Guess who did I meet here?

It started in Colorado when me, Czechs and one our American friend were there for the fall break. We met there the cousin of our American friends. And he just couldn't stop buying us drinks in Rock Cafe in Denver, capital of Colorado. No matter that famous Rock Cafe is one of the most expensive bar chains in the US... However, the bar wasn't our last destination this day, we were supposed to go to a NHL game. So after couple drinks we decided that at this game we have to meet some Czech players and get signature from them. Hmm, kind of difficult goal, but you don't think about that when you are little tipsy ;)
In the huge stadium played this day home team Colorado Avalanche with Chicago Blackhawks.

And a lot of Czech players, like Havlat and Hejduk. Everything was going well. We even got to better seats very close to ice (some tricks for passing through bodyguards aren't difficult ;)) so we saw everything.



We saw the Czech players, but we still didn't get their signatures. So our second mission (impossible?) started... After trying to get to their changing room, or team bus, for what the bodyguards weren't very happy we got strategic place by the parking place and the road where the players were leaving in their cars. We met other hockey fans who learnt us the art of getting the signature and the picture of players. Some players even stop by us and gave us the signature, but still no Czechs players...
However, finally the guy who we waited for appeared... Miland Hejduk, the star of Colorado team was coming to parking place. So, finally we succeeded and talked to Hejduk! Nice guy. He gave us the signature and here is the proof that we really met him:

Are you curious who we met next? Who is the worldwide know person (or persons?) who we met in New York last Christmas? Try to guess... Stay tuned and check the solution tomorrow here!
