Friendly Flames score new 7-year-old fan during trip to China
https://www.nhl.com/news/calgary-sco...na/c-300446422
Quote:
Gregory Shiu thought a hockey camp with Wayne Gretzky was going to be his highlight of the NHL's visit to China until a chance encounter with the Calgary Flames solidified his dream to be the first Chinese-born NHL player.
Shiu, 7, was so overwhelmed by the kindness of, "Captain Mark G, goalie Mike, Johnny Hockey, Curtis, Elias and Mr. Chuck who is (No.) 19 like me," he hand wrote a letter to the league to express how thankful he was to meet Flames Mark Giordano, Mike Smith, Johnny Gaudreau, Curtis Lazar, Elias Lindholm and Matthew Tkachuk.
Gregory attended a youth clinic with Gretzky and stayed in a hotel with his dad Jeffrey before attending the game between the Flames and Boston Bruins in Shenzhen the next day. They had no idea the Flames were staying in the same place until they saw them in the hotel restaurant.

I am also a fan of Mr Chuck.

Gregory was a little shy about approaching the players because he was wearing a Ducks shirt.
