I go to quite a few Belleville Senators games when the Rocket are in town, so I have seen Kelly in person, but it is always as he is heading to the bench to start the period. He was a gritty player throughout his career and he has been with the Rocket for 3 seasons now as an assistant coach. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjehFtY2DULpVuTuYTTsncOk2wJgJfPx09Z5QN-pZRUXkHKSTBA25NEmobHrQxAnC8GND8eDmJas_UhF2tD6xhzhKh8-T5g43GbSK9hBICNjib8O33-TkD2EMHKmsz0tzzQJrTB06azov_7vjqWbOrkbNyuwOgMN25zhI3DJ8WLjqxuF0VC9Gz6yxkZcOBR/s1920/buchberger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjehFtY2DULpVuTuYTTsncOk2wJgJfPx09Z5QN-pZRUXkHKSTBA25NEmobHrQxAnC8GND8eDmJas_UhF2tD6xhzhKh8-T5g43GbSK9hBICNjib8O33-TkD2EMHKmsz0tzzQJrTB06azov_7vjqWbOrkbNyuwOgMN25zhI3DJ8WLjqxuF0VC9Gz6yxkZcOBR/s320/buchberger.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span><p></p>herringtondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10724117633334527146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884339447096501853.post-7194194961970795332023-11-21T12:02:00.000-08:002023-11-21T12:02:13.067-08:00Montreal Canadiens Alumni game in person<p> We had the Montreal Canadiens alumni tour come through Napanee, on Sunday. They played a friendly charity game against some local penitentiary guards. These games are always a treat and the players are all super friendly with the fans. I wasn't able to get autographs from all of the players, but I did add a few that I did not previously have, so that is a huge plus.</p><p>Oleg Petrov was a rookie with the Habs back in the 1992-93 season. He played 9 regular season games with 3 points and only playing 1 playoff game. That was also the year they won the cup. He went back and forth for a few season between Fredericton (AHL) and the Habs, before signing to play in Switzerland for 3 seasons. He pretty much lit that league on fire and came back over for 3 more with the Habs and finished his NHL days with the Nashville Predators. He saw that I had extra cards and offered to sign them all.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXePvRdZR4k6-Z-Ulw5jirdAKqLoDkRhKle2aT3m5QW4dDjBmBIB50TiN7X6wAPgoNpeEK80IPNZAWjrJYD80VKI0BFGkQhJn_lsWIbz1tLOPOvEerx8iDcOfQ3kJOhFoSLO1-Ecv4C0NQavfW_6L9Yv1fycwvah_ZkmZuw3Hz9YLWaZIXsEP6POdK9FcH/s4032/petrovcards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXePvRdZR4k6-Z-Ulw5jirdAKqLoDkRhKle2aT3m5QW4dDjBmBIB50TiN7X6wAPgoNpeEK80IPNZAWjrJYD80VKI0BFGkQhJn_lsWIbz1tLOPOvEerx8iDcOfQ3kJOhFoSLO1-Ecv4C0NQavfW_6L9Yv1fycwvah_ZkmZuw3Hz9YLWaZIXsEP6POdK9FcH/s320/petrovcards.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Stephane Richer scored 51 goals for the Habs in the 89-90 season and he played over 1000 games in the NHL.

Although he is now 66 years old, he absolutely amazes me how he is able to make some incredible saves on guys less than half his age. My knees are shot from playing rec goalie for like 20 years. Anyways, I have always missed getting his autograph at these events for whatever reason.

I have loved this set from the moment it came out. The base cards are all white and mostly cardboard stock with some glossy layover, so they show an autograph amazingly. I am now up to 69 of the 89 card set signed. There are a bunch that were deceased prior to the set release, so those are not possible. There are others that have since deceased, so that is going to be a challenge for me to complete. I am going to keep working on it anyways and see if I can do it. I may fill in the set with some of the certified autographs that were also in this set.</p><p>I did not get a Mike Bossy one prior to his death. His daughter had a bunch of his stuff autographed for sale for their charity. We got talking to her for a few minutes and she said when he took ill, they brought up all of his extra stuff from their basement and had him sign it all. She said he really enjoyed doing that at the time. So, I had to purchase this as soon as I saw it.

