Fans have been bringing signs to sporting events for a very long time, but over the past few years we’ve seen young fans use these signs as a way to get a puck or a stick from their favourite player or someone on their favourite team.

On Thursday night the Washington Capitals paid a visit to the Carolina Hurricanes and there were plenty of traveling Caps fans in attendance for the game. During the pre-game skate, plenty of those fans made their way down to the glass to watch their guys warm-up and there was one fan who caught the eyes of some of the players through their game day sign.



Dealing with cancer and having to go through chemotherapy is a terrifying thing, but this Capitals fan isn’t letting it stand in their way. Not only did Jakub Vrana give the young fan a stick, but so did Tom Wilson just moments before.

You’re not going to find a bigger Capitals fan than that youngster, that’s for sure.
