An NHL hockey player stubbornly tried to give a little girl a puck. It turned out the third time

On Friday in the US capital, the local NHL team "Washington Capitals" led by Alexander Ovechkin played the second match of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Columbus Blue Jackets. During the warm—up, the home team's striker Brett Connolly noticed a young fan - a little girl with blonde hair, who was rooting for her favorite team with all the sincerity and spontaneity of a child. And then the hockey player decided to please the baby. However, he did not succeed right away.

The hockey player drove closer and threw the puck through the protective glass. However, the cheerleader could not catch her, as she was smaller than the boys standing next to her.

It was obvious how upset she was.

But they take stubborn guys to hockey, and Connolly didn't give up. He drove up a second time to the place where the girl was standing, hit the glass with a stick, showing that he was throwing it to her, and threw the puck a second time. But another fan caught her and handed her over, apparently, to his son.

Connolly tapped on the glass, clearly disapproving of such an act. Then the hockey player took the third puck, which finally landed in the hands of a young cheerleader, whose happiness had no limit.

We're sure her reaction paid off all Brett Connolly's efforts.
