I really didn’t start to collect hockey related memorabilia until I was an adult. Sure, as a kid I had some practice pucks or other little souvenirs that my parents would get for me but they were never proper collectors so they didn’t put much importance on those kind of things. However, as I became an adult I have found that I enjoy a small amount of collectibles for my “man cave” type spaces in my houses or apartments. So, I have a few signed items. For example, a few years ago I had Bergeron sign a large photo of himself that I’ve since had framed. I’ve also got a game puck that Marchand has signed. The final piece of memorabilia that I really enjoy is a portion of a game worn jersey from Milan Lucic during Boston’s 2011 Stanley Cup run that I also have mounted and framed and signed.

I’m not really enamored by any of these things but they are neat to have in my office space to remember my time as a season ticket owner and to enjoy from time to time.
