Every young hockey fan dreams of having their own hockey card when they grow up.
Sporting trading cards producer Upper Deck, the Edmonton Oilers and their captain Connor McDavid made that dream come true for one young Oilers super fan.
Ben Stelter is a 5-year-old Oilers fan with brain cancer, and his story has taken the entire hockey world over and now, he is now on an official Upper Deck hockey card. McDavid presented Ben with the card yesterday afternoon.
Check out the video below:
Ever since Ben made his first appearance with Edmonton when he got to stand with the team for the national anthems, the Oilers have completely taken the youngster under their wing and have found tremendous success with their new good luck charm.
After last night's overtime win over the San Jose Sharks, the Oilers are now 9-0-0 at home in Rogers Place with Ben in attendance.
Such an inspirational story!
