Want Your Opinions for My Upcoming NHL Goalie Museum Exhibit

Hello everyone, so as you all know, I post quite often with new additions to my goalie museum project that I have been at for several years now.

This year, on April 22-23, I will be having my fourth exhibit of the collection. It will be at the Summit Sports and Collectibles Show in Sherwood Park, Alberta. In a week or so, I will be submitting my paperwork to the organizer that finalizes my exhibit theme decision.

The first year, my exhibit was merely testing the waters and there wasn't a particular theme. The second year was an exhibit dedicated to Alberta teams and Alberta born NHL goalies and last year was an exhibit dedicated to the various tools of the trade of goaltending.

I have limited down my theme to two possibilities for the year.

1) "Here and Gone"- an exhibit dedicated to lesser known goaltenders who played less than 50 games in their NHL careers. This educational exhibit is dedicated to help fans learn about the goalies who they may not have heard about before in a fun and educational way. It is a way to teach the fans that not only the superstars paved the future of the game. Featured will be memorabilia of all varieties and will include NHL debut pieces, final game pieces, first shutouts pieces, etc.

2) "First and Finales"- an exhibit dedicated to the early accomplishments of rookie goalies, and the last saving graces of aging goaltenders exiting the game. This exhibit will feature pieces of many varieties and will include items used in NHL debuts, first shutouts, first losses, final games, finals wins, etc. It is both fun and educational in that many final games of mid to high level goalies were played with teams that one might not expect or remember those goalies playing for.
