Have a little hockey for ya.
When I was a kid, I played with my squirt team during an intermission on the Florida Panthers' home ice at the old Miami Arena. I fell flat on my ass my first step onto the ice. When I opened my eyes, I had 16,000 people laughing at what they just saw. Woo...
Tonight though, during the Detroit Red Wings' game against the Vancouver Canucks, a squirt snuck back onto the ice just before the period-opening faceoff and went for a few casual laps around the rink. The players and referees were all set up to drop the puck. Instead of being just downright rude and scarring the squirt for life, they encouraged him with stick-taps, board-taps, and smiles while the crowd cheered. Must have been the happiest kid ever. Freaking adorable.
Here's the video.
Best, Jonathan
