Mario Lemieux. Like others have mentioned, I was also at his final game in Calgary in 2001. I was young, and very poor, but I knew this was likely my only chance to see him play, so a friend and I went down and spent $65 total for two tickets in the back of the second level. Back then that was my food budget for the month, so it was a major sacrifice, but I'm so glad I made it. The guy was clearly at the end of his career but he was in a different class to the rest of the players.