I am super pumped to add this to my collection!</p><p>Here is the puck.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR8lnAGlwIP46lb1fGrSuNaE8TmH5JjT3LaGMdJ7m-fpmaL128nwUG7IgdntyKmjtFK4ZTDT7q-S83V9n-_RhfonYUIwDKBbLQ7u1iP1y9iYz-FyuSAZvS-7NHPwzfOgoeundzIA2HV6ycJZVHGfpZNk1TH_wwhZhwfsuZITzi0WYMOamcQ1SARqDHD03_/s1920/Vincent%20Damphousse%20puck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR8lnAGlwIP46lb1fGrSuNaE8TmH5JjT3LaGMdJ7m-fpmaL128nwUG7IgdntyKmjtFK4ZTDT7q-S83V9n-_RhfonYUIwDKBbLQ7u1iP1y9iYz-FyuSAZvS-7NHPwzfOgoeundzIA2HV6ycJZVHGfpZNk1TH_wwhZhwfsuZITzi0WYMOamcQ1SARqDHD03_/s320/Vincent%20Damphousse%20puck.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Here is Vincent Damphousse and myself.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1CXoHvHayezundVFgqfBhOOzfJJ_jdIVnykgIg-SLLmpJPpoKf8T6prWD6EESYehfFu36gknlw_aOJV7hT3UPRXj4Wol_Rvj9iS34VzNCABkKL_6HgLShRgiyXPwIa9CeD-GACOsqdNU2-26AzSjBI3-T_SYQL1EQIraitbehyjJ3UjfPv2bWAi6OwNa/s1920/damphousse%20with%20me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1CXoHvHayezundVFgqfBhOOzfJJ_jdIVnykgIg-SLLmpJPpoKf8T6prWD6EESYehfFu36gknlw_aOJV7hT3UPRXj4Wol_Rvj9iS34VzNCABkKL_6HgLShRgiyXPwIa9CeD-GACOsqdNU2-26AzSjBI3-T_SYQL1EQIraitbehyjJ3UjfPv2bWAi6OwNa/s320/damphousse%20with%20me.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>herringtondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10724117633334527146noreply@blogger.com06900 Airport Rd, Mississauga, ON L4V 1E8, Canada43.703106200000008 -79.636637715.392872363821162 -114.7928877 72.013340036178846 -44.480387699999994tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884339447096501853.post-65400377109220376372023-05-19T08:47:00.005-07:002023-06-26T08:31:50.601-07:00Sportcard Expo<p> I attended the Spring Sportscard and Memorabilia Expo a few weeks ago. Montreal Canadiens' rookie sensation, Arber Xhekaj was doing a signing at the show, so I absolutely had to do this! He is from the Hamilton area and if you aren't aware of his story and journey to becoming an NHL player, it is quite amazing. He is my new favourite player with the Habs for sure! He was super friendly with the fans and seemed to enjoy the interactions. I got him to sign an 8x10 photo which is already up on my wall.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj9EjtnunmllQ7N0fByxBugYhSOe5TJABj8G9DAWHf0z82TWtDTnR5InYi0TK_l-6ABsYrNPr82fCWwVIU7PHkeL827Tu0ERDZ6j-4f59tSisdWVmiQ_FffwxjDzM0EXjK4LDYGd2h1BQuiciFENRXUULflttqAihkoW_8DSNTuCde0WroJli8D55Oeg/s4032/xhekajphoto.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj9EjtnunmllQ7N0fByxBugYhSOe5TJABj8G9DAWHf0z82TWtDTnR5InYi0TK_l-6ABsYrNPr82fCWwVIU7PHkeL827Tu0ERDZ6j-4f59tSisdWVmiQ_FffwxjDzM0EXjK4LDYGd2h1BQuiciFENRXUULflttqAihkoW_8DSNTuCde0WroJli8D55Oeg/s320/xhekajphoto.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7mxz7F06mWD8DIkv-ummVCUHrdjEgeFs3wyuRkTRH9A-KEpzb0eCGQ7oQungjD4fYmJ6qCGTTv6HKwTvUkS2Xs9_UXeulZsgZdl3iSuXzkTfOfpnM65g0rvdJUURp1kb-hgNBw5MTj856EGG40-wlTpLFpyN77l-N9Lh8OF5Deaumn-1_7_WcpCm4Q/s4032/xhekajauto.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7mxz7F06mWD8DIkv-ummVCUHrdjEgeFs3wyuRkTRH9A-KEpzb0eCGQ7oQungjD4fYmJ6qCGTTv6HKwTvUkS2Xs9_UXeulZsgZdl3iSuXzkTfOfpnM65g0rvdJUURp1kb-hgNBw5MTj856EGG40-wlTpLFpyN77l-N9Lh8OF5Deaumn-1_7_WcpCm4Q/s320/xhekajauto.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>herringtondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10724117633334527146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884339447096501853.post-28511270672816316182023-02-23T08:27:00.001-08:002023-02-23T08:27:01.783-08:00Long Time Gone<p> Its been over 5 years since I updated this blog. I am going to be starting this back up and running, so I hope to be updating more regular in the near future. In the meantime, I would love to add more links of other people collecting autographs to share around.

