Nice story indeed.
I was covering the Memorial Cup (Canadian Hockey League championship) as a journalist in 2008. I was covering my hometown Kitchener Rangers, who were hosting the tournament. I was in the media room for lunch before a game and two guys sat at the table next to me. I was reading my notes and didn’t look up. After a few minutes of them talking, one guy’s voice sounded really familiar. I look over and George Brett is sitting right next to me. He was an owner of the Spokane Chiefs, the team that won the Memorial Cup that year.
