I so enjoyed meeting our number 1 fan last night — such a brave young kid — and a gifted hockey player to boot. His parents are such warm and supportive and wonderful folks; all of our partners loved hanging out with them during the game in the owners box.
Feel blessed every day — enjoy your life — this young man is an inspiration to us all; Go Caps. Rocking the hawk! Click here to see the video.

Saw this video this morning. What an amazing kiddo! Such a great zest for life, even when things seem to be so difficult for him. Definitely an inspiration. I’m sure he really enjoyed last night!
While there are many things you are able to do that could inspire jealousy, this is the first time I have actually felt envious of you. I can’t imagine anything better than making a little boy’s dream come true. The smile he had plastered on his face and the awe in his eyes throughout the video forced me to re-watch multiple times. I also loved the respect that both you and players treated him with, no one talked down to him but instead shook his hand and engaged with him on a real level.
Wow - thanks so much for sharing this.. I can’t imagine going thru life & not being able to eat proteins!!
Mr. Leonsis:
Words can’t express our deepest & heartfelt thanks to you and the entire Capitals organization. You have given our little guy a precious memory he will never forget! He is still smiling! Thank you for being such a “CLASS ORGANIZATION”!
GO CAPS!

Thank you again for inviting our Kiddo to the owner’s box. He had a wonderful time, especially getting to meet the players. It was an evening we will never forget!
Ted, a big thanks to you and the Caps for Saturday night. That Kiddo just keeps on enduring with a grin. I’m proud to say he’s one of my heroes.
Rock the Red!
I had to watch the video after his dad told me about it and I know that made Kiddo’s day! Good to see him rocking the hawk and in such good spirits.
