Made some new signs for the last practice and braved the parking lot line for the first time. A huge thank you to u/Alphax005 and u/futuregoalie for the inspiration and morale support! 🌟
The players were split up in the two different rinks and Will was unfortunately not in the main one. And the staff wouldn’t let anyone have their signs against the glass this time while practice was in session. So no luck there & I went to go stand in the line.
I think Big Rig was the first to stop today, and then Ebs. The always gracious Joey was willing to sign for everyone, and behind him was Tye, WrightStuff, and Wints all in one car. I happened to be wearing my Firebirds hat, so I was excited to have something for them to sign.
A few folks were only asking Tye, not the others, so I went right up to Wints in the back seat and got to talk to him for a second or two. They all seemed to think it was cool that someone had a Firebirds hat. You can hopefully see all 4 signatures in the 2nd photo.
And Borgy finally came out but did not stop. 🤷🏻♀️. He definitely saw me with my sign and my jersey though when he drove past! He did a bit of a double take and then smiled and waved, so that made its worthwhile. I think I can live with being his “missed opportunity”. 😂
Thanks for all of your support, subreddit friends!

Omg you have to try getting Borgy’s auto next season! This is so sweet you even drew him 🥺💖 my oil pastel sign for Driedger doesn’t come close!! This is super cool. I’m glad he at least waved at you! How was Joey? Did he smile at you? 🤩
this is just part 1
the saga continues september 2024
OP pls 🥺🙏
What a beautiful drawing of Will! So cool seeing the Firebirds boys riding together.
The Firebirds don’t open practice to the public and I think they’re pretty strict about people hanging out in the area before and after practice. I want to try and have Shane sign my home Kraken 51 sweater.
