Finland Trip: Day Nine

7 May, 1997

	This was the mural on the side of the bus waiting to take the players off to the hotel. The students were ushered into a secure area where the buses were parked and not open to the public. Here they waited for the team.
Shawn Burke arrives with the rest of the team and spends a good amount of time signing his Canadian supporters hats and shirts. He then offered to stand in with students while they had their pictures taken. One of several class players in the NHL.
	Shawn's co-players on the Canadian World Hockey Team join in and sign some autographs for the fellows who came so far to see the game.
Pat Quin (at the time,Vancouver-Cannuk's Manager) gets a little advice from one of our guys. "Cheerleaders in the stands you say???? ....... Not a bad idea !!!"
	And even with his team losing the game to Canada, Luma still has the class to sign the autographs for the fellow who approached him on the way to his team bus. This is the type of interaction that brings young fellows to the game.
