Golden Knights grant wish for young fan and then surprise him with a trip to Disney World



The Vegas Golden Knights haven’t been around very long, but they’ve done a very good job putting together a pretty loyal fan base less than half way through their inaugural season.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Golden Knights granted a wish for an 8-year-old fan named Gavin Prince through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and it was a very eventful day for both sides involved.

Gavin was given his very own custom stall in the team’s locker room and was placed in between Marc-Andre Fleury and Jon Merrill.



We haven't see neighbors get along this well since Tim Allen and Wilson, either❤️ https://t.co/w5eCZLU3Z4 — Vegas Golden Knights (@GoldenKnights) December 19, 2017

Aside from getting his own stall in the team’s locker room, the young Golden Knights fan also received quite a bit of swag from the team, and even got to interact with the players ahead of their daily practice.





Passing the ball around with some NHL players and watching the team’s practice from the bench is already an unbelievable experience, but the Golden Knights added to his day by having Chance the mascot surprise him with a trip to Disney World in the middle of the team’s practice.

We love seeing athletes and franchises step up like this to help turn a dream into reality.
