Mason Berg, a 12-year-old child who has muscular dystrophy used his wish to practice with his favourite team – the Chicago Blackhawks. He even got to drop the mitts with Toews and played a savage prank on the Blackhawks Captain.

Toews was about to take a refreshing sip of water from a bottle provided by Berg, but unbeknownst to Toews, the lid was unscrewed. Instead of a stream of water, Toews received an entire face wash, drenching him in the once bottled water. In Berg’s post-practice interview, he admitted that the well-executed prank was his idea.
Mason also spent the day scoring goals, winning faceoffs and even performed Patrick Kane’s famous celly.
