In terms of NHL players, I've met Monahan, Max Reinhart, Backlund, Eberle, The All-Star (Heatley), Iginla, Commodore, Kobasew, and the entire 2013 Coyotes team. Got to go into their dressing room which was pretty cool.
Played hockey with Morgan Klimchuk and against Hunter Shinkaruk and Matt Dumba... In peewee... They kept getting better from there, I didn't!
Went to high school with Brayden Point (Tampa Bay Lightning prospect).
Got drunk with Tyler Wotherspoon at Cowboys a few years back.
Outside of hockey I've met a few musicians. Went to a Dropkick Murphys show a while back and they bring fans on stage. Got to sing a cover of "Taking Care of Business" with Al Barr (their vocalist). The names probably don't ring a bell but you might recognize their bands, others I've met include Ken Casey (Dropkick Murphys), Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem), Brendan Kelly (The Lawrence Arms), Chain Reaction (The rapper who used to always sell his CD outside the Saddledome), Dean Murdoch (FUBAR movies). Shook hands with Carly Rae-Jepsen (sings Call Me Maybe) but didn't really know who she was at the time.
Saw Ken Jennings (Jeopardy dude), Zac Effron, and some actress from CSI who's name escapes me at Disneyland.
