Icon48 VIP Experience at 2017 NHL Awards & Vegas Expansion Draft

I was in Vegas for NHL Awards and Expansion Draft. I won an auction and got to “Be the ultimate VIP at the 2017 NHL Awards”. It was an incredible hockey experience.

Here's some pics and vids from the trip:

Backstage Tour of T-Mobile Arena and attended Media Conference



Met Gio and Johnny.


Met injured Karlsson


E5: Flames are on the verge of acquiring Erik Karlsson

Attended the NHL & Adidas Jersey Unveil Party



Side by side comparison of the Flames new Adidas and old Reebok jersey




Got to walk the down the Red (Magenta) Carpet with the players




Hanging out with the Stanley Cup and legends/players












I posted a lot more pics and vids on my blog: http://www.raytravelsfree.com/vip-ex...f-spg-moments/

Full credit for peeing on an Oilers jersey and brokering the trade between Calgary and Ottawa for Karlsson but why oh why couldnt you have kidnapped McDavid and dropped him off in the Wilds of Burma?

I like how Burns appears to be happier to be in the photo than you do.

I fully expect to see Gio take over the staring role in John Wick 4.

No, they only had 1 jersey available for each team on display for people to try on. Adidas did give out awesome free swag bags (backpack, 3 shirts, and a ball-cap)

There's very minor changes on the jerseys. I suggest getting a Reebok jersey at FanAttic since they're on sale for 50% off.

It's my first NHL Awards and the third SPG Moment's auction that I've won.

I've also attended the 2017 NHL All-Star Game in LA and 2016 NHL All-Star Game in Nashville.

In the pic with Johnny he looks like he has filled out a bit this off season. Maybe we will see a tougher Johnny along the walls this year!
