Tony Granato

Tony Granato is a former hockey player that played for the Rangers, Kings & Sharks in the NHL.  He played a total of 774 games over 13 seasons. Tony scored 248 goals and added 244 assists for a point total of 492.

Tony made his only All Star Game appearance in the 1996-97 season. He also won the Bill Masterton Trophy that same year. 

After his playing career, Tony went on to coach the Colorado Avalanche. He is currently an assistant coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

I mailed out 3 cards to Tony on April 29, 2008. I received the cards back today 5/30/2014. That makes it the longest return I have ever had. It took a total of 6 years, 1 month and 2 days or 2,223 days. Not that I am complaining, just amazed at the length of time. I am guessing that Tony found it in a box he never unpacked until he moved to Pittsburgh. At the top right are 2/3 cards he signed.
