Canadiens goalie Carey Price had an incredibly emotional moment off the ice on Thursday. The All-Star netminder met a young fan whose mother, who died of cancer, promised him she would help him met Price. The young man idolizes Price, and it showed when they had their emotional meeting.
The video speaks for itself.
Before doing anything, Price shedding his pads is an incredibly powerful gesture. When he goes in to hug him, the kid is overcome, and Price eventually asks the kid if he wants to have his jersey signed.
It's a small moment, but it says a lot about Price. You can tell he genuinely feels for the kid, and that goes a long way.
