Grayson Boe has spent the last several days immersed in what many fellow youth 91裸聊视频� and adults 91裸聊视频� would describe as a dream come true.
The 10-year-old from Edmonton, Alta., has been visiting Vancouver with his parents, Charlene and Trevor, to watch Team Canada make a run at world junior champions.
But along the way, as the team of young men fought to win each game, Grayson had his own personal mission: collect as many pucks from the players on ice as possible.
Grayson told Black Press Media his plan for pucks originated last year during the 41st world juniors in Montreal. But no matter how hard he tried to get the players91裸聊视频� attention, the pucks weren91裸聊视频檛 being thrown in his direction.
91裸聊视频淢y parents started making signs up and my dad said, 91裸聊视频榃hat if we made it in their language?91裸聊视频� So my mom Googled how to write 91裸聊视频楶uck Please91裸聊视频� in the different languages,91裸聊视频� he said.
HEARTBREAK AT HOME:
At the time, they didn91裸聊视频檛 have poster paper so the trio wrote the messages on the back of their printed tickets. By the end of the tournament, Grayson had collected 14 pucks.
During this year91裸聊视频檚 championship in Vancouver and Victoria, Grayson came prepared. With a dozen poster boards, each with a message translated in French, German, Danish and others, Grayson has managed to collect 24 pucks.
91裸聊视频淭he last game I asked for one from Alexis Lafreni猫re and he tossed me one,91裸聊视频� Grayson said. 91裸聊视频淭he other games I asked for one by my signs from Maxime Comtois and Owen Tippett and they also tossed me one.91裸聊视频�
Out of all the Vancouver-based matches, the only team Grayson couldn91裸聊视频檛 grab a puck from was Team USA.
91裸聊视频淚 was really hoping Sweden would be in Vancouver so I could get a puck from them,91裸聊视频� he added.
So what91裸聊视频檚 a kid to do with 40 junior championship pucks? The Boe family will be building a special cabinet for each one to be on display.
91裸聊视频淎nd this time we know which puck is from what player as my mom wrote on each puck with white tape the puck [number], who it91裸聊视频檚 from and what game.91裸聊视频�
