So this year i wrote to just about every Devils player sending cards and requesting autographs throughout the season. I never received anything back untill this weekend, every card sent back unsigned and the team sent me several fan packs.

I did write to former Devils as well and had some really nice returns (Gomez, Rafalski, etc.).

Is there some kind of agreement with card companies preventing players from signing cards on their current teams, or do some teams just not let their players sign fanmail?

Players are much better signers IP than they are TTM from what I have noticed...I haven't had success with many active NHL players, but some teams have open practices that you can attend and graph after/before.

Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver are the better TTM teams for active players. There has not many returns from NJ in years.

 

[rangersfan1982]

siksyko would know, he has sent to every player that's ever played in Canada

There are several teams that don't forward mail to players, the Devils are one along with the Rangers and Flyers...

ok, i wonder why that is...seems like it would be good pr for any club.

plenty of requests get returned from the Skate Zone (Flyers)

Correct - don't send to arena for the Flyers. The Avalanche from what I've seen are hit-n-miss, guessing teams don't want to be "bothered" with mail. Let me know if you want any alternate addresses i.e. practice rinks...

does the practice rink for the devils accept fan mail? if yes i would love the address.

Sorry for the bad news, the practice rink shares the same address as the arena...
