I have never posted on these boards before, but this is a very nice thread.
My best story about meeting famous players was from Sept.2004 at the World Hockey exibition games in Columbus Ohio. My husband, son and I were eating at a resturant close to the arena, after watching the USA team practice. I left my family and went inside to go to the restroom, and sitting in a booth were, Chirs Chelios, Brett Hull, Brian Leetch and Keith Tkachuk. I went back to where I was sitting and told my husband and son. My son insisted that I go ask for a autograph. I really didn't want to because, I was worried that if I asked them and they were jerks, I would never feel the same way about them again, and especially Chelios has been my favorite for years. But I went anyway, and they were all very nice to me and signed my jersey, plus a youth hockey magazine I had with me.
Now I know I sound like a starstruck kid, but actually, I'm a grandmother, and they made my day.
Also I know Brian Smolinski, and Kirk Maltby, they both played on teams with my son and are both very nice guys.
