A great time was had by one and all. Kevin Shea was the pinch hitter called up to step into the breach as the interviewee, with guests Jamie Dinsdale, CEO of the Hockey Hall of Fame and Sherry Bassin.
Kevin Shea interviews Jamie Dinsdale, CEO of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Sherry Bassin, a proud Canadian, regaled us with stories from Gretzky to McDavid. Stay tuned for his upcoming book, it promises to be a great read.
Both guest speakers were outstanding, with many background stories and laughter.
The event started with a touching one-minute silence to honour three hockey legends who passed away recently - Bob Pulford, David Bransh and Glenn Hall.
Dan Bodanis Gifted a print from a photo shoot he took during the Hockey Conquer Cancer event.
The Dynamic Duo of Bill Heffernan and Michael O’Grady sang a song about Glenn Hall. This was written by Bill Heffernan while riding in a carpool. (I personally love to hear the stories behind the songs.)
We had well over 60 people at the event, and the paparazzi were out in full force. A.K.A. Dan Bodanis and Naguib Kerba
Ex Maple Leaf, Claire Alexander, dropped in from the St. Catharines area for lunch.
I was the sniper photographer while Dan manned the video and main-stage cameras. I decided to try some Black-and-White captures for a change.
AND NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY…
