Spending several season with the Carolina Hurricanes meant defenceman Haydn Fleury had earned himself some fans in and around Raleigh. Unfortunately, fo one of them, there was a lot of disappointment on Sunday as Fleury's current team, the Seattle Kraken, came to town but Fleury was a healthy scratch.

The tweet caught Fleury's attention, and he reached out via the social networking site.

Fleury did find the young man and gave him a stick and posed for a photo with him.
A best friends update!! @fleury96 came to find him and brought him a stick!! @SandyFleury and @JohnFleury3 I hope you know how amazing your son is. Haydn you are the best! There isn't anyone I'd rather he look up to and he will never have a better friend! Love you kid! pic.twitter.com/g8FKDiCMhy— Corrie _/.\_ (@PlndrBunny) March 7, 2022
Needless to say, the young fan was pretty pumped. Great job, Haydn!
Y'all drained the battery on my phone with all of your love! Thanks for sharing in his joy at getting to see his favorite person in the world for the first time in two years! As is tradition, our victory selfie that celebrates multiple victories tonight! pic.twitter.com/1s3zgZsWDJ— Corrie _/.\_ (@PlndrBunny) March 7, 2022
