Six-year-old Jordan Primeau got the surprise of a lifetime this week when TSN and the Children's Make a Wish Foundation of Canada made his dream of becoming a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs a reality.
Jordan has been battling leukemia since 2002 when he was just over one-years-old. He went through two-and-a-half years of chemotherapy to fight the disease. He went into remission for eight months, but relapsed in January 2006.
This time, the cancer attacked Jordan's central nervous system, causing him to lose 85 percent of his vision.
Yet the youngster kept his head held up high and stayed positive.
His leukemia is now in remission again.
Jordan and his family, father Dan and mother Shannon and four-year-old brother Zackery, approached the Children's Make a Wish Foundation before Christmas 2007 looking to fulfill the Leafs dream.
TSN stepped in and helped the young boy's dream come true.
TSN and broadcaster James Duthie made their way to Lively earlier this week to surprise Jordan at his school, St. James.
They then showed Jordan and his family a video of Maple Leafs head coach Paul Maurice announcing Jordan was the club's latest acquisition.
The moment touched Jordan and his family, making them highly emotional.
The entire family got to go to see a Maple Leafs practice.
There, Jordan met his heroes, including captain Mats Sundin and forward Jason Blake, who also has battled leukemia.
Jordan got to go for a skate with Matt Stajan and even passed the puck back-and-forth with Blake.
Later on, Blake gave Jordan a big hug and thanked him for coming.
Jordan even got a stick from the NHL's leading goal scorer Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.
Afterwards, the family got to watch the Leafs versus the Capitals live at the Air Canada Centre.
The perfect day ended on a perfect note as the Leafs won 3-2 thanks to Sundin scoring the winning goal with just 29.2 seconds left in the game.
