OT: The Ultimate show of Sportsmanship

[RustyBruins72]

This WHL player had a form of meningitis and had a very close call. He was in hospital for 3 weeks.

He returned Saturday to drop the puck for Game 6 against the Calgary Hitmen.

I can't say i've ever seen anything like this.

I was reading on Wikipedia the other night that Jamie McLennan on NHL network almost died of meningitis early in his career.

Never knew.

Bozon was in an induced coma for at least a week.

I didn't know about McLennan either.

That was great, but I have yet to see a show of sportsmanship that tops this:



This epitomizes what amateur sports are supposed to be.

Excuse me, I have something in my eye...

GD. Thanks so much for sharing that. I'd never seen it.

I've got 2 girls myself. I am always trying to teach them about sportsmanship. This is a great and maybe the ultimate example.

and yeah, I too have something in my eye.

I've seen that 3 or 4 times now and always tear up.

The Bozon video was great too. Hockey players just get "it".

Thanks for posting that.

Classy move, especially b/c they didn't have to do it, but did anyway.

Well done.

I hope the kid makes his way to the habs.

Jeebus. I watched those two back to back, then followed it with the story of the HS runner who carried her opponent the last 50 yards of their race a couple years back. Maybe our youth aren't so bad after all.

Excuse me while I go get a Kleenex.
