Meeting Jhonas Enroth!

[creasecollector]

What a great experience Aaron, glad everything worked out so that this becomes part of your life memories! Did Jhonas have much knowledge about hockey card collecting?

We didn’t talk about collecting per-say, but a little bit about his cards and he has seen my collection before and thinks it’s very cool.

Way to go, Aaron! What a cool experience for you I bet! :thumbsup:

i honestly think there can be no better experience in the hobby than what you had with Jhonas. To meet your favorite athlete and actually hang out with one another and receive each other well is great.

Thank you!

Not that this needs any sort comparison, but this experience did remind me of a baseball card collector (Tanner) who met his PC player - Jose Cansenco.

I just re-read this story again today after a few years and it was a great read. Always nice when you have a positive experience with an athlete.

If anyone wants to read about it, here's his awesome recap:

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

I will be discussing this whole experience on Episode 52 of the podcast which should be released shortly.

Great to read what your Sweden trip turned out to Aaron! I guess that exceeded all your expectations. Really cool to have that connection to your PC player.

Come back to Sweden soon. Next time you can hopefully catch a game and see him live. He doesn't get any younger
