Frank Hofer gives a recap of the season ticket holder event, well, most of the practice, anyway.
I used to attend these,but I have the same problem Frank has--I'm not there for the autographs, and for a couple of seasons, the practices were less than inspired.
One nice story from a practice about 7 years ago. I took some photos of Taras Lendzyk, who was in the Sharks training camp. He had graduated from Minnesota Duluth, and was in on a tryout. I put the photos up on my website with other goalie photos.
Then, couple of years back I hear from friends of his--could get they copies of the photos, since they were the only record of his ever having been to an NHL camp? Sure!. I made duplicates of the slides and sent them. A couple of weeks later, I received a nicely autographed ECHL program from Taras Lendzyk, who had received the photos from his friends. Nice!
I just checked, Taras Lendzyk is currently goalie coaching up in Duluth. He has his memories of the Sharks camp, and now he has the photos as well.
