When Atticus heard he and Felix were invited to meet a few NHL players and watch them play, he sat up straight and said quietly "That means so much to me. It really does. But, I don't think I deserve it though." He explained that some of his friends were better hockey players, and it should be those kids who get to meet The Greats.

He brought them pieces of his own hockey stick, which he autographed.
