A sweet autograph pickup autograph I purchased online from ebay. Calvin De Haan is a great NY Islanders prospects who was drafted 12th overall in 2009 entry draft. He's likely to hit the NHL circuit soon, perhaps when the lockout ends or in the next season. Another year in the AHL seems to be the prescription for this guy for now. Calvin signed this card in a great silver sharpie. Beautiful!

Oh, a surprise return from Glenn Healy. I got this return, not even knowing I had sent it out (actually to be fair, my girlfriend sent it out :D). I didn't keep track of this one, but I'm happy to have gotten a return. He never really played a full season in the NHL, but is now still heavily involved with CBC/TSN and commentating on hockey games. Thanks for the return Glenn!

Sweet! I'm really excited about this return as I've liked John Tavares ever since he was drafted into the NHL. He was a key contributer to Team Canada winning gold in 2008 and 2009. He amassed a staggering 15 points in 2009, scoring 8 goals and getting 7 assists. John added my name on to this card, but I'm just as happy as I got his auto! Thanks a bunch!

Holy cow! A great autograph from Matt Martin in about a month! You can't really get much better than that (ok, I can think about 30 other response times which you can do better)! Matt has been a great player for the NY Islanders and is a great rookie. I hope he and Tavares can help the Islanders regain their winning ways.

An autograph from hall of fame player Bryan Trottier is really something! Bryan was inducted into the HHOF in 1997 along side Mario Lemieux and Glen Sather. His autograph was attained at a London Drugs in Vancouver. I do have to write that I didn't get these myself, but my girlfriend got these for me. Thanks for waiting =D.

This is probably my favorite card of the bunch, as the autograph is really well done and shows up so nicely. Jeff is one of the fastest players on the team, and has been really effective this year using his speed. Thanks for the awesome signature Jeff!

Bryan McCabe is the current captain of the Florida Panthers. He initially drafted by the New York Islanders, and went on to play for various teams including the Canucks, Hawks and Leafs. As a junior, he won gold medal for Team Canada in the four years he was representing them. Bryan signed my card quickly in just under 30 days!

Brent Sutter is currently the head coach of the Calgary Flames. An old school coach with some old school thinking, but he's starting to turn this Calgary team around and putting them in a playoff position. He signed very quickly, and I'm happy to have his autograph. Good luck in your push to the playoffs Brent!
