He leads a tough group of Bantam AAA players who sport the same black and gold as their namesake. While it was hard not to be a bit starstruck, our boys hung tough and played hard despite losing in a 6-3 decision.
And one of the greatest players of all time actually took the time after the game to come into our boys' locker room to congratulate them on a job well-done and signed each boy's hockey stick. What an incredible day for these kids and what a thrill to see one of hockey's greatest share his knowledge and passion with the young players!

Okay - I'm a Caps Fan and have the attnendant bias against the Penguins but the fact he came and signed sticks in the opposing teams locker room is actually just too nice and too cool...
I'm with you - it was very cool! I might add that I was sporting my new red Capitals sweatshirt for the occasion...
Take it from a native Pittsburgher -- Mario is a class act. He is all about the game, helping kids to love it even more, and being a role model. And, by the way, Mario is still Sid's landlord this season.
