And that is why Marc Andre Fleury is my favorite Hockey player.

[@flyersbno3583]

Edward Smith him and Carey price. Both generational players on and off the ice!

[@marc-andrefurret7175]

Edward Smith I love him too

[@seadav0183]

He's such a phenomenal human being

[@calumandersen8545]

All class Marc andre. Love that guy.

[@lololololol5783]

He’s not a player lol

[@UrbanOutlawsSk8Co]

Hockey is a class above. I love Fleury, he has such a love for his fans.

[@kevinreadel8868]

Yesssssss

[@puupilo96746]

I live in Las Vegas and the entire town is obsessed with this team. The energy in the arena when the game is going is beyond belief. Great video and I'm happy Doron has made a recovery.

[@mreddyfeelgood]

Let's Wait in 20 years see if its the same. Some American fans doesnt know the concept of "reconstruction".

[@LoveABun]

puupilo96746 Husband and I live in Oklahoma and were fortunate enough to be T-Mobile suite guests at a VGK game last season. You are spot on about the incredible energy and excitement inside the arena. We were awed by it all! It was electrifying! The energy was palpatable! Games are far more than just games; they are full-blown productions! I mean, who expects to get to sing along with the little prairie dog singing Freddie Mercury? What fun!! Lol. All the music, videos and fan interactions are just spectacular. The people involved are super talented and creative. Once again, Vegas does it up right like no other! We continue to cheer for the Knights and watch all the games aired on the NHL channel. Praying they make it to the finals again!

[@twfchamp02]

netcatzpj Your description of a VGK game makes me want to go to one. There is some questions I have. You say you live in Oklahoma. Are you originally from there? Is there any sort of hockey culture there? And what made you a fan of the game?

[@JerZkyd]

whats the sentiment like for the raiders? do you feel like the city will embrace them?

[@wikoli-kuloloniele-kapalam2779]

​@mreddyfeelgood I put my money on that 20 years later, VGK fans, our city still have ❤ for this awesome team. Like any teams in major city, VGK will obviously have their ups and downs as we want our own team to win games. No one knew this city will grow, let alone be a major sport town, but here we are! As a Vegas resident for years, our city is still growing not by choice but by high demands and millions of money pouring in our city, thus VGK fans will grow after a few years. I personally don't like our city growing too big, but it's not our choice!

[@stinkyfinger1234]

People really disliked this lol, it’s a kid fighting for his life man. it’s not a video of lebron being shoved down our throats 24/7 by espn

I love Marc Andre Fleury and this is one of the reasons why. He has such a good heart.

[@ashleydyal6991]

What a rad thing to do - legit so cool that they set up T-Mobile and brought in the whole crew to announce him! I bet if they would have put out the call, the whole town would’ve come out to fill the arena and cheer for him to make it just like game day! Congrats on your remission Doron - so happy for you and your family!

To care and love of someone elses child like that, the real MVP is here is the best side of us humans, captioned in a series of events like LV golden org. the players and the family. Thank you ESPN for showing me this.

[@Logical281]

Glad to see some sort of hockey coverage

[@bruinsfights1642]

Logical as hockey fans we shouldn’t blame espn for not talking about the NHL because NBC has exclusive rights to show games. The only hockey that espn is allowed to air is the college hockey tournament.

[@wowbruh2511]

Tom Brady it’s not that espn isn’t allowed to do hockey. It’s that they are strategically avoiding hockey, since nbc has exclusive rights...why show hockey, and then end up bringing viewership to NBC? If nhl signs with espn you will see hockey on espn. Espn wouldn’t ignore one of the major sports for MLS and golf unless there’s a reason.

[@mikledeepikle-4033]

This is the most worthwhile video on KZbin. Best 7 mins of my life. Period.

Though I hate Vegas due to the rivalry against the sharks I have respect for what they do for the community

[@LoveABun]

Made me cry! I’ve been through what Doron has been through, taking many of the same chemo drugs he received. It’s a BRUTAL test of strength and endurance-one that no child should ever have to suffer through. So very proud of Doron and my Vegas Golden Knights! What an honor to be taught hockey by none other than Flower! ❤️👍🏼

[@nateshow8849]

I love what the vgk has done for this little guy!!!! So humble and so amazing! What an amazing team and fan base!

[@jameszaltzman3577]

Doron is the best person and the strongest person i have ever met me and him would play street hockey all the time and he deserves this after all he has been through. oh and just a heads up do not try him he is a beast goalie.

Doron Coldwell Thank you for making a hockey wish, Because of this you have made my love of HOCKEY grow stronger and stronger.

[@nataliejaggi387]

Marc-André Fleury's heart is pure gold, no pun intended

[@nostolgixxlennyy105]

This is why hockey is the sport that motivates me to keep going in life. There are the ups and the downs but mostly, the community is FANTASTIC. Congrats, Dorwin!

[@karstenbourgoine7695]

Prayers to him and his family

[@1copperfly]

Such a great tenacious kid. Such a great tenacious team. Although I am a Canucks fan, the Knights are my second team and I often wonder how Fleury became such an amazing goalie. We hockey fans all want to brag about our goalie but time and time again Fleury is seen making the most epic saves. To see players come out to make a child cancer surviver smile, makes me realize they are good human beings like almost all of us. I hope and pray Doron continues to beat the Sh!t out of his cancer and lives a long natural life. Cancer sucks and we can all fall prey. The effort the players give to this is more than all the Kardass witches ever gave to anything combined. Long live Doron and long live all cancer kids .

[@poogan1239]

Hockey , and it's players, are some of the greatest things on earth.

[@desertrose6670]

Love Fleury...he's my favorite player on our team but all of our team would have met with Doron...and did. 😀

[@noeljokait]

Growing up in Chicago as a big BlackHawks fan, I always find that hockey players are the best in interacting with fans. Always courteous, friendly, and giving; maybe because majority of them are Canadians and Europeans at that point of time, but it still holds true for today. I now live in Las Vegas; still a Hawks fan but the Golden Knights do put in a great show every time in T-Mobile arena win or lose.

As a reviewer that has seen many things in Vegas that this was a team that had taken this young man under their to grant him the ultimate wish that he had a spirit for Hockey that his team was the Golden Knights . And when they had taken him by helicopter and the greatest experience was about to begin he was going to be going out to the ice with a live crowd that had been there to cheer him on that the didn't care what Doron had they were to make his wish come true .
