Hey everyone, a couple weeks back I was notified by Upper Deck that I had been selected as their Ultimate NHL Fan. My prize was a day at the NHLPA Rookie Showcase in Toronto. It turned out to be the greatest day of my life... so far. I was greeted at the door with a bunch of Upper Deck swag including a backpack filled with UD goodies and a helmet signed by all the players at last year's Rookie Showcase among other things.
I also picked up my Taylor Hall Signed Mini Stick that I won at the Bash from CnC:
I also had the opportunity to get many pictures with the players:
John Moore and Greg Nemisz
Simon Despres and Runblad
No introduction needed
Same for this guy...
...and this guy
Me with the big three
Having a nice chat with the Nuge
And Landy, another great guy
And why not. Jonathan Huberdeau
Me with Adam Henrique, he was a really nice guy
Me and Rynnas, this guy is huge
I also got to participate in some of the Upper Deck Skits. Here are some shots from those:
Me and Geoff calling Jake Allen names
Me asking Ryan Ellis to sign a photo
The photo:
We also showed Carl Klinberg his RC that we pulled earlier in the day:
Apparently Tim Erixon has a pretty hard slapshot:
A couple of nice souvenirs:
Their dressing rooms:
Pictures from their Blue and White game:
Other pictures from throughout the day:
Thank you very much Upper Deck for putting on this great day, it was the experience of a lifetime! But wait, there's more! They also gave me a box of 11/12 Victory which yielded:
