Sports franchises have been teaming up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a very long time and every year we see a lot of Make-A-Wish recipients get the chance to live out one of their dreams.

Friday was just a practice day for the San Jose Sharks, but it wasn’t like any other practice. Not only was it team picture day, but they had a new face on the ice with them thanks to the help from Make-A-Wish Bay Area and the Sharks Care Foundation.



Meet Selena Urban. She's a 16-year-old renal transplant patient and a HUGE #SJSharks fan. Her one wish is to meet the team.



With the help of @SharksCare and @SFWish, we're making that happen (along with a few other surprises)! pic.twitter.com/pnjmscjJrF — San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) March 6, 2020

16-year-old Selena Urban is a renal transplant patient and a huge Sharks fan. Her one wish was to meet the Sharks players, but it turned into so much more.



Selena probably thought she was just getting the chance to meet Joe Thornton, but the veteran ended up surprising her and invited her to be in the team photo with the rest of the guys.



After practice, Selena got another surprise from Thornton, who had some gifts ready to go, and she even got a chance to take a ride on the Zamboni.



Selena will also be the Sharks’ special guest at their home game against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.
