Weekend Hounding
On Friday, I did the Drummondville Voltiguers before the game. They came all at once and missed a bunch of players, including Joe Veleno who was the one I wanted. I got Steve Begin, who signed all three cards I had. He was a signing machine when I used to go to Montreal to hound the Habs and various visiting teams.
Speaking of which, the Habs were in town and I had the rare opportunity to hound an NHL team in Ottawa. I went in the morning to see if they were practicing, but it turned out they weren't. I got Nikita Scherbak and Noah Juulsen, so it wasn't a wasted trip. I went back later and got most of the big guys. A bunch of female Habs fans showed up, so I did better than I thought I would. More to add to the collection.

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
I took the summer off because I plan on going back to school for accounting in January, not to mention trying to find a job. I wasn't really doing any hounding or ttm requests (got 3 successes during the entire time). Anyways, got to hang out with Beth the last little while, so here are the details.
October 10th Moncton @ Gatineau
Got to meet original Sen Darren Rumble, who is the coach of the team. He signed my cards that I had and we spoke about the expansion years and the current shit show.

October 10th Kingston @ Ottawa
We went to the hotel and waited for the players and coaches to come out. Michael DiPietro was pretty chatty and signed everything we had. After the players signed, we went over and got Trevor Letowski, who seemed to be in a good mood and asked if I had anything for Mike Weber, who was an assistant coach. I didn't have anything since I didn't realize he was a coach.

October 10th & 11th LA @ Ottawa
Went to get the Kings later after we got Kingston. It turned out that they were having a team dinner, which was both a good and bad thing. I didn't have to stay out in the cold all night (didn't bring a jacket) but most came out all at once. Missed a bunch of players when Dion Phaneuf was trying to find a spot to sign on my photo. Got about 4 players total.
I went back the next morning (it was an afternoon game) to try and get the rest of the players. The only guys I missed were the players I got from the night before, Michael Amadio, Paul Ladue, Dave Lowry, and Tanner Pearson. One of the Kings executives seemed to have an issue with people getting autographs (there were four of us, and only 2 of us getting signatures). Security tried to get us to move but Steve kindly reminded him that it was a public sidewalk. Security didn't really care, or try to stop us since there were only 4 of us and we weren't causing trouble or rushing the players.

October 12th Women's Hockey and the AHL
Beth and I went to Place Bell in Laval to scout the arena to see where the players enter and exit. Did well with the women and Binghamton. The Laval Rocket were a bust because we didn't know where they entered and didn't figure it out until after. We got some of the Montreal players in the garage. Then we went to the bus for the Calgary players. They pretty much ran off off the bus (they might have been late since the start time was moved a half hour earlier). Then we went to the Binghamton bus to get the Devils' players. Then we tried to scout the parking lot to see where the Laval players parked, but no luck. We killed some time by having supper and came back and went in the building and found where the players came out (which would've been handy when we were looking for the Laval players). So we stayed waaaaaaaaay later than we planned. We got the rest of the women's players there. Someone from the Montreal team tried to get Genevieve Lacasse to hurry up and go, but she was like, "It's good, we're friends" referring to Beth.
