I met my Hero today - pic included!!!

I went to see a Finnish 2nd league game K-Vantaa vs. KalPa Kuopio today. My team KalPa won the game 2-1! After the game I was lucky to catch my favorite, Sami Kapanen (1+1 in the game). I think it tells something about his character that he was barely able to walk. He hurt his knee before Christmas and played his second game today after the injury. I was hoping to meet Kimmo Timonen as well but he hurt his ankle in his first game for KalPa and stayed home in Kuopio.

Sweet pic. Congrats on an awesome experience! Get anything signed from him?

Actually not. I thought of it but didn't have anything nice to sign on. I will get Sami's new KalPa jersey and a friend from Kuopio who writes game recaps for KalPa's website promised to get his signature on that.

Always awesome to meet your heroes and to enjoy the experience. Imagine if your hero played in the NBA!!
