Any sport is incomplete without the loud cheering and love of fans. While some fans develop a liking for the sport, others fall deeply in love with the players. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that some fans are just obsessed with players. So obsessed that the mere memory of the star can affect their mood. A similar obsession for NHL goalkeeper Carey Price was recently seen. However, this time the player reciprocated the love for his fan. 

A recent video call of the Montreal Canadien’s goaltender is becoming a matter of discussion across different platforms. The Facebook post by Hockey Night in Canada revealed that the call was not just an ordinary fan interaction. The goaltender was seen talking to a die-heart fan, a woman who was a cancer patient.
