CCM All-American Prospects Game

While attending the first ever CCM All-American Prospects Game at the First Niagara Center, I had pleanty of autograph opportunities following the game. Hockey Hall of Famer and former Sabre Phil Housley and Miracle on Ice legend and former Sabre Rob McClannahan were coaches for the game. I got 2 cards signed by McClannahan (Silver also says "Gold '80") and 3 cards signed by Housley. Also to sign my game program was Anthony Louis and Frank Vatrano.

 

 
 
 
 
 



Martin Brodeur

This is defiantly my new corner stone to my autograph collection. As I attended the annual Dave And Adam's Card World Black Friday Sale and entered their contest to win some cool prizes. When I received an email mid-December I thought for sure it was just the email giving me my free $10 gift card everyone got just for coming. Instead it was an email telling me I had won probably, if not, the best prize they were giving away. I couldn't believe I actually won the signed Brodeur jersey. I now own a piece of rich memorabilia of the future HHOFer and the goaltender who owns most of the goaltending records, which most appear unbreakable. It is now hanging on my wall in a nice display case away from light where I can see it every time I enter my room. An amazing piece to have in my collection. Brodeur just recently tied another NHL record the other night for most shut outs against a team.
