Wayne Gretzky gives two fans surprise of a lifetime.
The Great One comes up huge for a pair of fans who can't believe their luck.
This is what the sport of hockey is all about.
Recently, the Edmonton Oilers, the Gretzky family and content creator Zachery Dereniowski, who goes by MDMotivator on Instagram, teamed up to give a pair of Oilers fans the surprise of a lifetime.
Dereniowski's style of content involves surprising unsuspecting fans with once in a lifetime type of gifts and opportunities, often doing so for families that have been struggling in one way or another. He did something very similar in this case, surprising a pair of Oilers fans who were shopping while wearing the team colors.
Little did these fans know that Dereniowski was about to give them the surprise of a lifetime, offering them Stanley Cup Final tickets for the low price of just $1. What initially looked like some kind of prank turned out to be an incredible day for the pair of Oilers fans, who also learned that they would be getting $1000 in cash on top of the ticket to the game.
The two fans would then turn around and make a gesture that showed that Dereniowski had picked the right fans to surprise, with them paying it forward by giving the money to someone else shopping in the very same establishment.
The fun didn't stop there however as the two fans also got their chance to meet National Hockey League legend Wayne Gretzky, with Gretzky's son Ty Gretzky collaborating on this project to help make everything come together. Gretzky gave both of the fans a jersey with his name and number and proceeded to sign it for both of them as well, with joy written all across both of their faces the entire time.
One of the fans made it clear just how much he was enjoying himself.
"This is the best day of my life," he exclaimed."
