When I was 10-11 years old, I used to practice/play at Raquet & Rink in Farmingdale. Where the Isles used to practice. Once they were done, a lot of them would mill around the lobby and concession stand. They'd sign autographs, talk to fans and have a couple beers before leaving. I had a lot of autographs on one of my sticks. Billy Smith, Nystrom, Howatt, Parise, both Jean & Denis Potvin, etc. Of course, since they were so easy to get, i would play street hockey with it. Threw it away when it broke, decades ago. Sure would be nice to have that piece of memorabilia now.
