Boston Bruins Training Camp

[blackngold412]

I am continuing my annual project of sending a bunch of Bruins custom index cards during Training Camp.
This season, 55 players were invited to camp, and I am sending requests to 33 of them.
Here are 2 examples of the index cards I made for this year, all use the same simple format.
Shawn Thornton (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a95/blackngold412/thornton.jpg)
Matt Lashoff (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a95/blackngold412/lashoff.jpg)

Here is a list of the players I'm sending to, all requests are made and will go out tomorrow.

Good luck... I heard in many places that current nhl players don't sign index cards b/c their autographs get forged... or something like that!

i think thats a myth for the most part...
i did the same thing last year at training camp with index cards and got 15 of 25 back... including some big name nhl'ers

[Ken Hastings]

Those look great. Good Luck, and Go B's!

[blackngold412]

thanks ken

got my first success today, see original post

i will be updating the original post as i get them

[blackngold412]

got back another 2 today, bringing my total to 4 which took less than 10 days

[blackngold412]

Thought this might use a bump.

Edited the original post to reflect progress so far.

Got 17 of the 33 signed so far, 18 responses in all counting the Alberts.

Pretty good so far in my opinion, hopefully I'll get some more back when the season ends and the players hit their fan mail.

They are pretty good signers as a team. I've gone to actual training camp sessions and gotten most of the team in one morning

I had success in the past with Bergeron and Savard and Rask signed for me this year at the Providence Bruins team address.

[nupol80]

I've never written to Bergeron or Savard. Did you write to them at the team?

[shelby1]

I wrote to Bergeron at the Bruins. I don't remember if I wrote to Savard at the team or at this address:

Marc Savard 197 8th Atreet Apt. 511 Charlestown, MA. 02129

I've never tried it, but I have home addresses for Sturm and Kessel if you want them
