A Pennsylvania woman celebrating her 104th birthday last week was moved to tears when Flyers legend Bob "The Hound" Kelly surprised her and allowed her to wear his Stanley Cup ring.

The power of the Stanley Cup – and even a Stanley Cup championship ring – is such that it can bring to tears people of all ages and from all walks of life. A recent example was seen at a retirement residence in Upper Moreland, Pa., last Wednesday, when a visit from a Philadelphia Flyers legend overwhelmed a hockey fan celebrating her 104th birthday.

The woman who was celebrating, Helen Moser – described by her grandson as a longtime, diehard Flyers fan – was enjoying her birthday festivities at the Wesley Enhanced Living retirement community when Flyers icon Bob “The Hound” Kelly stopped in bearing a cake and a team jersey with her surname and age on the back. The joy on Moser’s face was clear from the moment he walked in, but when Kelly took off his Cup ring and placed it on her finger, she was overcome with emotion.

If you can watch Moser tear up without getting a little wet in the eyes yourself, you probably want to have your eyes checked. Kudos to Kelly and the Flyers for making one of their fans feel so special.
