Several things went wrong this morning, before even getting to the rink. I finished designing my last few cards and tried to print them off. Of course the ink alignment was still off. But more importantly, I had no cardstock. I found 3 pieces of the wrong thickness of cardstock, 2 pieces of cardstock that had something printed on the other side, and 1 piece of cardstock that had been severely beat up. I then realized that I was missing 8 Riley Armstrong and 1 Hannu Toivonen cards.
I arrove at the rink at around 9:40 and saw a couple people who appeared to be players walking around in parking garage. I first assumed they were Admirals players. as I had saw last time I was here on a Friday around this time. They turned out to be Johnny McInnis and Sean Campbell of the Maine Mariners. I asked Campbell about when he was suspended by the Admirals at the end of last season for failing to report and long story short he didn't have his gear with him. Another group of Mariners came in, with Dwyer Tschantz, Dillan Fox, Wade Murphy, and Jon Jutzi. Unfortunately Jutzi signed half on the card half on the page. I later got him to fix it. I then went down by the ice and saw that the only two Admirals I needed were already on the ice. I headed towards the Mariners locker room and was able to grab Brycen Martin, John Furgele, Garrett Cecere, and Jason Salvaggio.
Admirals players were starting to come off so I headed towards the Admirals' locker room. Coming off the ice Peter Sidorkiewicz signed 8 cards and Sathis Soumelidis signed as well. Sidorkiewicz is not very talkative but has always racked for me.
As I am heading back towards the Mariners locker room, I notice the entire team exiting the arena towards the concessions. They were in street clothes, so they were still probably going to skate and they were going to come back. When they came back I grabbed head coach Riley Armstrong on two custom cards. Coming onto the ice Connor Lacouvee, Ryan Ferrill, and assistant coach Anthony Bohn signed.
Hannu Toivonen
Coming off the ice I double dipped Riley Armstrong on a puck and got a pic-with. Michael McNicholas, Terrance Wallin, video coach Austin Violette, Josh Couturier, Greg Chase, and Hannu Toivonen signed coming off as well. Toivonen signed 15 cards and 2 pucks and also did a pic-with. He commented on the 1/1 card, not knowing what jersey number to put.

When I was about to go home I remembered that I may soon be graphing a Chrysler Hall concert, which is right across the street from the Scope. I decided it took my usual perimeter check to look for all entrances and exits. I also got caught taking these pictures, of what I suspect to be to where the performers would exit.
