Years ago I bought a Mike Peca Leafs Jersey and got a drive like 2 hours away to stand outside in the middle of the winter with a live performance of The Big Comfy Couch.
I got up excited to meet Peca guy wouldn't even look at me. refused to sign my jersey, he did sign a tiny tiny picture of himself and slide it across the table to me. wouldn't even look at me just signing a mountain of pictures and sliding them over to his fans.
I asked "Please Mike can you sign my jersey I came a long way to meet you" again wouldn't even look at me. and the 2 officers on either side of him told me to move along
even worse someone else had a team photo of the 02 Canada Olympic Roster with about 15 signatures on it over the players and Peca refused to sign it.
I still own that jersey today even though it has NEVER seen day light since that moment.
Will never respect Peca again or wear his Jersey. I also refuse to damage it or give away and let a single person even wear that 27. he's a disgrace.
