Hey folks! Since it’s the big Hockey Hall of Fame induction week in Toronto right now (HHOF by the way unfortunately still perennially snubbing my favourite NHL player of all time in the legendary great Glenn Anderson – bloody well way overdue there if you ask me) – what better way to celebrate than with a special action-packed video episode celebrating the National Hockey League and its stars of past & present here (plus catching a special few celebrity surprises selectively on hand as award presenters & co-hosts there)! This is my exclusive red carpet report from the 2007 NHL Awards that took place at Toronto’s historic landmark Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre earlier this year in June. The greats of the game were out in full force and it truly was a real pleasure and thrilling honour to meet them all there in person – Joe Sakic, Cam Neely, Willie O’Ree, Chris Pronger… just too many names & so much more there to mention so you’re just going to have to click that little play button above and watch the video for yourselves really! It was especially grand to meet the high commissioner of the NHL himself, Mr. Gary B. Bettman – but something tells me he didn’t appreciate the question I posed to him at this NHL pre-awards show ceremony (hint: Hamilton Steeltown ice hockey anyone?)
I even had a chance to brush up against Mr. Hockey himself, Gordie Howe. But folks, you’re going to have to join my official Facebook group to see that video. See you there!
