Colby Armstrong and Sheldon Brookbank Signed Pucks IP
CBC Hockey Night in Canada had their 'Play On' street hockey tournament this past Saturday in Saskatoon. Hundreds of people, kids, men and women played on six 'rinks' all day. The media game had 3 NHL'ers along with radio, TV and newspaper guys. Colby Armstrong (Atlanta Thrashers), Sheldon Brookbank (Anaheim Ducks) and Riley Armstrong (did not get him to sign)of my mighty Calgary Flames participated in the 4 on 4 street hockey event. I have met Colby and Sheldon before so I knew who I was looking for in the crowd. I managed to track both guys down and asked Colby first. Colby is a great guy and really down to earth. We spoke for about 5 mins about hockey, the Thrashers organization and he talked about Atlanta as a hockey town. Sheldon was over by a sponsors tent and was really interesting to talk to. I asked similar questions about living in Anaheim vs New Jersey, and he spoke very highly of Anaheim. I got two Ducks pucks signed by Sheldon (1 is up for trade) and a Thrashers puck by Colby. I did not get Riley because I had nothing to get signed and I knew the name but had no idea which guy he was. Oh Well.....Street hockey game pics in my Sports Image Gallery.

This one was from a friend in Chicago, Johngy's Beat. I jumped at the chance to get a puck signed from someone from the Atlanta Flames.

Mike Babcock Stanley Cup Tour
Eddie Shack Maple Leaf Puck
Eddie is a super nice guy. He will offer to show you his 67 Cup ring everytime you meet him. When he signed this he signed both sides for some reason. Well if you know Eddie, you know why. He will chat about hockey for hours, ask him about the Oldtimers; Hull, Howe, Sawchuk. He has stories! Great guy!
Wendel Clark Sport Chek Puck
This is neat story. This is a Wendel Clark signed Sport Chek puck. I was booting around Saskatoon about 15 years ago. The radio mentioned that Wendel Clark was sitting out part of the season due to a contract dispute. It turned out he was in town signing autographs at a local Sport Chek. I was 1 block in away from the Sport Chek, pulled into the store and no one was around. Except Wendel Clark. I chatted with him for a bit, got my puck signed and I left the store.
