Dany Heatley "feel good" story

It makes me feel better about the team I support!!

Rec’d.

Solid story.

What a wonderful story!

for sharing the good story with us!

Great story.

Very cool story. :)

Great story. Thanks for sharing! I’ve heard only good things about Heater’s fan interactions.

Nice story. I love hearing about players’ personal interaction with fans.

That’s pretty great. What I like about it, from his point of view, he’s loving hockey enough that when it comes to the choice between staring out the window or listening to his iPod, he wants to talk hockey with a young kid :D

Glad he’s on our team. Nice story!

I saw him Saturday and he was the nicest of them all! When I asked for a photo he didn’t just say sure or yea. He said ABSOLUTELY then he proceeded to asked how I was, if I had a good time today, if I was going to come back the next day. I think the pure joy in my face was happier in that picture than with Clowe! Then, on his way out he rolled down his window to his gorgeous Bentley and said “Bye. Have a great day ladies”. He was so nice, genuine and happy. It definitely changed my opinion on him immensely.

Loved reading the comments on here today. Ya, it was a story that I had to share after hearing it. Sometimes players get bad raps, and sometimes players just are having bad days when they interact with fans. It has to be tough to be expected to be nice all of the time when you are interacting with fans on a daily basis. Most of the time, the stories you hear are about the time a player or celebrity was NOT nice to a fan. Its important that we share the positive stories as well.

Nice story, rec’d

is still a lousy pitcher! Hahaha. Good story btw, a lot of people that learn about his accident in ATL and the resulting death of his team mate/ friend and subsequent trade to Ottawa might have preconceived notions about what he’s like, so It’s great to hear a story like this. So many athletes are absolute d-bags in real life.

Speaking of down to earth players, anyone remember that story last season about Brooks Laich of the Caps helping a couple of fans (a mother and daughter) change their tire after they just lost their Game 7 against Montreal?

Not quite as good as the Heatley one, but another indication they start ’em young being nice to us fans.

The other day my cell phone rings, but I’m at lunch for a co-workers birthday and I knew the call was personal (bless you caller id) so I didn’t pick up. then I hear the voicemail tone, and then a text and I though geez what’s so urgent?

I didn’t listen to the voicemail until the on the way back to the office, turns out my friend (who knows most of the Woostah players) called me and then asked Alex Stalock to talk to me, which he graciously did, albeit via voicemail lol.

He was so nice and left a decent length message, not just a “hithisisalexstalocksorryimissedyoukbai” lol! It made my day and I play the message for anyone who’ll listen. :oD

Yes, I am a dork.

Here’s to a 12 yr old kid in the OC clapping and inspired when Heater finally raises the cup in SJ.
