How to Get Autographs From Professional Hockey Players

Getting an item autographed from a professional hockey player can be a little tricky, but is well worth it. Most professional hockey players are more than happy to sign autographs for fans, but it is important to remember they are people, too. Respect their personal time if you intend to ask for an autograph on the street.

      Carry a marker with you to games. If you happen to catch a player before or after a game, you can ask him to sign your item. Most hockey players do not carry markers with them unless they are at a sanctioned autograph session.

      Look on the team website to see if the team plans to have a sanctioned autograph session. This is the easiest way to meet professional hockey players and get autographs. Some team autograph sessions will include the entire team, so you can get many autographs at once.

      Ask the player nicely for an autograph. Nothing will make a signing go South faster than a rude fan. Show respect when you meet the player, as they are doing you a favor to autograph items. This is especially true if you happen upon a player in a venue other than the ice rink.
