An 11-year-old boy from the Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation in Saskatchewan joined the Toronto Maple Leafs last week for an adventure of a lifetime.

Garrett Gamble Jr. signed a one-day contract to serve as a puck dropper for his favorite team. He was called to the ice on Thursday night to join his colleagues for a game against the Ottawa Senators.

"We are very proud," his father, Garrett Gamble Sr., told CBC News.

Garrett suffers from Morquio syndrome, a disorder that causes heart disease and skeletal abnormalities and can lead to early death. He has to spend most of his time in a wheelchair but that hasn't affected his enthusiasm for the Maple Leafs, who won the game 4-3.

Garrett's dream to join the team was made possible by the Children's Wish Foundation.
