Tage Thompson gifts puck to young fan with same name

Tage Thompson shared a moment with a young Tage Thompson on Saturday.

The Buffalo Sabres star flipped a puck to a young fan who shared the same name as him during warmups before the team’s game against the Calgary Flames at KeyBank Center in Buffalo.

On the glass, a young Sabres fan and his parents held up a sign that read, “My name is…Tage Thompson, too! This is my first hockey game!!!”

The sign caught the attention of the Sabres forward, who then skated over and flipped the puck to the boy who was sporting Thompson’s No. 72 jersey.

Thompson made sure to put on a show for his little name buddy, scoring a goal in the Sabres 3-2 shootout win.

It was a good day to be named Tage.
