Victor Hedman is one of the world’s best hockey players.
But he always has time for supporters.
Now he has given a football team a memory for life.
Victor Hedman is coming off another brilliant season, where he really cemented his place among the world’s absolute best players. Before the winter, Hedman had won two straight Stanley Cups, and it was not very far from a sensational third straight win.
Hedman’s nice gesture
However, Hedman had to settle for a finals berth as the Colorado Avalanche won the title, but Hedman still has a lot to be happy about. He was once again one of the absolute best players of the playoffs, and he was once again rewarded with a nomination for the Norris Trophy, the award for the best defender of the year. Now a new season is approaching, and Hedman is in full preparation.
But he also has time for little else. Like creating memories for an entire soccer team, for example. It is the journalist Joe Smith who writes on Twitter that a hockey team, where the oldest player was 12 years old, was on the ice during a training session when they were suddenly joined by two of the world’s best hockey players.
“Many smiles”
All of a sudden, Victor Hedman appeared, with laced skates on, together with goalie star Andrei Vasilevskiy. Victor Hedman took part in some drills, but perhaps the biggest joy for the kids was putting penalties on Vasilevskiy, where, according to reports, he may not have been at his best, and thus a lot of goals were scored.
According to Joe Smith, it was a day to remember for the children.
“They had as much fun as they could. It brought many smiles,” he writes.
You just have to love sports stars who take the time to realize some dreams, and create some memories, for the stars of the future. Respect!
