Nicklas Backstrom might be the star on the ice but his son became the star of the arena on Sunday. Backstrom’s son, Vince, accompanied him to the Captials’ Youth hockey day. The father-son shared the most heartwarming moment, which left viewers cooing over the two.

Keeping up with the tradition, every player was accompanied by a child. Some brought their kids, whereas others were accompanied by kids from the local youth hockey organizations. While all the pairs were equally adorable, the Backstrom duo became the highlight of the night. Not only did little Vince accompany his father to the game, but he also gave his first-ever professional interview.

Nicklas Backstrom and Vince Backstrom stole the show

On 12th February 2023, the Swedish Ice hockey champion and his son, Nicklas, stole the heart of millions. The first instance was when Vince and his dad entered the arena. Sharing a clip of the moment on their official Twitter handle, NBC Capitals wrote, “Backstrom arrives with son Vince ahead of today’s Youth Hockey Day game! 😍”

However, that wasn’t the part that everyone was talking about. It was when the duo shared a long hug before the player went in to change, that stole hearts. The clip undoubtedly went viral when Washington Capitals posted it.
