Amidst nervy, anxious times surrounding team on the ice with a week remaining until NHL Trade Deadline, team makes a 15-year-old's dream come true of participating with them for a work day
ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues are surrounded by anxious times each and every day they step on the ice.
And with the NHL's Trade Deadline just a week away on March 8, those times tend to be nervy and up the ante on those an anxious moments not knowing if players are going to be coming or going.
But on Friday, those moments took aback seat to 15-year-old Ronan Moore, a Make-A-Wish fan that battled Leukemia, who got to spend the morning and participate with the Blues during their daily practice activities, including on-ice drills and team meetings; he signed a one-day contract.
"It was nice to have to have Ronan here, have him around the dressing room, bring him into the meetings and meet the guys and have him out on the ice," Blues interim coach Drew Bannister said. 'It was nice to have him here today."
Moore, who at different times wore a Jordan Kyrou jersey and a Brayden Schenn jersey, was joined by his parents, Robert and Aimee for the day. He got to partake in drills at the end of practice, including working with Schenn on the ice.
