Steve Mason Meets Martin Brodeur

[MasonRaymond0320]

Steve Mason approached Martin Brodeur after the Team Canada orientation camp. Mason now owns a Martin Brodeur autographed, personalized stick from him.

Here is a piece of the article.

"At the end of orientation camp (for Team Canada) back in August, we were both there," Mason said. "I didn't want to approach him right off the bat to be that annoying young guy, but after the camp was over, I approached him and he had no problem giving away one of his sticks and personalizing it for me. That was pretty nice."

Brodeur laughed when recalling that moment with Mason.

"It was no big deal," Brodeur said. "Hey, I asked Patrick Roy and (Wayne) Gretzky from things; it's just some of the nature. When you play with guys and never met them before, it's nice to get something off of them, especially from the people you look up to. I heard a lot about Steve last year when we played them, but I was still hurt. Hopefully, he doesn't play too good (Tuesday). I know asking Patrick (Roy) for something worked to my advantage when I first faced him. Hopefully, it doesn't backfire on me."

I would have charged him $50.

Then said j/k.
