Canadiens player's son adorably recognizing his dad on TV goes viral (VIDEO)

The Montreal Canadiens beat the Florida Panthers 5-4 on Thursday night at the Bell Centre but it was Jeff Petry’s son who stole the show at the family home in Candiac.

While captioning, “First daddy sighting of the year!” on Twitter, Julie Petry posted an adorable video of her son Boyd recognizing her defenceman dad on TV during the game’s national anthem.

(He’s also a decent little anthem singer.)
