Back in the day when the Long Beach Ice Dogs were still around we became friends with a bunch of the guys on the team. We love goalies and Mike became friends with them right away. One in particular was Jaroslav Halak. The Long Beach ECHL team folded and Jaro eventually got called up to the Montreal Canadians in the NHL.
Through the recent years Mike and Jaro have keep in touch through emails back and forth. In one of those emails back around September or October, Jaro told Mike that he would send him his trapper (one of the goalie gloves) at the end of the season. Unfortunately the end of the season came too soon but Jaro remembered his email to Mike months ago. On Friday Mike got a package in the mail and there was his trapper just like Jaro said.
What a nice guy to remember the little people back in Long Beach. He totally made Mike’s day!
That's awesome.
