Nelson Fox Baseball Bat
I was looking through my shed trying to find stuff to sell at our garage sale, and me and my dad came across my grandpas old bat. A Nelson Fox bat. We don't know when exactly it is from, but his playing career went from 1947-1965. Meaning that it is at least almost 50 years old. Great find!

Joe Crozier
Today my dad went to a yard sale while I was at school and found this signed Sabres puck for only $1. I've looked at for quite awhile and as you can see it's very old and the signature is now faded. From my studies, I believe it is signed by formor Sabres Coach Joe Crozier. If you have any idea who this is, please let me know. Thanks!

Trevor Petersen Interview and new Interview Annoucments!
We just finished another great interview with Caitlin from The Puck Stops Here ! This time with Trevor Petersen of the OHL Niagara Ice Dogs!
Despite not being drafted in the OHL draft Trevor Petersen has found a home with the Niagara Ice Dogs in the OHL. Peterson was determined to work hard and show the OHL what they had missed by passing home over, he worked hard and was able to get the attention of the Ice Dogs. Petersen and the Ice Dogs are battling it out for the OHL championship against the London Knights.
Trevor will have one more season in the OHL before his NHL draft year and will look to have a bigger role with the Ice Dogs next season and solidify his chance of getting drafted. Trevor is a solid two way player who has the ice and the skill to compete against the best. He's making a name for himself on a star studded Niagara Ice Dogs team!

(Campbell,Caitlin The Puck Stops Here)
1. Who has had the biggest influence on your life?
The biggest influence has been my parents, they have always been there for me whether things are going my way or not. They have taught me so much about growing up and being a good person outside of the rink which has really helped my character!
2. What are your plans for next season?
Next season I see myself having a bigger role with the ice dogs as the majority of the top 6 forwards are leaving. It is also my draft year next season (as I have a late birthday) so I am aiming for a 30-40 point season next year.
3. Your first fight in the OHL was against your high school friend Joseph Blandisi, what was it like fighting a former friend? Did you win?
Joe and I planned that fight as we both wanted to get our first OHL fight out of the way. It wasn't much of a fight, more of a wrestling match as we are still good buddies.
4. Looking back was not getting drafted in the OHL better for your career? (many players who had gotten drafted have yet to make their teams).
Not getting drafted was really difficult at the beginning, a lot of the teams were talking to me and telling me they would take me in one of the first 5 rounds. After not getting drafted I refocused on getting a NCAA school to take me on for next season Maine, UNH, and Quinnipiac all contacted me. Robert Morris ended up offering me a spot on the Niagara Ice Dogs and I felt coming to Niagara would be the best fit for me. So yes not getting drafted originally opened up more roads for me.
5. Whats it like playing/hanging out with players like Dougie Hamilton, Mark Visetin and Ryan Strome?
These guys are players who I can admire both on and off the ice. They are really great guys to have around and have taught me so much this season: From leading by example to giving me little tips here and there. Most importantly these gentleman have taught me to be mature and that you need to be loyal both on and off the ice.
6. At what age did you know hockey was your sport?
My dad laced me up around the age of 5 but my first year of house league hockey was pretty rough. That summer I enrolled in hockey schools and power skating lessons, the next season I came back and was a superstar from that moment I knew I wanted to play at the highest level of hockey possible! Hockey is such a unique sport, whenever I'm on the ice it just clears my mind and I feel so relaxed while doing what I love for a living.
7. What is your greatest hockey memory?
There have been a lot of great memories, but the ones that I remember the most are playing shinny with the buddies during summer break and skating on the out door rinks during the Christmas holidays. There's nothing better!
8. What is your favourite NHL team?
My favourite NHL team is the Chicago Blackhawks. Patrick Kane.
9. If you could meet any player past or present who would it be?
The biggest influence has been my parents, they have always been there for me whether things are going my way or not. They have taught me so much about growing up and being a good person outside of the rink which has really helped my character!

My favourite NHL team is the Chicago Blackhawks. Patrick Kane.
9. If you could meet any player past or present who would it be?
Wayne Gretzky, he is considered to be the best player to ever play the game. So I think it would be cool too meet him and hear what he would say about his greatest moments and memories throughout his career.
10. If you could play for any NHL which would it be and why?
Honestly playing for any NHL team would be a huge honour! My agent and I have already been contacted by a few teams and whenever a new team contacts us I get really excited and it just motivates me to work that much harder. Playing in the NHL would be a dream come true, and right now I'm all about making my dreams become a reality!

Trevor Peterson of the Niagara Ice Dogs!
Maxim Lapierre
Well, the trip to Dave and Adams got even better. Before I had arrived someone opened a box of 2011/12 Hockey Pinnacle and pulled a jersey card of Maxim Lapierre. However, they didn't want the card so they told the worker to put it in the free box. Now this is a very rare occassion, having a jersey card in the free box. However, the worker, knowing I collect jersey cards, set it a side for me! It's numbered 477/499! Another great free card! It appears to be a piece of his Habs jersey!
Tony Romo
I was at my local Dave and Adams Card world searching through the free card box when I came across this! It's a numbered Tony Romo 178/999 Card! Not a bad find in the free box!
