Make-A-Wish: Hockey
Cameron leaves the ice
6-year-old Cameron wished to be a player for the Los Angeles Kings.
The L.A. Kings had no problem with helping grant Cameron's wish. Cameron got a limo ride to meet up with Ian Laperriere at the Kings' training center. Cameron put on his full hockey gear, including an official L.A. Kings jersey.
Cameron dished out hip checks, made some passes, and took some slap shots. He weaved his way through the legs of Laperriere and Derek Armstrong to rack up goals on goalie Cristobal Huet.
After the practice, Cameron joined the players in the locker room for some Gatorade. The players also took pictures with Cameron and gave him autographs.
In addition, Laperriere invited Cameron and his family to the L.A. Kings game the following night. Laperriere scored two goals in the game and he saved the first puck just for Cameron! He also gave Cameron the stick he used for that game, which included the autographs of the entire team.
