Brett Leonhardt
Some of you may remember Brett Leonhardt. He is a website guy for the Washington Capitals who appeared as the team's backup goalie for one game on December 12, 2008. The full story can be seen here, but in a nutshell the Caps had an injury, and their top guy in the AHL could not make it in time for the start of the game. Leonhardt played college hockey in the ECAC, and has practiced a few times with the Caps. But this time, he got to be the backup goalie--at least for the game's first ten minutes.
After hearing about that, I made a couple of custom cards of Leonhardt to get autographed. I never did send them out--I figured he probably got swamped with fan mail the first couple of weeks. Then I forgot about this custom card. Now that I am updating this blog every day (or at least every weekday), I found this and decided to post it. Maybe I'll even send Leonhardt a few of these and ask him to sign one for me.
