First action figure this year went to Mike Egener for getting drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning this year. Way to go Mike! What a good guy. You'd never think he gets into tons of fights on the ice. Merry Christmas Mike! And congrats on getting drafted.




Second action figure goes to Brandon Segal for scoring his 100th WHL career goal. Quite an achievement since only 4 other players in the history of the Calgary Hitmen have done this.


Third figure goes to Shaun Landolt for getting drafted to the Toronto Maple Leafs this year. Initially, I don't think Shaun quite knew how to react to a gift like this. I think he liked it, but he was very calm and cool about it. I guess he wasn't used to the attention. Anyways, way to go Shaun! Congrats on getting drafted!



And the final action figure went to Ryan Getzlaf this year for his Gold-Medal-winning performance with the Canadian Under-18 Team. Nice work Ryan! I think Ryan's gonna end up with a BUNCH of action figures before his career with the Hitmen is over.

































Once again, the Hitmen Christmas party is one of the highlights of the hockey year for me. What a great and relaxed environment to talk with the players, get photographs and autographs, and just have a good time! Charla & team, well done!
PS: nice to meet you Derek! I look forward to talking with you more about all sorts of Hitmen stuff!
