Grab a tissue, because this is a sports story that will tug on your heartstrings.
Forward Ryan Donato has become part of the inaugural Seattle Kraken team’s core, scoring the franchise’s first-ever goal and more recently, scoring the game-tying goal, along with the first shootout goal, in the Kraken’s win over the Chicago Blackhawks last night.
There were some special guests in last night’s audience, as Emily Cave, the widow of the late Colby Cave, was watching Donato in the stands with a friend. Colby had been teammates with Donato on the Boston Bruins during the 2017-18 season.
