Calgary Flames Houding Adventure, April 10 2010

So, last week, I went to GM Place before the Flames/Canucks game on April 10, to try to get some autographs. I had brought 2 blank pucks that I had gotten had gotten at Sportschek the day before, for 99 cents each. I also brought an Iginla stick blade. I got there at about 4:30. All of the players were driving in, such as Alex Edler, Christan Ehroff, Roberto Luongo (who ended up waving at us), Jannik Hansen, Kyle Wellwood. None of the Canuck players stopped to sign, which was a little disapointing. Andrew Raycroft came in a taxi (I think), and entered into gate 9. Unfortunatly I missed getting an autograph from him. Evan Oberg (Manitoba Moose call-up player) signed autographs. I would have been next in line to get an autograph, but he decided to leave. The Flames bus still hadn't arrived, and it close to 5:00. All of the Canuck players had already driven in, and I didn't see any point of waiting out there, because I was almost certain that none of the players would sign, since they were all late. The Flames bus finally pulls up next to gate 9. All of the players get off of the bus such as Bouwmeester, Giordano, Bourque, etc. Iginla was the last one to get out. He ended up signing on the opposite side of me, and then started signing on my side. When he got to me, I gave him my silver sharpie and he signed my puck :) The autograph looks really good, and I am happy :D that I ended up going hounding.
