Make-A-Wish | Hunter Shrauger

Spend 48 hours with Make-A-Wish kid Hunter Shrauger as the Washington Capitals granted his wish of meeting Alex Ovechkin and a whole lot more.

[@christopherdraper5815]

Can we give this kid the best flow award?

[@zacharydoiron6195]

The national hockey league goes ABOVE and beyond for their communities. I don't care what team you love, or hate. At the end of the day, this league is incredible.

[@corystansbury]

Yeah, pretty much all of the teams and players are awesome.

[@bliasenasta490]

dude looks like a younger version of Carl Hagelin

[@Insider_]

I also thought about it :)

[@catherinearmenti7213]

True

[@Jacksonn70]

I thought the thumb nail was Carl haglien

[@wolverines3659]

Jackson I thought the same thing

[@Dkrides1]

bliase nasta yeah so true

[@minisam1988]

The Caps did an awesome job. Hats off to the org for that wish.

[@timebomb1979]

Ted Leonsis is a real class act! The Capitals never cease to amaze me. I've never had such a passion for a sports team before as I do for the Caps. Then they one up themselves and do this, and I'm speechless. This is beautiful and amazing, this video never gets old, keep it up guys!

[@Thesimple6ix]

This is why I love the sport of hockey

[@kreamykyle5350]

The Kid looks like he's got a Carl Hagelin look goin on!

[@AAA11546]

Ted Leonsis truly is a good guy. He doesnt have to do it, but he does bc he recognises the impact that he, his players & his organisation have on other individuals & families. Allowing Hunter to touch and lift the Stanley Cup with his Dad, and then also wearing Ted's extremely expensive Caps ring is just cute

[@pdubcentral]

I love this. I have suffered from ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease (worse version of colitis) for 8 years now, and watching hockey got me through some really dark times, 2 years with no hope, and times where I was sure I was going to die. In that stretch McDavid came here for a preseason game, he’s my favourite player, and I knew as I was watching it just added another year on my life, another year I would keep trying to get better, because I felt so alive that day. So happy for this young man, colitis and Crohn’s, for those who don’t know, are not physically life threatening, however they are life long, and the pain caused simply cannot be understood without experiencing it. Which is why I believe it IS life threatening mentally. To wake up, and spend every day in so much pain, you can barely walk, or get to a place like I did for two years where I didn’t leave my room. Which wasn’t living. This guy getting to see the games, up close, talk to all the players, in the dressing room, and talk to his favourite player idle, makes me really happy. This is a memory that is always gonna be there for his darkest days, to remind him how good life can be. He will need that and thus I wish they could do this more often for people Crohn’s and colitis, especially the young ones, I got it at 16 some are younger, and it’s an extreme test of will to live, and having this experience would be huge to anyone struggling to keep going. Thank you nhl, and the Washington capitals.

[@vanessadelight3964]

Way to go Caps from a Flyer fan....Hunter you are awesome

[@cpurday9681]

This was great. The Caps are a first class organization, and I'm happy for both Hunter, and for them with their Cup win. I'm glad Ovi has one now. - Signed a diehard Leafs fan

[@leaf8554]

Amazing stuff. I love make a wish and the capitals ❤️

[@flipper4472]

Campbell Kane i see toews in that pic

[@gvenchy2476]

This was really well done. Hunter seems like such a great genuine kid

[@alexd8123]

That's freaking awesome way to go CAPS

[@cjlawlor95]

I was a wish kid at his age having my wish to meet my favorite the Yankees. The MAW foundation across the country is a blessing to so many people including mine, I got a job opportunity out of my trip. Wishing you all the best Hunter, as a Tampa fan I commend the Caps on this one.

[@rustycuyler6026]

Great story! Surprised Wilson didn't try chokeslam the kid.

[@winston2831]

Will Farrell Wilson only fucks up douchebags

[@cartermurph9896]

Will Farrell lol

[@colleengibson4934]

Awesome fan love. He got to see the cup too. What a lifetime memory.

[@craigjohnson4792]

How can anyone even dislike this video most moving thing I’ve watching in a long time what a strong young lad and amazing what the capitals done for him and his family!!

[@leopursiainen2427]

This is amzazing

[@andyc9979]

You can sense how grateful he is. Very respectful. Got some skills too huh. I'm a sabres fan but I've noticed something about them that my team is missing and that's comorodity. They care for each other. It's like a family. So good in the community too. Absolutely love that. They take that seriously. Absolutely love ovie. Dude is a beast on the ice and great off the ice. Hope he breaks gretzkys record as much as I'm a huge 99 fan.

[@brianparent8901]

Finally a Make-A-Wish kid from Michigan. The kid is awesome. God Bless you, Hunter

[@malcolmcossar6447]

What a Great Video!Simply Class from the Caps!From the owner to all the players!Well Done!

[@kushkrazegaming]

Oilers fan saying well done capitals .

