The Edmonton Oilers may have made this kid’s day, but surely enough, he made theirs. The Oilers signed Kohen Flett, an 8-year-old boy battling a brain tumor, to a contract, making him an honorary player for the day.
Flett has been through 70 rounds of chemotherapy and has been battling cancer since he was 15 months old. He plays for the High Prairie Revolution, and today, his dream came true when he got to suit up for practice with the Edmonton Oilers.
Todd McLellan introduced the young player to the entire team in their dressing room.
