Deryk Engelland: Hey Santa I know you’re a busy man this time of year. But I was wondering if it would be alright for Rick Ball to stop mentioning how I was 27 when I played in my first NHL game. The fans get it, Rick. They know. It’s enough. Also would it be alright if he could stop mentioning how I played in my 400th NHL game? It’s been weeks. Thanks Santa.

Chad Johnson: Hi Santa, first I’d like to thank you for bringing me to Calgary. It’s not all the time that people get to play for the team they grew up cheering for. Secondly, I know I’ve been doing really well lately, but the last few games, I’ve sort of let my team down. Maybe in the new year, we can bring back the way I played in November? Maybe a few more shutouts too. Then I could be the true hometown hero.

Troy Brouwer: Hey Santa, so I know some people are saying the Calgary Flames made a mistake when they first signed me, since I’m not exactly putting up a bunch of points. Can you help me rack up more points please? I really like playing with Monahan and I’d like to continue playing with him.

Alex Chiasson: Hi Santa, I know this is a small request. But people keep pronouncing my name differently. Sometimes it’s like chase-on, so I decided to just stick with that. Maybe in the new year people can spell French last names a little better.

Brett Kulak: Hey Santa, I’ve been sent down recently. Can I get called back up please? I love playing in the NHL.
