I've met a ton of hockey players when I used to work at the dome. But the one that still puts a smile to my face is when I actually served Craig Conroy Vanilla Ice cream when I started working at Flames Central about 3-4 years ago. The Flames would always come to FC after every home game during the first year we were opened, but I believe they stopped hanging out there nowadays.
He came in all alone after the Flames game one night and ordered ice cream as we were about to close up. I was a little bit annoyed because I got my ass handed to me on station that night and didn't want to deal with another order and thought who the **** would come in 5 minutes before the place closed and order just desserts.
Anyways, after he finished his ice cream, he came down and thanked me personally. He's such an awesome guy to be around. I am glad he's still with the Flames.
