Nugget was the first in the line up...followed closely by one of our favorites...
Conrad Reeder!!! "We love you Conrad, oh yes we do...oh Conrad we love you!"
Aiden loves Conrad and loves singing his song! He also loves how he slides on his head backwards down the ice when he gets a "star of the game". Conrad is always very nice...he makes sure to give both of the boys knuckles whenever they see him.
Scott Wray is in the blue shirt...he has 2 young boys who play hockey with Tyson out at the Thunderdome. He even helped with some of the practices for the mites...very cool to get to play hockey with a Rush player! :)
Aiden was a bit nervous, but quickly warmed up and got right in there making sure to get his poster ready for all of the players to sign.
Scott had all of the players sign his Rush cap...Sean Limpright is signing it with Anthony Perdicaro next to him.
Goal tender "Timmy" Boron signing Tyson's poster...Tyson watches his every move when he's out on the ice! Danny Battachio tore his ACL midway through the season, and Timmy stepped up and did an awesome job as goalie for the Rush...definitely not a bad guy to idolize!
We eventually made it down to the end of the table where they had clearly saved "the best for last!"...if you ask Grandma Brenda, anyway! :) In all honestly, though, Riley Wesloeski (defenseman for the Rush) is not only an awesome hockey player but an absolute stand-up guy! He is involved in all sorts of community activities, and does 90% of them on his own time. In fact he was named "CHL Man of the Year" this year...definitely well deserved!
He was so nice to the boys, and thanked us numerous times for coming out to watch the game! He even posed with a nice smile so Grandma could get a good picture of him! :) Aiden has even started singing the "I love you Conrad" song, but will change it up to sing..."We love you Wezzie (his nickname), oh yes we do. Oh Wezzie we love you!"
Taking great time and care to sign Scott's cap. :)
It made for a late night, but I think we would all agree that it was definitely worth it!!
