Lucca Carlson, taking after his dad, John Carlson, truly loves hockey. He’s been wearing skates for most of his life, and is always seen in Gina Carlson’s Instagram videos carrying a tiny hockey stick everywhere he goes.
Now, it seems Lucca really wants to be a goaltender. Specifically Braden Holtby.

In a video posted to Carlson’s Instagram story Wednesday evening, Lucca is seen wearing a set of kid’s goalie gear, including a helmet, while guarding a Capitals-branded net.
Lucca is all ready in his goaltending position and can be heard saying “Dad,” like, c’mon Dad shoot the puck already. Before giving his son a chance to stop the famous Carly slapshot, he asked who Lucca was.
“HOLTBY!!!” Lucca yells while throwing his arms in the air.
This isn’t the first time Lucca has played goalie, but he is soon going to out grow that mini-net.
