Carey Price made everyone cry with this beautiful moment at the NHL Awards

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price didn’t come onstage to accept an award at the 2019 NHL awards, but he deserves all the accolades for what he did.

In February, Price met a young fan named Anderson Whitehead who was waiting in the stands after practice. Anderson had recently lost his mother to cancer, and Price embraced him and gave him signed equipment. The video quickly went viral.

Anderson came out onstage at the awards, and Price was onscreen in what appeared to be a prerecorded message. A moment later Price waved away the camera and came out onstage for a touching, tearful reunion.

Max Scherzer, however, is trying to end that stigma in baseball. After breaking his nose practicing bunting during batting practice on Tuesday, Scherzer made his scheduled start and pitched in the Washington Nationals’ Wednesday evening game.

Scherzer pitched a gem, of course, and sported a gnarly black eye at the same time. He got the attention of the Capitals too with his performance.

The 2020 NHL Draft will be held in Montreal

Wednesday afternoon, the NHL announced that the 2020 Draft will be held north of the border. The Montreal Canadiens will host the draft.

“To think that the NHL Draft started in 1963 as a small gathering at a hotel ballroom in Montreal, makes it all the more exciting to announce that the 2020 edition of the Draft is coming back to its original city, Montreal, in a far grander fashion,” said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a release. “The NHL Draft has grown into a spectacle befitting our next generation of stars who will walk across the big stage to the next phase of their hockey careers.
