Puck Junk

 A little late posting this about a package I received from Sal at Puck Junk. Sal launched his blog on Oct 5, 2007 and I somehow found his site on Oct 8, 2007. We've had contact off and on since then. I requested his series 2 Bad Hockey Card Hall of Fame card set and got his letter with all his socials to follow him.

Here's the front and back of his cards. These are nice glossy cards and will go with my series 1 set.

And somehow Pete Stemkowski is creeping the scan of the card backs.

So, if you are a hockey fan, give Sal a follow at any or all of the QR codes in his above newsletter.

Oot & aboot

 Time to go oot and aboot again.

This past weekend was the annual  town wide yard sale in Burford, just down the road a ways. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to check a lot out. I made my way to the fairgrounds where there was a lot of vendors. Alas, there was only the one guy selling sports cards. In one of the buildings was this jersey hanging on  the wall.

Burford's own Adam Henrique Devils jersey from 2012 SCF.  I have previously done oot and aboot segments showing the Burford Welcome sign , Home of Adam Henrique with the team logo of his current team at the time.

From the card dealer, I had to pick this card up after looking through his boxes. Very apopros.

So ends another episode of oot and aboot. Happy trails.

In Person signing event 2

July 17th was designated as Camp Day for Tim Hortons and 100% of the proceeds from hot and iced coffee sales donated to Tim Hortons Foundations Camp. The one location by me had an opportunity to get autographs from present Brantford Bulldog and 2024 NHL number 27 pick by the Chicago Blackhawks, Marek Vanecker.

Bulldog mascot Bruiser was there to greet people.

Marek signing for Bulldog fan Zak.

I printed up these 3 4x6's and got them signed. Talked to him a bit about development camp and the upcoming season. Another Blackhawk signing was former Hawk Mackenzie Entwistle a few weeks ago). Need to get Connor Bedard here. LOL

In Person Signing Event

 Today I went to an in person signing event at Northway Ford Lincoln here in Brantford, ON, home of The Great One. They were hosting MacKenzie Entwistle of the Chicago Blackhawks and former Hamilton Bulldog. Scheduled time was from 12-2. I arrived around 11:50 and was third in line. My friend Dennis was first and was getting his book signed. The next person got their jersey signed and then it was my turn. I didn't have any of his cards so I printed up a few photos to be signed.

 

Dennis's wife Jen took this photo of me and MacKenzie.

It's been a while since I've done an IP event and was successful.  He asked if I had anything else to be signed and I said no. I jokingly said I should have printed out 100 photos and he said he would have signed them all. He is also picking the Panthers to win the Cup. He also confirmed that Connor Bedard is a pretty good player. LOL 

Oot & Aboot

 Its been a while since I last posted and a while since I've done an oot & aboot segment. Just in time for the Stanley Cup Finals, the town of Burford has updated their welcome sign. Previously, they had signs for the part of eight seasons he played in New Jersey and seven seasons in Anaheim. Now for his first season in Edmonton we have this.

Burford's favourite son, Adam Henrique.

Now I should take a trip to Oshweken in the Six Nations to see what they have for Brandon Montour. 

At least, the Day with the Cup will be in the vicinity. I'm thinking around July 18th as that will be when the Fourth Annual Henrique Montour Golf Classic will be held. Details here

Another day oot & aboot. Go Leafs Go.
