Gaudreau set to star in Stampede parade
Johnny Gaudreau is officially a Calgarian.
The tell-tale sign?
The Calgary Flames winger now owns cowboy boots — an essential wardrobe item for the 10 days of the Calgary Stampede and sensible footwear for riding horses, specifically down 9th Ave. SW.
“I’ve got a hat and shirt and stuff, but they told me to go get some boots,” Gaudreau said with a chuckle, following a summertime skating session at WinSport’s facilities Thursday. “I was just going to wear my regular shoes.
“But the guys have been giving me a hard time, telling me not to wear them.”
It’s a veteran move, which, by now, should come as no surprise.
