Former NHL player and 3x All-Star, Bernie Nicholls was scheduled to sign at an optometrist office in Rowland Heights so I decided to check it out for this rare opportunity to get a chance to meet him. He was scheduled to start at 2:30 and finish at 3:30 and they announced he would do 1 per for the 1st 50 fans, but if you bought a photo or puck from the office you would get a ticket to get the item signed plus an additional item. I arrived around 11:15 and bought an 8x10 and then I left to eat and go to a nearby store while I tried to kill some time. I got in line around 12:30 and there was about 30-40 people in line. Bernie arrived at about 2:00 but did not begin to sign until 3:00. I finally got inside and got to meet him at about 3:25 and I had him sign my 8x10 with the "3 Allstars" inscription and a card I brought as well:
Bernie was very nice with fans and even took his 2012 Stanley Cup Championship ring and let everyone take pictures with it. Overall about 75 people showed up and it was a great signing, so thanks to Dr. Liu for hosting the signing and thanks to Bernie for being such a great guy and signing and taking pictures with everyone. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more.
