The ice is back in the arenas, the green light on training camps is now down to weeks versus months, and the launch of the season is all but upon us! As goes the NHL season, so goes the memorabilia and collectors world. As such, as we see things ramp up on the sporting side, the signings and product releases will increase in tandem. For those fans itching for the latter, what better way to get back into the swing of things than a Hall of Fame player signing? If that’s your thing, then this Saturday, September 2nd (12 noon), former Islanders great Denis Potvin is appearing at AJ Sportsworld in Vaughan, Ontario, for a public signing. Tickets are available for both regular ($30) and premium ($50) items, while pre-order options and pricing are also available. Check out AJ Sportsworldfor further details on this, and future signings on the horizon! Cheers all! ________________________________________________________________________
