CHICAGO -- When Nicholas Skretkowski showed up to Soldier Field on Friday night, the 4-year-old had his own stall inside the Chicago Blackhawks locker room.
Skretkowski, who has a medical condition called Wilms’ tumor and strabismus, is from Milton, Ontario. He made the visit with his parents for the appearance at the Blackhawks' outdoor practice prior to playing the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday in the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series (8 p.m. ET; NBC).
It was a memory Nicholas won't forget, and it also was special for Toews.
"It was great ... not just to be out on the ice with him, but to have him in here with the guys," Toews said. "He seemed a little shy at first, but then kind of got more comfortable. Someone asked him about his favorite team and his favorite players. He seemed like he knew a lot for a little guy."
