Carey Price may not have taken home any awards at this year’s NHL Awards, but he delivered one of the most memorable moments nonetheless.
Way back in February, Carey Price went viral for the emotional moment he shared with superfan Anderson Whitehead. Anderson lost his mother to cancer, but before she passed she promised that the two would meet paths. Fulfilling her dying wish, Price and Whitehead shared this tear-jerking moment.
On Wednesday, we saw the emotional moment all but recreated. Anderson was invited up on stage in acknowledgement of his late mother and his resilient fandom. There waiting was a message from his hero Carey Price. Turns out, it was more than just a message.
If you don’t feel all kinds of emotions from this, just hit your power down button you ROBOT.
Between that and Robin Lehner’s emotional acceptance speech, it was certainly an inspiring night at the NHL Awards.
