Toronto acc ip

[donchrito]

Hey guys just wondering how it is at the acc this year havent gone in about 10 years not sure how good it is now, has anybody gone lately???? also heard the mastercard center is good but havent been there b4.

can anybody please help me out and let me know if its even worth it now.

plus do most visiting teams still stay at the western harbor castle?

Been to Toronto once, but have a few contacts there..

ACC is a waste of time from what I hear. No access at all.

Mastercard is your best bet, but I have heard most days its not great either. I went once and did great, but it was a perfect storm (not too great weather, and a very rare day of no ebayers). But most days I hear its rough

And nobody stays there anymore that Ive heard minus Buffalo

Funny you mention ebayers, recently I've decided to try and get some IP in edmonton at Rexhall so I wad and am looking for any help/advice as I've never been there so I went to kijiji to see who was selling non coa graphs and emailed a guy. While he hadnt tikd me where to go he did give me the hotel visiting teams stay at, then tried to sell me some of his stuff. Guess thars what I get for contacting kijiji or ebay hounds lol. Furthermore it goes to show how the members on this board always help one another and never charge

what time did you go during the day so i know roughly what time i should shoot for....

I love it.
That's what we'll call them from now on, "E-Bay autograph hounds".
That pretty much says it all.
There in every city.
I pretty much retired from the IP scene in Vancouver a couple sesons ago because of them.
Well that and work schedules and time constraints etc.
Sometimes just not worth it to race down to some place only to get one or no things because players are sick of the money hounds (AKA).
I wish it was like it used to be.

I got there to watch practice at 11 and I think they started coming out around 2 or so

thanks cap....... you were allowed to go in and watch the practice?

[CaptPantalones]

thanks cap....... you were allowed to go in and watch the practice?

Sort of. I was allowed into the arena and got to stand by the glass looking into their rink, which I was told never really happens. Maybe it was because I was talking to security and had mentioned I was from out of town that they let me. It was nice that day tho because on the rink across they were doing a photo shoot after practice so it helped me get Phaneuf, Gustavsson, Reimer, and Armstrong

Yes,they let you stand outside in the lobby of the rink to watch the practice..You don't actually get to go in the rink where the Leafs practice..Get there early the window fills up fast..Bring stuff for Bob McGill & Mark Osborne,they sometimes film for Leafs Today in the lobby...They both work for the LeafsTV..