[@fakefaze5156]

Brendan Houde penguins fan saying the same thing

[@cynthiaverdoni1022]

Canucks fan also

[@pdubcentral]

Brendan Houde Tampa fan and someone who has lived and suffered through 3 years of ulcerative colitis, and another 5 with Crohn’s disease. People have no idea the mental battle to beat the physical pain. You have to be so strong, and have support, and very important you, NEED, days like this, because they remind you life can be good, in the days, weeks, months that life feels like hell. Hope to see this more often these kids really need this.

[@aceee3116]

Oilers fan too

[@samac_schnitzers3454]

Always proud to be a caps fan !

[@ewest7435]

[@comradalekss]

Amazing...its great))😀😁👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@madmanmike69]

Really cool for them to do this. I see a lot of athletes do this and they are all amazing, but something about NHL players. They just seem to be on another level. But to Make A Wish and all their athletes that do this, thank you.

[@catherinearmenti7213]

Soooooo cute

[@foreverrahustler]

[@jadechaput7548]

I'm so happy for him he deserved it and I'm happy that Make-A-Wish is able to do that for Hunter and the other kids thank you so much to the Washington Capitals

[@alexdinsdale2373]

Can we all agree this is the greatest charity ever.

[@derektripp988]

No way, my favorite teams are the Wings and the Caps!

[@ajvasta]

After watching this video and the TJ Oshie Make A Wish video back to back, it really seems TJ went above and beyond whatever the minimum commitment was required from the star.

[@LaurenOrion]

Okay but THAT FLOW

[@stevethebeav19]

[@andrewftw232]

I just graduated with him class of 2019

[@owenpence6283]

The only people who disliked this don't know what it means to fight

[@iknowyouresalty2521]

He didn't fight he sat in a fucking bed while doctors saved him

[@owenpence6283]

Yeah, but at least he had the courage to still be happy and not give his life up and be sad

[@judijarvis9804]

I know you're Salty ......you, obviously have never had to fight a serious illness......I’ve “been on both sides of the bed”: RN all my working life, and also spent time as a patient in hospital with serious illness, and major surgeries...... the fight is real!!

[@danmatasa6648]

“wilson: fun to watch” lol suspended

[@chaner2261]

He clearly played hockey before his incident

[@ericgilbert959]

I don’t cheer for the caps but this is awesome, dope flow hunter 👍

[@PapaG603]

[@nathanb1960]

Nice job from a pens fan but sill were still your daddy caps fans

[@happyclampopper]

Reason 349 Why hockey gods are good gods.

[@aidandomenick4177]

I am a penguins fan and I hate the caps and Tom Wilson but this is special

[@khynuts]

Aidan Domenick has to add the Wilson part 😂😂😂

[@fakefaze5156]

Totally agree with Wilson he is a dirty player

[@kennystorck4479]

Great kid greatest lettuce

[@zachbrown210]

Does anybody know if this practice rink is on the top level of a mall? Swear it looks so familiar

[@mcollett4615]

GO CAPS GO!!!

[@shannonsirovyak9297]

I may change my mind about Vancouver Lol

[@user-ob4ip6zk6h]

Самое обидное не вижу таких видео с КХЛ.

[@ALMASTERFUNK]

Stanley Cup hands down is the best looking trophy in sports.

[@Jeff-jm8nw]

Definitely not a caps fan but great job guys! Great video

[@juliahancock378]

cool

[@robertmason7553]

If you notice in hockey, its a whole family thing. Todd there to meet him, the whole team (remember Ovie is his favorite player), then the intimate convo with Wilson. Then Leonsis in the room. Enough said. I dont think its so much a Capital thing but a hockey thing. Im a Caps fan born in DC. I lve in Nebraska and will probably never make it back to DC. No reason to go. Hockey is a sport of humble men and sometimes kids. My Caps have set the standard of how teams appreciate the fans and LISTEN.

[@dalylazare7748]

Nice

[@eliashjelm2900]

Respekt❤️❤️

[@hockeynews5181]

I love ovechkin

[@DylanKickler.Visuals]

I’m a penguins fan and I hate the capitals but that was pretty cool

[@npicc6906]

Cool

[@davidfaiman212]

I’m a redwings fan too

[@stephenr5951]

first class

[@jadechaput7548]

He's got a good shot

[@edgarallanbroo]

Let’s go Caps

[@haileygreen7777]

I live in Michigan. Go Red Wings.

[@PFArecycling92]

Hockey guys are the best 👍

[@Faith-eu6nv]

Caps bring him back just so we can pair him up with Hags

[@nicotdm754]

am I aloud to have a wish after many surgeries since i was a baby

[@brendan9868]

They usually only give it out to kids with critically life threatening conditions. Sometimes they give them for kids who’ve had to spend the majority of their lives in hospital beds like this dude. I hope you don’t apply to either of these, but it’s pretty unlikely that you apply unless the surgeries done were for life threatening issues that hospitalized you for a long periods of time.

[@prestinallen9393]

Bad ass alert😎😎😎😎

[@calvinsweeney4466]

For once I think that I was rooting for another team than the B's.

[@faithmusings1039]

Right. That was a TOUGH start to the season, but knowing Hunter was there and must have enjoyed the hell out of it makes it easier.
