It’s common for players to give pucks to fans before a game, but a young Penguins fan received a lifetime memory Thursday.
Before Pittsburgh’s dominant win over the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre, Sidney Crosby tossed over a puck to a fan. Penguins social media caught the moment when the father handed the puck to his kid, who snatched it and was giddy with joy.
Fans couldn’t help but enjoy the adorable and wholesome moment seeing how excited the young fan was to get a puck from Crsoby. It was another example of the impact Crosby has every generation and why he’s the perfect ambassador of the game.
