The article recounts a touching encounter between Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini and 5-year-old cancer survivor Luke Schumann at the team's practice. Celebrini and Schumann bonded over hockey, with Celebrini teaching Luke to ride his stick and skate together. Luke had recently completed treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma and is now cancer-free. His family expressed gratitude for the care they received and for the unforgettable experience provided through Make-A-Wish. The emotional journey highlights resilience in the face of adversity and the uplifting power of sports and community support.
"We were building some chemistry out there," Celebrini said, discussing his time with Luke Schumann. "So hopefully when he gets older, we can play together here."
"That's the phone call nobody wants to get, let alone with one of your kids," said John Schumann, reflecting on his son's cancer diagnosis. "But they put an awesome plan together... because they had had a few kids (with) this form of cancer."
