For the fifth time, Jets forward Mark Scheifele has come back to Winnipeg in the summer to help the next generation of hockey players grow their skills.

It may be the middle of June but hockey is on the minds of many Winnipeggers this weekend.

It's not too often that young hockey fans get to meet their heroes, but the Goals and Dreams event gave kids that opportunity on Monday.

A 'celebration of life' took place Monday at 3 p.m. for Cooper Nemeth. "Please remember Cooper in the way he lived and not the tragic, senseless way he died," Brent Nemeth, Cooper's dad said on Monday at the Calvary Temple. "Cooper, I will see you again one day. I'll bring my skates and we'll go to the ODR as the cold wind blows in our face. RIP our number one son."

Winnipeg Jets centre and Team Canada member Mark Scheifele surprised a lucky group of kids Monday evening.
