Hammer Visits the 2023 NHL All-Stars
Co-founder Mike Hammer hit the East Coast last weekend for the 2023 NHL All-Star break...
Last week I grabbed our photographer, Chris Glass, and headed to South Florida for some All-Star fun. This event gets a lot of hate but we head out and have a great time every year. Maybe the hate is jealousy…hmm. Anyway, there’s always a nice setup for a fan fest and this might be best yet. Right on the beach with perfect weather!
We met up with my fantastic wife, Carrlyn, at the Lord Stanley display but Chris’ camera would only focus on one thing... Also, we ran into longtime VG supporter/friend Jay Weinberg and his wife Chloe as they were hanging out with Lord Stanley. They looked great in their HellHounds jerseys.
I’m a big fan of large scale items so this giant Funko POP box and hockey helmet really made my entire damn weekend.
We were able to see a couple of our favorite friends right when we walked in…Wild Wing and Youppi! Wouldn't be a perfect trip if we didn't run into some mascots. Was nice to catch up…
Some hockey stuff happened, but you already saw all that. Unreal to see Ovi and Sid together like that…
Finally we ran into Iceburgh. I was a bit nervous as the only other time I saw them they were fighting Jean-Claude Van Damme at the old Civic Arena but was incredibly nice to me. Thanks Iceburgh!
Anyway, the NHL All-Star Game is an amazing time and we hope to see ya there next year in Toronto for the 2024 NHL All-Star Game!
