AOA: Av's practice and a really S(t)ICK pickup
So while I have had a small break from paramedic school I have taken Austin over to a few Av's practices and the facility is right around the corner from our house.
Here's a few pics from the 2 times we went over the break and a new stick the big guy was given for his collection.
One happy dude!
One of the Av's all-time greats, Adam Deadmarsh
Rookie Brandon Yip
Lacroix times two: Eric and Pierre. (a rare sight seeing Pierre out at a practice) Austin is avoiding the sun in this one.
And finally, we were in practice one of these days, and Austin had seen a few of the Av's at the end of last year/beginning of this year and they promised him sticks. So he starts yelling at a few of them towards the end as a few guys linger, mess around, and shoot the last few pucks.
We go outside when they all clear out and wait where the players drive out. All of a sudden, one of the security guys starts yelling over the fence "Hey you, you guys". Obviously none of us where sure who they were talking to until he singled out Austin by his clothing. We walked over and Austin got handed this:
Here's a look at some damage on it and the insane toe hook!
Whose stick is it you ask?
A Team USA Olympian.

That is awesome. My son is only 2 1/2 and the past year he's really started to love hockey. I hope my son is still excited about it once he's your kid's age. Since we live in Columbus we get a lot of chances to go see practices as well.

Awesome stuff Barrie! I knew immediately the stick was Stastny's because it was a wooden stick lol Matt Duchene's stick triva has been burned in my brain after his draft video.
