All 7-year-old Jack Foley wanted was a goalie stick. The Islanders’ Robin Lehner was happy to oblige the Franklin Square youth, who survived three open heart surgeries before he was 2, on Monday night at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.
Foley’s mother, Lauren Kiefer-Foley posted a picture of her son on Twitter on Sunday holding a list with hockey stick checkmarks next to, “Survive 3 Open Heart Surgeries,” and “Defy The Odds & Play Ice Hockey,” and with a third box empty next to “Receive A Stick From Robin Lehner.”
Lehner responded quickly via his Twitter account, “100%” with a heart emoji.
