Former Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and the Vegas Golden Knights granted the wish of a teenage cancer survivor, as documented by ESPN’s annual My Wish series on Wednesday.

Doron Coldwell, 13, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and began chemotherapy treatment in 2017. With his cancer in remission, Coldwell became a Golden Knight for a day.

He received a jersey and set of goalie gear, then received pointers from Fleury as he was introduced to the crowd and faced shots from Vegas players at the team’s practice facility.
