However, his latest deed is bound the warm the hearts of hockey fans everywhere.

This is everything — this young fan, Anderson, met his idol @CP0031, after his mother passed away due to cancer. She had promised him that she would do everything in her power to help the two meet and it happened. This right here is hockey. #OurGreatGame

​​The 11-year-old fan, obviously going through a hard time in his life, got to meet an idol of his through the help of his aunt, Tammy Whitehead.





"Last year as Anderson's mom was dying of cancer she promised she would do everything she could to make his dream come true. Unfortunately, she passed away before that could happen but through some very kind and generous friends we were able to arrange a visit to the morning skate," Whitehead shared on her Facebook account.





According to Whitehead, Price gave the boy autographed equipment of his, but most importantly, a very big hug.





According to a fan, this isn't the first time Price has helped an individual in need.

My cousin’s good friend was battling Cancer a couple years ago and is a huge Carey Price fan. Carey Price heard her story and mailed her a card wishing her well and to kick cancer’s ass.



She did kick Cancer’s ass. Price is so classy, I respect this guy so much. — Becca (@_Tavares91) March 1, 2019

What a guy. This is the kind of stuff we love to see from athletes. Being able to separate themselves from the game is what elevates them.
