Cute kid mimics Markstrom's every move at Canucks practice (VIDEO)
Jacob Markstrom has no shortage of fans these days.
Named to his first-ever NHL All-Star Game last week, Markstrom is playing the best hockey of his career. With a 15-11-3 record and a .919 save percentage, the 6-foot-6 Swedish netminder has arguably been the Vancouver Canucks’ MVP this season.
One of Markstrom’s biggest fans showed up to practice in Tampa Bay on Tuesday. A young fan got to say hello to Markstrom before he hit the ice, with the Canucks goalie asking the kid: “You ready for practice?”
Boy was he ever. The youngster, decked out in a Markstrom jersey, complete with a goalie mask, stick, glove, and blocker, followed his hockey hero closely from the stands.
And I meanĀ followed. The young fan mimicked Markstrom’s every move from behind the net, providing quite easily the most adorable moment of the season so far.
