Personal Text Msg from an NHL Coach! - pens fan addict - 03-01-2013
Well a couple of weeks ago I contacted the Pens in regards to getting down below after the game so my 6 y/o daughter whom is a big Penguins fan as well could meet some of the players and get some autographs. I explained we live in south florida so we NEVER get a chance to meet the players or get their autos....
I never heard anythiong...so I wrote it off....
Well until Tuesday around noon...when I get a text message frmo a Pittsburgh phone Number.
it stated:
"Hugh, there will be 4 passes at will call for u and your family. Enjoy the game! Coach Bylsma"
I thought for sure it was one of my fire house buddies that new about me contacting them, playing a joke on me. But I had to find out for sure!
Well sure enough...there were 4 passes under my name at will call! WOOHOOO!!!!!
here are some pics:
My daughter, Simon Despres & I (EAT YOUR HEART OUT WALT!!!!)

Wow that's an awesome story and an amazing experience! I've met a couple Blues players at local signings, but to be down in the locker room area and to meet them all had to have been awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding! Your daughter is lucky to have a dad like you!
(I have to ask since she had a Sid jersey...did Crosby come over & sign it?)
