So earlier this evening the Hurricanes hosted their exclusive Season Ticket Holder Party. All the STH's got to have a free meal, me a few of the Canes and tour their locker room and "behind the scenes" areas. We actually almost forgot to go to it this evening, but thankfully remembered in time (just in time as it turned out later).
Most of our time was spent waiting in line to get autographs. The team had set up 6 different tables around the RBC center with 4 players/coaches at each table. The schedule only allowed for an hour and a half of time allocated for autographs from the players, and with all the STH's attending, waiting to get those autographs took about 45 minutes per table. Our first table we went to had Assistant Coach Kevin McCarthy, Michael Leighton, Joe Corvo, and Eric Staal. Here's some pics from that table.
Notice out of all of those, who looks like they are most used to being in the spotlight, in the fish-eye lens, and getting the publicity. Someone's been groomed for the public eye.
Next up we waited in line for Jussi Jokinen, Joni Pitkenin, Chad LaRose(The Chuck Norris of Hockey), and Ray Whitney. We were actually the next to last people to get to see those guys. They closed the doors right after us (see the timing part above). The people behind us were pissed. Here's some pics from that table.
The Locker Room tour was much quicker but offered a lot for the camera. Here's some shots.
