Comments about the video:
The guys on the left are parents from Aeneas’ son’s hockey team.
That table is full of food, the far side had many meat platters.
As you can see Puppet guy was enjoying it.
Aeneas likes to heckle.
CB was nearly at a loss for words...and I think the onions sitting nearby got to him
Seriously it was a fun night, happy to be part of it.
CB will be easy to spot at the game today with his jersey. We are in 110 row 8, and will try and be by the damn truck in the concourse between periods. Come say hi.
Can't wait to finally meet Petr today! Thanks to iggy-oi for the tix, I'll be sure to stop by at some point.
You’re welcome!
I meant to post this last night but there where other CPers who are also looking for tickets so if anyone else is considering donating their tickets there’s definitely demand. I was glad to see Caged Great start the ticket give away thread, so nice to see everyone pulling together to make this a great event.

Thanks buddy.
Hybink calgaryboy genuinely touched by kindness of CP.
Cannot focus. Maui maybe drank too much,.
Time fur schaffen.
This really needs to printed on a t-shirt or some sort of commemorative plaque. Sounds like it was quite the party.

If your goal with those videos was to make a man that resembles Ron Swanson cry...well mission accomplished.
Wish I could have been there. I'll take comfort in the fact that my contributions went to such good people in a worthwhile event. Give Petr my best, along with everyone else who made these events happen!
If there is ever an opportunity in the future where I can be as gracious a host as Troy was to Petr, don't hesitate to ask. Visiting Florida for Calgarians might be nearly as long a trip as it is for Petr to fly from Czechia, so I would want to make sure anybody who came was taken care of.

Next time we have to get bc_chris to make hats that say:
"I came to Calgary and all I got was some bratwurst and this amazing hat!"
Speaking of which...I apologize but we should extend a shout out to our awesome Kelowna-courier who delivered all of Chris' stuff. I (regrettably) forget his name, but thanks man! For all your driving and getting the stuff to the party!

I'm so glad this all turned out so amazing. Wells me right up and makes me so glad I was even the tiniest part of what it took to see this happen (and it was tiny, hahaha). Would have loved to have attended anything/something, but apparently the doctors like you to be able to actually breathe before they let you leave the damn hospital. What a lovely bunch of guys you all are, and I love all the gear CB has to take home with him, for his entire family. So generous, guys. I'm always impressed by y'all. Well done. Well done.

If someone had some time during the workday to do some activities with CB I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Wednesday would be a really good day as there is no practice and he's free all day.
Monday - 11am practice
Tuesday - 10:30 game day skate - trip to High River - Greasers game
Wednesday - no practice - Petr is accepting bookings now!
Thursday - 11am practice, interview with player(s) post-practice - afternoon free
Friday - 10:30 game day skate - afternoon free - Sharks game
Saturday - Happy St. Patricks day
Sunday - Craft event
Quick notes on practice today:
- It was a short official practice
- Gully was not in a good mood. Lots of F bombs
- Jermaine Franklin was recording in case there was another stick incident (nope)
- Versteeg looks ready
- No Chuckie, also maintenance day for Mony
