September 14th: Milton Boy's Dream Comes True: Designing Gear for His Hero Auston Matthews

Introduction: Imagine being a young hockey fan with a dream to meet your favorite NHL player. Now, imagine that dream becoming a reality in a truly unique way. That's exactly what happened to Liam Wilson, a nine-year-old boy from Milton, Ontario.

The Dream: Liam, who lives with cystic fibrosis, has always looked up to Auston Matthews, the Toronto Maple Leafs superstar. His admiration for Matthews turned into a deep-rooted desire to meet him. Thanks to Make-a-Wish Canada, this dream was about to become a reality.

The Plan: Liam's mom, Deana, and Make-a-Wish coordinator Rachelle Courte came up with a creative idea to make the meeting even more special. They asked Liam to design his own hockey stick and skates. Little did Liam know, these designs would be brought to life by a talented custom gear maker, Peter 'Guby' Gubernator.

The Reveal: At a surprise event that was held at EXIT Realty Connect in Milton on Sat Sept 14th, Liam was presented with a stick and skates that will be customized to be given to Auston Matthews at a date that will be determined very soon. Surrounded by friends, family, and community members, Liam's excitement and emotion were palpable as he realized his dream was coming true.

A Unique Connection: Liam's wish was more than just meeting his hero; it was about creating a lasting connection. By designing his own gear, Liam was able to share a piece of himself with Matthews. The meeting between the two would be a truly special moment.

A Lasting Impact: Liam's experience not only fulfilled his dream but also inspired others in the community. His story serves as a reminder of the power of hope, perseverance, and the impact a simple wish can have on a young person's life.
