I had the chance to meet Hockey Night in Canada commentator and former NHL goalie, Kelly Hrudey, and current Calgary Flames defenceman, Robyn Regher, at the grand opening of CrossIron Mills in Balzac, Alberta. There were so many hockey fans, it was crazy. I’m used to seeing jerseys since I live in a suburb of Calgary but it was nice to see fans of all teams congregating.
I have got to say that Hrudey has been one of the nicest sports personality’s I have ever met. I had my three kids with me and my husband and he wasn’t rushed or anything. He took pictures with everyone and was just incredibly friendly. It was really nice.
I have met Robyn Regher before at a private party when the Juno Awards were here in Calgary and the incident was so unfortunate that I won’t even explain it except to say that I was terribly embarrassed and was left with a poor impression of Regher. I had hoped that things would be different this morning but they weren’t. He wasn’t mean or disrespectful or anything but he’s not the most sociable guy and you just can’t tell if he’s doing something because he wants to or because he feels like he has to.
The images with him have my kids in them so I’d prefer not to put them on the internet but here’s a picture of him sitting there looking very happy
