Kerry Fraser, Michel Bergeron and Alain Côté IP

Earlier today, I went to my local Réno-Dépôt store, where there was a reunion of sorts of the 3 main characters involved in a controversial play/call that occurred during a 1987 playoff game between the Québec Nordiques and Montréal Canadiens, in which then NHL referee Kerry Fraser disallowed a good goal scored by the Nordiques' Alain Côté. At the time, the Nordiques were coached by Michel Bergeron. That play has been the subject of several heated discussions between Nordiques and Canadiens fans throughout the years and the Québec fans always made sure to remind Kerry Fraser that they remembered the call he made that night every time he would referee a game in Québec from then on. Anyway, the renovation of a local store was the reason for the promotional stunt which brought Kerry Fraser, Michel Bergeron and Alain Côté together for an autograph signing session. All three were in a good mood and seemed to enjoy themselves! :o) Here's what I got signed:

Alain Côté & Guy Lafleur IP

Earlier today, Alain Côté and Guy Lafleur were signing autographs at a new Best Buy store in Quebec City. I got in line 30 minutes before the scheduled time and there were not many people in line. While waiting in line, the staff even told us we could take all the time we wanted to chat with the guests and take pictures! How often do you hear that at signings?! I got a card signed by Alain Côté, a puck signed by Guy Lafleur and a personalized promotional sheet handed out by each player. Here are scans of everything:

Québec Nordiques Alumni vs. Montreal Canadiens Alumni IP

Today took place the (almost) annual game between the Montreal Canadiens Alumni and the Québec Nordiques Alumni at the Colisée. The game was pretty boring and meaningless, but I managed to get a few autographs afterwards. Most players used their own black Sharpie though... Here’s who I managed to get:

And here’s who I missed: Peter Stastny, Guy Lafleur, Yvon Lambert, Guy Carbonneau, Donald Audette, Steven Finn, Stéphane Richer, André "Moose" Dupont, Richard Sévigny and more...

Québec Nordiques Alumni vs. Montréal Canadiens Alumni IP

Earlier today took place a game between the Québec Nordiques Alumni and the Montréal Canadiens Alumni at the Colisée, in Québec, QC. A friend and I waited for the players to come out after the game to get autographs, but we missed several players who either didn't come out through the usual exit or directly got on their bus, which was parked inside the arena. Still, here are the cards I managed to get autographed:

On the other hand, I missed these guys: Yvan Cournoyer, Vincent Damphousse, Stéphane Richer, Yvon Lambert, Donald Audette, Stéphane Quintal, Steven Finn, André "Moose" Dupont, Richard Sévigny and others... I'm still happy with who I got overall, though! :o)
