Before our minor league hockey team was an AHL team they were and ECHL team.
A couple stories from the guys.
For one my sister was friends with quite a few of the players and she and her friends would go back and forth playing pranks with the guys and they would prank the girls. One thing my sister did was while the team was away on a road trip she went to one of the player's apartments and put some leftover pizza in his truck so when he got back he had this moldy pizza sitting in his truck. He saw my sister out eating a couple day after he got back and sent her over a drink and had the waitress ask her if she wanted to go out for pizza later.
One of the guys got in a fight and knocked the oposing players front teeth out in the fight. He felt bad about it and took the guy out for a steak dinner after the game.
One of the goalies was familiar with my friends and I and we would burn him cd's of our band. Every other week or so we'd see him after the games and he'd ask if we had any shows coming up and if we had any new cd's for him. We were in high school at the time so it was cool to us.
One night Steve Austin was there for an autograph signing and we were hanging out in the club room after the game. Austin came down and was about to walk through a door when one of the players passed him and said to us. "Why does he look so mad? Did you guys lay the smackdown on old Stone Cold?" Austin hadn't made it through the door yet and the player was back to back with him and I don't think he knew Austin hadn't gone through the door. Austin stopped when he said it and looked over at us and smiled and we couldn't help but laugh.
Anyone have any similar stories?
Oh and Eric Patterson tried to kill me but that's another story for another time.
