John Candy

I'm not an autograph collector however, I have a few I have saved over the years

I met John Candy at an LA Kings hockey game in 1989. He was sitting right behind my friends and I and signed our programs

I came across it in a box a bit ago and am really not sure what to do with it. I'm not a big autograph person. Any input is much appreciated :)

I also have a few sports autographs. One is a notepad with (I believe 12) consecutive Bip Roberts autographs. He left a signing at my work and had already signed the pad and given it to me in case anyone else wanted his autograph.

John Candy...what a truly awesome human being all around! He's the one person I wish I could have met in person! Amazing autograph you've got there!

Btw, from the list of players you've got there, I remember bumping into Marty McSorley once in a bar in Hamilton and got his autograph!

Cheers! Greg

Hi Andrew,

I'm new to the site. Is there a place to post them for sale or just in a thread?

He was really fun to meet. It made our trip from San Deigo to LA worthwhile.

It was hilarious actually! My girlfriends and I had met some of the Bruins team members in San Diego. They invited us to the game and told us they would leave tickets at will call for us.

We were young and dumb and excited ha. We got there and no tickets. We felt totally dupped!!!! Turns out the guys we had met were on the B team...(whatever it's called). But they never bothered to mention THAT to us hahaha. Guess it could have been worse... They could have not even been on any team! .

So we had to scrape all our money together and buy scalped tickets at an unexpected cost.

We ended up having seats right in front of John Candy

Thanks B-team! ;)
The friends I was with are still my closest friends and We still laugh about it today
