Thanks for sharing. That's worth 3.6% of the salary cap (Phillips' contract) right there in my opinion.Chris Phillips-
Just wanted to give a tip of the hat to Chris Phillips. We run a hockey school in an adjacent rink to where Chris skates this time of year, often with his kids. We have made a point of not bothering him and give him his privacy, other than bringing our students over to sit in the stands and watch him for short while, but other wise we leave him alone.
Anyway today he popped into our camp and gave a short talk and joked around with the kids. He asked things like what they were learning at camp, what position they played, the importance of being a good skating and being versatile. He asked if any of them knew that he actually played as a forward when he first played with the Sens and that he had never played forward before that. He also brought his hockey card and autographed each one for our campers and posed for a group picture.
Of course the kids were in awe. He was very genuine. He took time to interact with the kids and wasn't just going through the motions like so many athletes do.
I've always been a fan of Phillips and am even more so now.
