I’m so glad this year I was able to form a coherent sentence to Ovie, instead of “ASKADLJSLAKADSJKF I DREW THIS.”

I saw Semin give a teenage girl a big hug when she said it was her birthday. He was in the area that had kids board games and played for quite a while with the kids there. He also signed a number of autographs for people standing there, including my shirt. He looked like he was having a lot of fun. It was good to see.

What great pictures – one of the reasons we love hockey. These players are so approachable and truly seem to love interacting with the fans. Thanks for sharing!

While you didn’t post that image here, Eakin and Laich also played in the “Drop In Hockey” with the kids — at a later time than Holtby and immediately prior to their autograph session. From what I could see, Eakin was in there for a long time and must have been joined by Brookie. (I had earlier seen Holtby in there. Didn’t realized Beagle was in there, too.
