Let's quickly recall this story that went viral last night: we learned that the young man who had the chance to meet Nick Suzuki on Saturday in Toronto, as you can see a little in the following video:
Well the young fan in question, as well as his family, had to leave the Maple Leafs arena.
Why did they have to leave?
As you know, Nick Suzuki interrupted his warm-up on Saturday before the game against the Maple Leafs in Toronto to take a few minutes to give a young fan a magical and memorable moment.
Suzuki went into the stands to meet the young fan, chat with him and give him a few unique gifts: a stick, a picture and an autograph.
It's the stick that's at issue here:
"Thanks Nick for taking a selfie and making sure Hunter was okay after he didn't catch the puck you threw at him. He loves the stick, the autograph and the puck...and his swollen lips haha! A memory that will last a lifetime. We had to leave before the game because the stick was not allowed in the arena." - Steven Beauparlant
The father was asked by a subscriber, "did they really force you to leave the arena?"
And he replied this:
"Yes, it was a little rough, they said it was considered a weapon. The poor kid had a broken lip and didn't want to lose his stick so we went back to the hotel." - Steven Beauparlant
So the young man, because he didn't want to give up his precious stick donated by Nick Suzuki (and understandably so), had to leave the arena and he couldn't even attend the game.
We knew that the organization was looking for a solution, and well, it has officially responded:
Hello, we are happy to hear that Hunter is doing well! Our friends @TricoloreSports would love to send him a Nick Suzuki jersey! Could you please open your direct messages so we can get your contact info?
Nice move by the CH and a classier move than Toronto, for sure!
