I am soon going to be in posession of a Roman Turek game used stick!

My best keepsake is not a Flames keepsake though. I have a Henri Richard picture signed by him which is probably my best hockey keepsake. That thing is cool!

you would probably bust a nut if you could get your hands on my sister's game worn Turek Jersey from the jersey off our back night

my best keepsake is my Red Hot VHS tape

actually it would be the "season in reviews of the 86 and 89 seasons"

I've got the Calgary Sun. It's interesting to remember what things cost then.

Currently, my best Flames keepsake is still a work in progress. During the 2004 Cup run when I still had season tickets I collected an official Western Conference Finals puck, all 7 official Stanley Cup Finals pucks, a black Flaming C patch, a Stanley Cup Finals patch and an 8 x 10 glossy of the team celebrating their first round win while going to every single Flames home playoff game. Those were some of the greatest Flames hockey memories of my life. I plan to shadow box all of it together with my mini 2004 Western Conference Championship banner using a blank CCM Flames jersey without a crest as the background fabric. I'll have to get it shadow boxed before the post season starts this year to avoid a backlog of momentos that need framing.

I have a belt buckle from the allstar game. Its got the saddledome in the middle and all the teams logos around the outside.

The Goon · 10-19-2006, 12:35 PM

I have a hideous red/yellow Flames toque that I made my Mom buy me 25 years ago. I still wear it on some cold days.

I have a signed picture of myself, when I was quite a bit younger, my dad, Ralph Klien, Lanny McDonald, and Mike Veronon signed by Lanny and Mike.

My dad used to be pretty high up in Alberta Agrigulture before he got in a very heated argument/almost fisticuffs (my dad's personality doesnt mold well with politics - if he hears BS he will point it out and confront you about it) with the then Alberta Agriculture Minister about a signed deal with Alberta Agriculture/China that got kyboshed the day before my dad was going to fly there to sign it - long story - when people talk about back room BS political deals I know the feeling (or at least have heard of it).

Got a jersey from when I was a kid signed by most of the Flames from 1990. I also have a puck that Joe Nieuwendyk gave me.

Agamemnon · 10-19-2006, 01:49 PM

My Flames mug. I caught my boss trying to use it this morning, I set him straight!

RougeUnderoos · 10-19-2006, 02:13 PM

I once had a coin with Sergei Berezin on it. I found it on a barstool a few hours after the Flames won game 5 over Detroit in 2004 and it became a (fairly) good luck charm. It was pretty special.

socalwingfan · 10-19-2006, 02:17 PM

Sort of Flames related - I have an autographed photo of McCarty pummeling a turtling Claude Lemieux. Brings a smile to my face everyday!

SpitFire40 · 10-19-2006, 02:39 PM

MY jerseys, my Framed ticket stubs of all the wins in 2003-2004 including playoffs.

Tonnelli86 · 10-19-2006, 03:05 PM

I have some pretty neat things from over the years, ticket stubs from the first game in the corral against the Nordiques, stubs from the all-star game in 85? at the Dome, and stubs from all three stanley cups played in the dome. Probbaly my favorite are the red hot series of posters from the Sun in 89' I have every one at home in my closet laminated, also from the next year the Sun had the same poster set unfortunately lasting only 6 games damn Krushelnyski

Welcome Tonnelli86. I have an old red jersey with the Tonnelli name and number.

Tonnelli86 · 10-19-2006, 03:11 PM

Thanks Troutman,

I have been a diehard Flames fan since I can remember, my entire family loves the Flames and hates the Oilers. In my small home town it was one or the other, resulting in some pretty heated disputes between followers of both sides, none of this the Oilers are an Alberta team B.S. so cheer for them! Glad to be a member

This sounded familiar, but to a whole other level than mine:

There are a couple of old threads about this topic so I thought I'd post a quote of the one I think is the best keepsake:

Thankfully I was numb from a large quantity of alcohol, so I didn't really feel anything but the next day I had to head into the Holy Cross to get it stitched up.
