TV time, Radio fun, and Hockey Legends
Friday night I accompanied Keira to CTV for her spot about the MySpace extravaganza.
Following that we headed to the Shark Club to watch the Canucks game and met up with Captain Scotty of the CFOX morning crew.
This morning, John and I went to North Vancouver and spent several hours enjoying Standard Building and Supplies’ Customer appreciation day, rubbing elbows with local and international hockey legends.
It was amazing to see Bobby Baun, meet him and shake his hand. He played for the Maple Leafs (alongside Tim Horton) when they won the 1963-1964 Stanley Cup.
Very cool to get my photo with infamous Canucks scrapper Gino Odjick and Dave Babych (with his trademark mustache… which is now more of a goatee) who is such a nice guy.
“King” Richard Brodeur (left) and Bobby Hull (right), I’ll never forget this day and the fact the Bobby Hull called me “cutie”. I also adore his message on my autograph: “To Rebecca, With Love, Bobby Hull #9“.

Former Portland Winterhawk; Dave Babych. Watched him play back in 1980…and he had much more hair on top of his head then.
His brother, Wayne, was an awesome player with st. Louis as well…
I’m jealous…

You should’ve asked Gino if he’d be interested in making a comeback for the Canucks? We need some of him from the Game 5 vs. St. Louis
