My first Jersey I want to show you is one of my prized possesions. It is a Chicago Blackhawks authentic Toews jersey. I got it last summer on a familly trip to Chicago and i have a cool little story to go with it.
Shortly before I bought this jersey we were out at Harry Carreys restaurant enjoying a nice dinner. It was probably a little less than a month after the hawks had won the Cup. I noticed something outside the restaurant with a lot of people wearing hawks jerseys around this red carpet. I started getting curious, we were just about to leave when i said wait a minute, I went up to the red carpet and just waited. I waited for a bit when I saw a limo show up. Out came Patrick Sharp (Chicao Blackhawk btw) and Brian Campbel. That was pretty cool. I was able to get up close enough to snap some pics, but the highlight of this was when Brett Hull, Terry Sawchuck and Stan Mikta. It was the coolest thing. I got to shake Stan Mikitas hand and my step dad and my mom were trying to convince me to ask Bobby Hull to sign my Sudbury Wolves hat. They wanted me to say that I was a good Canadian boy from Sudbury. Lets just say i couldnt ask him. It was definitly a cool experience and something I will never forget as long as I have this jersey. That is what is the best thing about my jerseys is that they all have some sort of memory attached to them and I love that.
