Favorite Steeline Memory: Oh geez, there are so many. We do some really cool and interesting side gigs, too many to mention. But probably my favorite memory is: I gave one of my sticks to a random little girl at a game a couple years ago. At one of the preseason games the following year she and her dad sought me out, told me how much she loves the stick, and took a picture with me. He told me that she has the stick displayed on a shelf with her girly toys. Then later in the season they came to another game and brought the stick that I was able to sign for her. That's the best part of what we do.
