My first NHL players were Harold Snepsts, Richard Brodeur, Darcy Rota and Doug Halward... Canucks used to have their training camp in Duncan and I went to it... never did get Snepsts auto and Brodeur didn't talk to anyone... but did get Rota & Halward... pretty sweet for a 10 year old kid! 
Two winters ago, the old timers came through Duncan and the event was VERY poorly advertised... so there was like 100 people there. Afterwards there was an event at a local pub with about 20 people there... I got to sit at the table with Bryan Trottier!! Was pretty sweet hearing of some of his stories from a Hall of Famer!
