And, wouldn't you know it? That's exactly what happened.
"It was surreal," Bryant Wombles, Bradley's father, told NHL.com. "We couldn't believe it. We were so happy for him. He was on Cloud Nine."
"Obviously there's a really cool story going on with Bradley and me," Maroon said after the game. "I'm just really excited he got the opportunity to enjoy this with his family."
Bradley, who recently graduated from Pre-K, also got to ride the Zamboni and meet Thunderbug, the team mascot, all while wearing an ear-to-ear smile.
