Zetterberg Endorses
Zetterbergfan.com
“Hey! This is my
website!” That is what Henrik Zetterberg exclaimed when handed a
color copy of zetterbergfan.com’s homepage to autograph.
The Deroit Redwings
sophomore center was doing an autograph signing at The Sports Stop in
Fenton, MI on Saturday, February 28th, 2004.
Unable to attend due
to being stationed in Hawaii, I contacted fellow members at Redwingsworld.com and put
out a request for someone to obtain the autograph for me.
Dara Pirtle (a.k.a.
“Lady In Red”), a member at Redwings, World volunteered to
help. Dara explained to
Henrik that I was a big fan and unable to come myself because I am
in the Navy.
Zetterberg already
knew of the website and was reportedly excited when he saw the
printed page. He thought it was really cool according to another
fans account of the signing.
Zetterberg’s first
hand knowledge and appreciation of the fan site became known when
Edmund Chu, the President of
Ramp Management ( a Toronto based marketing company that
created henrikzetterberg.com,
Henrik’s official website) contacted me in early February to
compliment my site. “I just like your content from a fan’s
perspective and so does Henrik”, stated Mr. Chu. I have contacted
the writer for the official site and inquired about possibly doing
an interview with Zetterberg in the future. 
Hank’s appreciation of
Zetterbergfan.com was confirmed a few days after the autograph
signing when a local media member asked him about it at practice.
Zetterberg said he liked the site, that I had a lot of stuff on it,
and that I was doing a good job. That’s pretty high praise from
someone who is not very talkative.
Obviously, this is
very exciting for me!
I wanted to share the
story with Henrik’s fans and to let you know that he is very humble,
friendly, and grateful for his fans. Thank you very much, Henrik,
for the autograph and your appreciation of this website. I
appreciate what you do for the Redwings on the ice and respect your
professionalism and dedication to the fans. I hope to someday meet
you myself but until then I want to wish you the best of luck this
season and for your career in Detroit.
