Kudos to some hockey players
Tonight I went to the NCAA Men's Hockey Regionals in Worcester, Mass., where I ended up watching BU lose to North Dakota. Among the fans nearby were none other than Mike Eruzione and Ray Bourque.
These guys were beseiged by autograph seekers--many kids, and a bunch of adults too...and without a frown, they signed shirts, jerseys, programs, ticket stubs, and pretty much anything else put in front of them. I think it's really cool that these guys will make themselves accessible like this, without a single complaint, and without asking for anything in return. It helps build excitement in the sport, especially with the children who play hockey and will remember such experiences for many years.
Anyway, I just wanted to publicly express my appreciation for what these guys do.
