| Well this was a first for me, my first hounding experience without Darren and plus I was at the practice instead of the game, It was my birthday so my mom let me stay home from school so I decided to check out the practice as I would be going to the game later on, anyway… I was waiting in the lobby as usual after the practice, getting ready (note: I only had items for 3 of the players plus a Print Out since the Flames come a few more times throughout the season), when a group of 4 guys came out, I wasn’t sure who any of the guys were so I was going to get them to sign my print out but 3 of the guys practically ran right past me but one player stopped, I asked him to sign the print out but he went for the cards instead, it was Robert Dome! so by luck I got him to sign 2 cards for me. Players started coming out in groups of two’s one after the other so I got Jan Vodrazka, Mike Martin, Ryan Shmyr, Jason Morgan, Jayme Filipowicz, Ian Manzano, Brent Kelly, Tim Branham, Levente Szuper, and what looks to be either Darcy Verot, or Rick Mrozik (top left corner) all to sign my print out. I was about to give up for the morning but then Saprykin came out on his own and I got him to sign my 4 cards, that motivated me to stay for another little while to see if Dupont would come out and after a few minutes he did, I got him to sign my 1 card and wished him luck for tonight’s game and that was that… I got all of the items that I had signed so it was an overall good outing! |
