It was a memorable day for one Winnipeg Jets fan after rookie star, Patrick Laine decided to make a birthday wish come true.
On Dec. 25, eight-year-old Lucas Bydak sent a personal letter to Laine, wishing the Finnish player a Merry Christmas as well as inviting him to his eighth birthday party.
Lucas’ uncle then tweeted out the letter, saying it was “worth a shot.”
And Laine decided to listen.
