Voting: Show & Tell Contest 12.0 - Week 3!
I got this picture taken back in 2013. This was at the FanExpo in Toronto. I never got the chance to see him play but you never turn down an opportunity to meet a legendary player. This guy was nothing but a gentleman. I decided to wear my Whalers hat. He loved the hat and couldn't stop chatting with me with random chit-chat. I started to feel bad because a 5 sec picture turned into a 2 min conversation. The looks I got from the people in line could kill. I had to politely end the conversation. Here is my picture with Mr. Hockey
Back in 1998 I lived out in BC working for General Motors who had sponsorship the General Motors Place where the Canucks played. We were fortunate enough to get tickets that year for the NHL All Star Game and again at the time Bobby Orr was a spokesman for GM. It was quite a thrill to meet him and get some things signed by him at a preview night the night before the game. The next night we were walking down amongst the crowd and Bobby saw us and called out our names. It was shocking that he would even remember us at all. Quite the gentleman from what I can recall lol! He looks about the same today where as I have changed substantially lol! 21 years ago but still a great memory!
Annual Blues Breakfast (unsure of the year) at the MAC (Missouri Athletic Club).
So my picture is actually a series of pictures that tell a story (aweeks, if you have to pick only one for this contest please use the one overt his shoulder or with Debrincat). My daughter "took me" to a debrincat signing at a local meijer followed by ice cream for my birthday 1.5 years ago. We waited patiently in line to find out we were 3 behind the contractual number of autographs. We decided to wait anyways. While waiting, Tommy Hawk showed up and did a lot of damage to the aisles with his confetti and mobility cart driving. He came up to us in line and started playing with my daughter. He then proceeded to pick her up over his shoulder, put her in the mobility cart and then drove off. I had to collect our stuff and "lost" them. When i finally caught up to them, he was waiting for me to take a picture of them "with" Debrincat. She was the only one that day who got her picture taken with Debrincat.
Here is a photo taken on February 19, 2016, the Friday before the Sunday Outdoor Stadium Series game between the Wild and the Blackhawks. That Friday, the Wild team had a family skate with all the players and coaches and their families. Because Wild defenseman Marco Scandella's mom wasn't coming in until Saturday, he wanted to invite a kid battling cancer to skate with him. My son Connor, who was 13 at the time and going through chemo for brain cancer, got the call. Marco was amazingly great with Connor and it was a fun experience. The good thing about this, Marco has kept in touch with Connor ever since and has invited him to do some activities and visits. He is a special player and person!
Connor is now 2 1/2 years post treatment and has no evidence of disease (NED). He gets MRI scans every 6 months now and is finally getting back to being a normal high school kid.
Here is a photo from that night with Marco, Connor, my wife Kathy, myself, and one of my other sons, Trevor (L-R).