I took my daughter with me. We went down after the game to get some autographs. Most of the players were very good with the kids and parents. Patrice Brisebois came out and signed and took pictures for everyone that was there. He was very personable. Jocelyn Lemieux had some fun taking selfies with some of the kids. <br />
John Scott was an absolute gem though. He signed for us, but saw that my daughter was wearing her hockey team's warmup jacket. He asked about the logo and then was asking about her season and how things are going. He spent a good 10-15 minutes just talking hockey with us. I was super impressed.<br />
Here is our haul.<br />
Patrice Brisebois signed puck and cards.<br />

The Flames intercepted all mail to Dion, Iginla and Kipper back then so all I got back was a team issued card signed. I have met him a couple of times and he has always signed for everyone. He is currently with the Ottawa Senators, but I think he may not be for long, as they were not happy when he didn't waive his no movement clause to be exposed in the expansion draft.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">So this one took a while. Michael is now with the Calgary Flames, and just finished the playoffs after getting ousted in the 1st round. He has been a consistent scorer over his career so far at around 1 point every 2 games. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">21 days for Brendan Gallagher is insane fast! He has had a rough time setting up in his office. 2 times in the last 2 seasons, he has broken a hand from a howitzer from the point. He keeps going back there though! The Habs need him to be good and healthy if they are going to make a run in the playoffs.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Ryan Miller was very good on a very terrible Canucks team this year. He had a .916 save percentage while facing among the highest shot per game totals in the league. He has never really had a great defence palying in front of him, so it would be cool to see how well he would play on a stronger team.</span><br />

He even brought his own 2x4s!!! He was one of my favourites when I was a kid growing up watching wrestling. He was SUPER nice and very talkative with everyone. He signed a huge signature on the 2x4 and then posed for a picture with me. This guys hands are enormous! This is my first WWE autograph.<br />

These guys had to travel up there right after their afternoon game against the Red Sox, which they lost. Ryan Goins, Chris Colabello and Roberto Osuna were the other ones. I like those guys and all, but Pillar is the MAN! I had to get his autograph. The lineup was insane, but it was worth it in the end.<br />

Jesse Barfield was doing a signing in support of the Fergie Jenkins foundation. I got an 8x10 from him. My buddy took his wife's jersey to get signed and was in line before me. Jesse was so cool. Chatting with everyone. Once he heard that it was my buddy's wife's jersey and that she was home with 3 kids, he added a huge inscription to go with his signature. I was really impressed with how he interacted with the fans. Here is the 8x10 I got.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Jiri was traded from Calgary to Florida in the time after I sent this and when he mailed it back to me. He has 5 points in 9 games so far with the Panthers. He went from a team with no chance at the playoffs, to now being on a team with a good shot to make a run.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">I was very surprised to get this one back so fast. The Oilers' players usually send stuff out after the season is over. Nail just come off of an injury, so maybe he used that time to answer mail. His best bet is to probably get out of Edmonton. That place seems to be where good young players go to die. He was exciting to watch in Jr. with the Sting, so hopefully he can find that again with another club in the NHL.</span><br />

He has had some decent numbers in the AHL and probably deserves an NHL spot. He had 25 points in 33 games with the Marlies before the Leafs traded him to the Chicago Blackhawks. He hasn't played for their farm team yet, but probably will soon. You may see him back in the NHL soon too.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">I have been a big fan of McCarron since he was drafted by the Habs, and chose to go to the OHL to gain experience and further develop his skills. He started with London and played there for 1 full season and then was traded to the Oshawa Generals in the middle of last season, which is where he helped them win the Memorial Cup. He is a big power forward who can score, which is what the Habs need right now. He has 24 points in 28 games in the AHL this year so far. He got this card back to me in 15 days, and in the middle of all of that, he was called up by the Canadiens, for 2 games! They sent him back down already, but I have to think he won't be down there for long.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Radim Vrbata has been a great addition to the Canucks. He had 31 goals and 63 points last season, playing with the Sedins. He has bounced around a bit during his career, so maybe he will stick around in Vancouver for a while.</span></span><br />

This summer, presented a huge opportunity for her right in our home town. Fine Line Conditioning, is a hockey training company based out of Kingston, Ontario. They ran a camp in Napanee, that was for female goalies only. It was instructed by Kory Cooper(who is now a goalie consultant for the Ottawa Senators) and Genevieve Lacasse, who is the current goalie for the women's team Canada, and the Boston Blades. She is an Olympic gold medal winning goalie, and you couldn't ask for a better role model for young female goalies. At the end of the week, she signed autographs and posed with the kids with her gold medal. I even tweeted out to her after my daughter won her first tournament. I thanked her for the work she did with her in the summer. She tweeted us back, congratulating my daughter. <br />
Here are the cards she signed for us.<br />
