Wendel Clark now works for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the PR area. He has done a few charity events in Saskatchewan in 2009 so we were able to attend both events, chat with him for a bit and get some items signed. Both events were great causes; The Pink Ribbon Classic is a breast cancer fundraiser in Spiritwood, Sk and the University of Saskatchewan Men's Hockey Team raised money raised for their hockey program. This blog will show case some of the items we had signed, videos and pictures of Wendel at the events and some memorabilia cards.

Wendel Clark Signed Jersey, Puck and something from Chaser too!








Today was the first annual University of Saskatchewan Husky Hockey Dogs Off the Leash Luncheon. Master of Ceremonies was former NHL'er Kelly Chase and the guest speaker was Saskatchewan's own, Wendel Clark.  I got Clark this summer on a bunch of stuff but hey, it's Wendel.  He's our local boy who made good in the hockey world.  He spoke for about 5 mins and then opened it up for questions.  Chase said they both would stick around to sign autographs and I got ready.  I watched where they would be and moved quickly when the program was over.  I was by myself so there were no chances for my usual closeup pics.  I got to Wendel in no time at all and I asked if he could personalize it, he said "Sure" and I spelled my name.  He wrote 'Best Wishes',  I thought that was cool, something more when he knows its for you.  I saw other ask for two autographs so I asked for a puck too, not a problem and off I went.  I got Kelly Chase on a puck on the way out, quick nothing much but a 'graph'.  He did have a huge ring on, I thought for a second, he did not win a Cup but he did mention his junior team won a Championship in the US.
