I was visiting my grandparents in Kamsack, Saskatchewan (it must have been 2000 or 2001) and Theoren Fleury was supposed to be participating in a charity golf tournament (he's from nearby Russell, MB). He was playing for the Rangers at the time.

My Grandpa took me to Yorkton (about an hour away) that morning and I bought a Rangers jersey with some money I had saved up. Put my Flames jersey on, and headed to the golf course with both jerseys in hand to tell him we miss him in Calgary and ask for a couple autographs.

Fleury never showed up, I never got the autograph, and I gave the Rangers jersey away to my cousin. If I ever have the opportunity to meet the guy, I'll tell him that he crushed my dreams as a 13-year old kid.
