I got Reggie Lemelin’s autograph at my first NHL game. Dad took me down to the bench during warm up. I had made a Go Flames Go sign, so my dad handed it to one of the Flames’ equipment guys. Within minutes they handed it back with Reggie’s signature. Hard to believe any player, let alone a starting goaltender, would do that pre-game nowadays.
The Flames beat the Whalers that evening by a score of 4-1.
