The Montreal Canadiens and Florida Panthers are getting ready for a preseason game in the community of Renous, New Brunswick, but Habs' assistant captain Brendan Gallagher took the time help give a fan a huge surprise ahead of the game.
Eric was diagnosed at the age of four with autism spectrum disorder. For his birthday, Gallagher sent the young man a personalized video, tickets to the Hockeyville game in Renous, as well as some Habs merch. The goods were delivered by Canadiens mascot Youppi!.
The Hockeyville game will take place September 18th, and also includes NHL player and alumni visits, hockey clinics, and a pregame fan festival.
