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:

Pro-Am Simon Gagné IP


Today took place the 2nd annual Pro-Am Simon Gagné, which is a hockey game/event organized by Simon Gagné between pros and amateurs for charity. Before the game, there was a tailgate party outside the arena where the pros taking part in the game sat at tables for an autograph session. Knowing in advance who was supposed to be there, I brought cards along and got all these signed:













Unfortunately, some of the players who were supposed to be there didn't show up (Claude Giroux, Daniel Brière and Donald Brashear). On the other end, other players who weren't supposed to come were there to replace them, but not knowing in advance they were going to be around, I hadn't brought cards of them. They were Maxime Talbot, Bruno Gervais, Jason Demers and Alexandre Picard (the forward).
