mfitz804 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Anyone have a big enough set of balls to try to text or call Chad Erickson for me? I found a phone number but I have already tried to contact him a few times by mail and I am afraid to take the next step. Get me the puck and there’s a cash reward… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Anyone know if we have ever dressed an emergency backup goalie previously? I feel like it may have happened another time but I don’t recall. Trying to decide if maybe I expand the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 back in the early 80's didn't bob hoffmeyer then an assistant coach suit up as an emergency goalie? I'm not sure if he did for the Devils or the minor league team at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, I messaged Adam Shapiro on Instagram to see if he would be willing to sign one. Why the fvck not?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like someone will come after you and kill you. Go for it. Take one for the team (you are the team). We are along for the ride. What do you think? I will make the call if you won't, but I will sound like a joke saying I am calling for a collector who is too afraid to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Some grade A motivational speaking right there. You can always hope it goes to voicemail and you can leave a message.

You can always hope it goes to voicemail and you can leave a message. I have to do something, I’m getting bored and there’s only a few left. I even added Kyle Shapiro to my list. He didn’t play, but he dressed, maybe that’s good enough. that will open up the door to other guys who may have backed up but never played. Ari Ahonen is one.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) @mfitz804 if you don't want to use Chad Erickson's phone number a possible alternative could be to see if you can contact Minnesota Duluth's Alumni department and see if he is a member, and if so would they be willing to send something on for you? They wouldnt have to give you his address or anything so No GDPR issue. But it may be more wasted postage and pucks.

I expect I will up my efforts to find Kyle Shapiro once work gets a little easier overwhelming. So far he has not responded to my Instagram message (not has he posted since I sent it).

mfitz804 Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Holy sh!tballs, anyone think that Chad Erickson would send me back a signed puck 7 months later?? I sure didn’t. He included a handwritten note apologizing for the delay, congratulating me on the collection, and wishing me luck in getting it completed. And then there were two. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Have you gotten the current goalies Daws and Gillies? If not there's a season ticket holder team autograph event on March 29th that you could probably grab tickets from someone in one of the Facebook groups for.

I appreciate the heads up, but I did find both of those guys on eBay. I am especially glad I grabbed the Daws, as I have not seen another yet. With current guys, its only a matter of time before they are "out there". Its only Sam St. Laurent and Hannu Kamppuri remaining (until the next one). I have someone from the Finnish HHOF helping me contact Hannu, hopefully that comes through. Sam St. Laurent, I picture him living in a remote shack with no phone, internet connection or electricity because he has been about that easy to find information on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 On Sam St. Lauren have you ever reached out to Chico or players he may have played with to see if they know how to get hold of him? He was the Rangers goalie Coach till 2004. Can't imagine him not coming to the Devil's rink and Chico not bumping into him and having a chat.
