Alyx first made headlines last year when she appeared on the Jumbotron during a Jets game with a sign proclaiming her love for the team.
She was diagnosed with cancer in July 2014 when she was six years old, undergoing chemotherapy in Winnipeg for more than two years.
Alyx stole the hearts of many fans and athletes, even stopping the hockey game for a brief time as players from the Jets and Dallas Stars applauded her by banging their sticks on the ice.
