The Kings held their annual Meet the Players day. Annette and I went out there and meet two players, Patrick O’Sulivan and Brian Boyle. Boyle was extremely engaging after the first few minutes. I’m not sure he knew what to expect. By the time I got to talk to him, he was friendly, signed my jersey, and chat for a couple of seconds. I now have his Manchester jersey *minors* signed.
Since Annette was already in line for Sully, I ended up waiting at the front of the line. I happen to strike up a conversation with Sully’s girlfriend. Very nice woman and Sully will be lucky if she says yes when he proposes. They’ve known each other since they were 16 years old! I asked her what was different about Patrick in NHL v juniors she said that he was known as Hat Trick Patrick in juniors while in NHL he plays more defensively.
Overall, a very good day.
