Hey everyone, been a long time since posting a thread on here. I heard that Jeremy had sold the site (thanks for all the incredible years!). New site looks great, and I’m happy I can upload photos right from my phone!

Anyways, back in late October things took a dive for my family, my 2 year old was diagnosed with a large tumour and called high risk neuroblastoma cancer. He is doing well so far, large reduction in the tumour, 5 rounds of chemo, and surgery later, still 2 more rounds of chemo and radiation, and multiple other things. Nothing can hold this kid down, his favourite thing keeping him going is anything hockey. Watching hockey, playing hockey, hockey cards, pucks, mini figures, jerseys, anything.

Back in November, a great member here (Bigbaracuda) and he made some fantastic cards for Mavrik really early on, and they were just amazing. 2 of which were given to his favourite player (Riley Heidt) which he loved, and Heidt signed 2 of them for him as well! Everyone has been fantastic thus far, with some amazing memories from when we were able to get back to see the PG cougars play. Mavrik even ended up with 2 signed game used Heidt sticks! One given to him by the administration, and one from the captain himself!

So thanks a ton to Glenn for everything. I’ve got a collection of cards going for Mavrik for a PC, of Riley Heidt, and Mavrik Bourque (same first name spelling). The wantlist is pretty small for Heidt,

23-24 CHL
323 Riley Heidt (base gold, exclusive/100

23-24 CHL SPGU
Base /27, base patch /49,
Stardom awaits
patch /49, auto patch /5, black 1/1

For Mavrik Bourque it’s a lot easier as I’m just looking for anything. Preferably trading at this point, and will hopefully post a full collection soon.

Great what Riley Heidt is doing to keep your son's spirits up. (y) I find that the hockey players are such great people!

My son went through brain cancer at age 13, so I know the pain and anguish associated with having a child suffer from cancer. Connor is 22 now and just finished his now yearly MRIs this week...he's ALL CLEAR. He is now 8 years cancer free. ❤️

Wishing you all the best. Prayers for your son. 🙏🙏🙏

Man that is incredible news. I’m so happy to hear Connor is All Clear. I watched Connor’s story for a while from you, and that is pure joy. Thanks a ton Curt.
 
All the best to Mavrik in his battle. And I love Heidt as a prospect, own him in a few of my keeper leagues and hope his career can progress to give Mavrik someone to root for. Sounds like he's been a class act with your son.
 
Wishing you and your family all the best! Nice to hear that the Prince George players are so supportive. Looking forward to seeing that Heidt collection grow through the years with your son!
