Americans, especially those who aren't full time hockey nuts like me, started falling in love with T.J. Oshie after his impressive shootout performance against Russsia in the Sochi Olympics...
That was just a taste of his skills that the fans in St. Louis and North Dakota already knew about...Then, back in March I shared THIS video of Oshie making a wish come true for a fan...
And then, I had posted on July 6th about Oshie being traded from the Blues to the Capiltals...And I shared the following video of one of his biggest fans...
Yes, Libby Lu was crushed by the Oshie trade, but was also very intersted in the pool he was going to have at the home he was building...But with being traded, having a home built, and getting prepared for his wedding, Oshie still kept his word, and sent Libby Lu a T.J. Oshie Capitals jersey, plus a bunch of other gear!
Look at that smile...That excitement...That's what a class act does...It doesn't matter where Oshie plays throughout the rest of his career...It doesn't matter if he scores 10 goals or 40 goals a season...It doesn't matter if he wins a Cup or not...This little girl, Libby Lu will be a fan of his for life...And she'll be a Hockey fan for life, because T.J. Oshie went that extra mile...He didn't just give lip-service for ESPN...He backed it up, just as he does on the ice...
Our sports world needs mor guys like T.J. Oshie...
And yeah, he's pretty bad-ass on the ice too...
