The Blackhawks’ “What’s Your Goal” videos featuring players granting the wishes of young fans have melted the coldest of hearts, and the latest is no exception.
The most recent edition finds Corey Crawford visiting two young boys, 8-year-old Ben Munsie and his brother Alex, 11, and their babysitter Emilie Kopija in Westmont. Ben suffers from cerebral palsy with right side hemiplegia and epilepsy, conditions that make it difficult for him to use his arms and legs.
Crawford greets the boys while they’re playing in their basement, and the goaltender invites them to play hockey in their driveway. Of course, the surprises don’t end there. Before long Hawks forwards Andrew Shaw and Teuvo Teravainen join the game, with Shaw engaging in some friendly trash talk. The day ends with Crawford and Emilie making mac ‘n’ cheese for the group.
Good luck not tearing up when you watch
