There’s nothing like heading to the big game to see your favorite team play!
And somehow, it’s even better when you’re a kid, and you’re seeing everything from the fans to the stadium to the opposing team with fresh eyes, like this little munchkin attending her very first game!
But for 8-year-old Trey Dopson, the real highlight of the game came well after he settled into his seat, but it didn’t arrive without some controversy first.
Trey was in the stands at a hockey game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres when— demonstrating a similar knack for the game as this smooth operator — he noticed an opportunity to be a part of the game!
The coach of the Buffalos had spotted the enthusiastic young fan in the stands and was getting ready to gift him with a puck — the cherished trophy of any fan in the stands of a hockey game.
But at the very last moment, another fan — an adult man — decides to make a move for the puck as well. Needless to say, the rest of the crowd took notice of the incident, as did fans watching the game at home. As outraged crowds do these days, they took to Twitter, quickly capturing the attention of both teams.
While they may have been in competition on the ice, they united for their new cause — Trey Dopson. Check out the video below to see how they made it up to him, and his adorable response!
