Charity golf tournament in Kamsack, Saskatchewan at Riverside golf course and Theo Fleury was on the bill. I must have been 12 or 13 (summer of 98 or 99). I begged my parents to drive me out and drop me off at my Grandparents' place and then convinced my Grandpa to take me to the course. Wore my black horsehead Flames jersey with Fleury / 14 on the back and waited around all day to meet him and ask for an autograph. He never showed up.

Jarome Iginla - seated at the same table as him at Japanese Village one time. He was very nice and chatted with my family. Also ran into him at Predator Ridge in the Okanagan as he was finishing a round of golf and I was about to start one.

Jarome Iginla's dad - sat next to him at a Flames/Oilers game at Rexall, lovely guy. Has a lot of fun at games. Very gregarious.

Andrei Zyuzin - used to rent movies from the Westhills Blockbuster all the time. Nice enough guy, pretty quiet. Was surprised I recognized him.

Another related Westhills Blockbuster story, not the Flames but another local sport, I used to work there with Matt Dunigan's kid in like 2006-2007. Guy was a hoot to work with and loved to gamble. Absolute beauty of a dude.

Met countless alumni and they're all awesome. Peplinski, Lanny, Rhett, all nice dudes that have taken time to have conversations with us.

Through golf have met Curtis Glencross and Jordan Eberle. Good humans. Grew up in Airdrie and Zach Boychuk was a couple years younger than me, so I've run into him a few times. Didn't think he'd remember me but I ran into him in like 2015 at the golf course and he came over and said hi.

Was at Aussie Rules one night and some of the Flames were there. Stajan had a few I guess and Gio was physically helping him get out of the place. He stumbled and knocked over my girlfriend / now wife and a bunch of other people and Gio apologized on his behalf. Ended up in the restroom next to Gio a few minutes later and he apologized again and asked if he could buy my party a drink.
