Operation Stanley Complete

I went to Terrace today to witness the Hockeyville festivities and it was worth the drive! Hell, I had never seen the Stanley Cup in person before, and I wanted to meet Bryan Trottier, Ken Morrow, Cliff Ronning and Dave Babych (again). Oh yeah, and Fin made an appearance as well. Like I said in the previous post, I was also looking forward to meeting Joe Pelletier from Greatest Hockey Legends. Well Joe saved my butt by saving a spot in the lineup for pics of the Cup and the aforementioned players. It worked out perfectly. I owe him big time. Great guy. Full of hockey wisdom he is.

The legends signed autographs for a long time yet hundreds still missed a chance to meet them.

It was a great day. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

I was joking around with Bryan Trottier, saying "Gee thanks for killing us in 1982, Bryan." Trottier kind of chuckled and said: "It wasn't me...it was Bossy!" Great stuff.

Joe Pelletier has more images and is intensely covering Hockeyville at Greatest Hockey Legends.

Yep that is my hometown of Terrace BC!! You can’t buy tickets to the game (Our arena only holds a couple thousand packed to the brim) you have to win them in draws. 75% of the tickets went to kids. That place will be LOUD tomorrow!!!!

Yeah, a small capacity there. It’s a travesty that so many people can’t go to the game. But I like the notion of giving tickets to the kids.

Yeah, big screen there showing the game. Pretty cool. Sadly, they are showing the Mighty Ducks movie tonight.

Lake Cowichan (small town) by way of Salt Spring (smaller island) and Richmond (small whitey population – hence the tat: hearkening to my heritage or some dang thing).
