The young fan managed to catch the puck swiftly, with the camera zooming in on her. She then proceeded to grasp the gravity of the moment, shortly before tearing up. This event happened during the landmark ‘Hockey Fights Cancer Game’, an initiative by NHL. 

Joining hands with the V Foundation of Cancer Research, the event “unites the hockey community in support of cancer patient and their families.” NHL, along with the players from different teams, coaches, office staff, and corporate fans have pledged to fund “game-changing research” with the goal of improving the different treatment options available, and also towards medications and treatments that could potentially cure cancer.

Several users wrote “Is someone slicing onions here?” indicating that they were also reduced to tears by Charlie’s gesture. 

Several Bruins fans also came in solidarity, supporting this wonderful cause, with messages like “Bruins are literally the best team”, and “Absolutely awesome”.
