The Detroit Red Wings beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-4 on Saturday night, but it was one of the team’s smallest fans who really stole the show.
During a break in the action, the Red Wings showed fans in the crowd up on the scoreboard. One of those fans was a ridiculously cute kid who was beyond excited to hear the crowd cheering. As the scoreboard moved on to show other fans, the crowd booed louder and louder until everyone’s favorite kid was brought back up on the screen.
The fans are hilarious, but it’s this child’s reaction as the cheers grow louder that really makes this a special video.
Following the game, the Red Wings named a special Honorary First Star of the Game:
There’s two guaranteed ways to get a crowd to cheer at a sporting event – the home team performing well and adorable little kids.
