Brad Hunt had a special friend visit him last week, though he was hoping to keep the visit private.
The Golden Knights defenseman reconnected with Chase Buell, who Hunt met five years ago when he was playing minor league hockey in Oklahoma City. Buell, 10, has Down syndrome. He can’t communicate verbally. But Hunt said the two get along just fine.
