Meeting An NHL Player


Recommended Posts

I've met the whole '10/'11 Wild roster as well as the '09/'10 roster... I DJ'd their private party both years. All I'm going to say is... none of them (or their wives/girlfriends) treated me like a "hired hand" but more like a friend they asked to DJ.

Met last year's team before a game against the Minnesota Wild in St. Paul. Great guys to meet! Burrows is a class act. He's the only one that stayed and chatted for a few minutes with us. One of the other fans there dropped Lapierre's iPhone. Bieksa is another great signer/person to take a picture with.

Sedins seemed tough to get both together at the same time but I accomplished that this last time.

Out of the two years I have met the team, Aaron Rome is the only one that never stopped for a picture/autograph.

I've met Greg Hawgood before at an elementary school (while he was a Canuck for a short duration). I'm 100 percent sure that I struck up a conversation with him and got a signature from him as a result. Nice guy.

I've actually at one point had Matt Cooke added on FB (as a result of some strange events).

I shared a flight from Toronto to New York with Evander Kane (he was joining the Jets in NYC after his concussion) in January when I was on my way to see a Leafs @ Islanders game on Long Island. He was pretty cool, got his auto and spoke to him a little in the security line. Didn't ask for a photo or anything (as much as I would have liked too, never going to see any NHL players living in Scotland) 'cause I didn't want to catch too many peoples attention I guess.

Would love to meet Ovechkin and Sundin some day. James Reimer I think would be a guy who would be the easiest to talk too, seems like a really down to earth guy.
