In 2008 my friend Zack and myself drove to South Bend from Minneapolis. We’re both from Montana and he went to college there. NAIA level I believe his college was. Anyway long story short, we got to South Bend the week of St. Patrick's Day, went to Corby’s and in walks Tommy Z! I was a few drinks in and got the courage to go up and ask for an autograph. I was wearing my grey nd sweatshirt and he had no problem signing it. I don’t really follow hockey but apparently nd had a great player that year in Christian Hanson so I let him sign my sweatshirt as well🤷♂️. Funny part is I had Tom sign it 3 different times. He was a little annoyed but obliged. My friend Zack got shit faced and I called him a cab and I went and partied with Tom at his house and I can proudly say I beat him and his friend at beer pong with some guy who said he’d be my teammate. Then he gave me a ride back to my hotel. Super nice guy and the last thing I said to him was thanks for the ride and I hope you get drafted by the Cowboys. He replied fuck, I hope not. I apologize saying long story short and still wrote 20 more lines, just a great story. One of my all time favorite players.
