Today I got a chance to go to the Canadiens practice facility to try and get Carey Price on the photo bellow. I have the ticket stub from Carey's 1st NHL shutout and wanted it framed with a photo. Waited about 15 minutes or so and Carey Price came out after practice and had no problem signing this for me and even included the "1st NHL shutout" inscription to the photo. Once I got it done I went straight to the framers to complete the piece.
Other players come out as well and felt it would be rude to send them off without wanting their auto so I also got this done.

A week after my encounter with Carey Price I got to get PK Subann Rookie Cards autographed. I don't usually do
cards, this was a first. Given the size of my collection I have decided
to downsize. The facility was surprisingly packed today about 50+ people
waiting after practice. When I see a crowd of this size I usually leave
but PK came out as I got there. Luckily my girlfriend was able to
obtain these for me (She's much better looking then me which has helped
my collection a lot). I didn't try for anyone else as the place was a
zoo.
As
a bonus while organizing some stuff in my house I found some old ticket
stubs from the Canadiens Stanley Cup playoffs of 09-10. I thought the
tickets had a pretty original design I thought you guys might want to
take a look. Sadly none of these games where attended by me. A friend
was nice enough to keep the stubs for me. For the most part I use old
stubs as bookmarks and things of that sort but given the history behind
these ones I guess I'll just keep them stored away.
