Make-A-Wish recipient Luca Bear Bish, 6, celebrated his remission from leukemia by signing a one-day deal with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Bish, of San Diego, will be a special guest at Friday night’s home game against the Arizona Coyotes.
“He’s an inspiration not only to our players and the organization but everyone that hears his story,” Davidson said. Added Richardson: “To see the guys come when I blew the whistle to introduce Luca on the bench, everybody just lights up and sees a young fan watching the guys and what they do and pays attention at a young age like this, it’s an inspirational thing for the guys.”
Kane, Bish’s favorite player, gave him some pointers during practice but took some lessons himself from the experience. “Especially with what’s been going on in the sports world in the last week or so with Damar Hamlin and thinking about him and the world in general and obviously people are a lot less fortunate than we are, so it’s nice to have Luca come out here today and join us for the skate,” Kane said. “It was a great moment.”“I have a little boy and he’s 2 years old, so he’s starting to get into things like playing hockey and sports and running around. That’s the best part of life.
