, never skunked.

The game did get ugly with some questionable calls in the 3rd period, garbage thrown on the ice, caused a delay. I will upload some of the videos tomorrow. Towards the end of the game we headed down behind the Wheaties bench, thinking twice though, some garbage still being thrown. The target was of course Schenn but the 3 Stars were announced and he was not one. Wheaties goalie, Andrew Hayes was the 2nd Star and came out. I leaned over and asked him if I could get an autograph and he replied signing a NHL puck. But no Schenn. From the WJC, I know what his dad looks like so I just waited close to Brayden's family and Brayden came from the dressing room about 30 mins later. I asked him but kinda laughed at this request. If you have ever met Brayden, he's super nice. I asked him for an autograph and he said, "Sure, where?" I held out a puck and said, "But it's your brother's team so maybe sign the back, that's all I could find." He would have signed the Leaf logo but I thought it's a nicer with the NHL logo. 3 pucks signed and called it a night. Rich Sutter did hang around to see Lukas after the game.

I was sitting on this one....

A friend was able to get a couple of pucks signed by the Great One at Canada Hockey House during the Olympics. He knew I'd love this, but I don't think he read my blog in February. Thanks though!

Calvin De Haan Signed Custom Card

Another custom card made by one of my students. He was very happy to get it back today.

Wow its late-->Went to a Blades game tonight and...

More to report tomorrow night, stop by. Here's the haul; Eberle signed Team Canada Jersey, Oiler puck and 2 Sutters! Papa Rich and Lukas who plays for the Saskatoon Blades. Oh, yah, I ran into an old friend from my hometown, Jeff Odgers.

Robyn Regehr, Joe Nieuwendyk and Eberle

Sent to the Calgary Flames. I mentioned how we had met his grandmother 2 years ago and she loved our Regher jerseys.

More World Junior Players-> Custom Cards

More custom cards from my students. They are just excited to start receive autographs from the World Junior Team. And of course, they say their teacher can have one!

Custom Made Nazem Kadri London Knights Card

This is really cool. After the World Junior Championship, I introduced a Candaian Hero mini unit in Social Studies. They each designed a card of a player, wrote them a letter and hoped for a response. Nazem Kadri sent this card back for her today. He signed 3 cards for her and guess who was asked if he wanted one? If you have met Nazem, it would not surprize you, he was the first to sign and return.

Hmm, an Olympic Kinda Day-Kim St. Pierre and Drew Doughty
