I went up to them and asked if Conroy would be down soon. He turned to us and asked us if we wanted to go up and meet him! So we went up there and got to talk with him for about 20 minutes! It was really cool, I was talking to him about his new role in Abby this year, last years trades, 2004 cup run, Kipper retiring(he mentioned that he's retiring for sure, but he's mad he hasn't told them officially yet haha,) and hockey in general. Really genuine guy, it was awesome how long he actually chatted for. He signed a puck for me as well! Now back home to Calgary!

i'm surprised it was ONLY 20 minutes - conny LOVES to talk... and really loves to talk to fans. i first met him at the previous young stars tourney. it was myself and another guy and we saw conny & lowry walking to the soec so went went to say hi. my buddy called some other friends that were on their way (they were just outside of penticton). they said, 'stall him!!!'. i think all we said was, "hey conny, how's it going?" well, lowry had given up waiting for conny and our other friends arrived with lots of time to spare to meet & chat with him too.
he's such a nice and personable guy... and soooo easy to talk to. the flames are lucky to have a guy like him in the organization
