Bob probert- was a disturbed individual when I met him. I'll leave it at that.

Kassian- so nice. Wish him the best.

Matt Martin- too cocky for my liking

Taylor hall- such a child. Don't think he'll ever grow out of it.

Ryan Ellis- was a nice kid. Met him when he was in high school.

Joel quenville- b lined it toward me after hearing I went to his highschool lol.

Rode a plane with the entire Winnipeg Jets in 1990. Got Dale Hawerchuk's autograph. Worked with a guy that played for the Penguins with Mario in prime and Scotty coaching. Can't remember his name now lol

They should have hired you as the Winnipeg Jets head coach!

Met Jim Hughson and Jack McIlhargey at the bar of the St. Paul Hotel during a tourism promotional trip. As I recall Jim was sipping on good brandy and smoking a cigar. This was some years ago when Jim and Jack were connected to the Canucks.

I met kirk McLean and Geoff Courtnal at the airport once. They had there hood up on Courtnal red beamer. They were poking around with a large screw driver when I walked up and asked what the problem was. Courtnal said his battery was dead. I said and your trying to jump start it with a screw driver?

They looked at each other and laughed. I gave them a jump start and they were on there way.

About two weeks later I was at a set of lights out by queensborough and Courtnal was behind me. He went on to the shoulder and went around me turned right and did an illegal u turn and turned right again to beat the red light. Guy was in some kind of a hurry.

That was some ugly car he had.

Also, never really met him but walked in on a photo shoot with a photographer and Jerome Iginla by accident.

I was doing a renovation at the saddledome on one of the luxury suites. I have a habit of walking around when I talk on my phone. I walked through these double doors and was standing there talking I looked up and saw Iginla just glaring at me. He wasn't to pleased. I apologized and turned around and walked out.

I doubt he was mad, Iginla is the coolest guy you could ever meet.

Ive met him 5 or 6 times and every time he is awesome.
