Watching the Philadelphia Flyers vs Carolina Hurricanes game the other night, you may have noticed this little guying peaking through on the Flyers bench! The Flyers latest signing, 9 year old Owen Micciche out of Upper Black Eddy PA who diagnosed with a paediatric brain tumor at just 6 months old. So he’s been a fighter for a while now and naturally the Flyers added him as their latest enforcer! Initiatives like this prove hockey is more than a game. I cover it all in todays NHL video!

Right on. You go little man! Hope nothing but the best for you.
People think Torts is just a dick 24/7 but he's actually a pretty genuine guy.
The Flyers won this game regardless of the score.
AWESOME…KEEP IT GOING OWEN … 😃😃YOU ROCK PEACE Lil Man from WESTERN CANADA
Torts is an amazing man and a blessing to the league
REDEEMED!
Good guy Torts?
I liked Torts when he coached the Rangers. He loses his cool once in a while but who doesn’t?
Torts deserves to still be the guy in philly once they truly prove its their time to get back into the playoffs. Hes coached some of my teams most hated rivals but still has always been one of my favourite people in hockey. Then you hear about how he spoke about the kyle beech situation and how he went about this, what a guy. Proves you can be yourself and stick to your guns no matter how hard headed and oldschool people may view it as an NHL coach and still be a good guy. Mike babcock should take notes
Kid’s got a better wrister than most reading this 😱😱😱😱😱
Empty swear jar that game…
Pens fan here Torts is a great guy and shout out to the Flyers organization for doing that
LOL Johnny T looks smiles here just like the Grinch after his heart-grew-ten-sizes-that-day revelation Love ya Torts!
Bravo to the Flyers. That probably is the highlight of this kids life. He looks so innocent and sweet. Man, prayers for him that he can overcome the challenges he's facing, may Jesus heal him and bless his life!
Great story!
The only time Torts watch what he said on the bench! what an awesome kid, hope for the best!
Wow. I used to hate both these teams b/c I'm a Bruins fan…but can no longer hate the Flyers after this.
(no, I'm not crying…there's something in my eye)
WONDERFUL STORY!!!
Torts is great with kids from his Rochester and Tampa days
I love hockey! RESPECT
I didn't know they had the cap space for another player
Kudos to the Flyers!! Good on ya!! And all the best to young Owen in your fight!! That brain tumour doesn't stand a chance mate!!
As a diehard Pittsburgh Penguins fan I absolutely dislike the Flyers! But what you guys did as a team for that little boy BRAVO PHILLY I actually hoped you would’ve won that game!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
bloody awesome to see
Love stuff like this. As a Penguins fan, props to the Flyers. Some things are bigger than hockey ❤
Ok thats pretty neat
Torts is a great guy! Media likes to hyper-focus on the fact that he yells at millionaires when they play at a junior level, but he's a stud.
Hockey's so f'n great
I never would have guessed Torts would have been the coach to do something like this. I love watching the guy, and he's a good coach in most measurements, but Torts does have a rather sharp edge to him.
That’s amazing
What? Are you deleting my comments?
Outstanding!
God bless that kid
Im so happy that the Flyers fired everyone. Ever since then i can get behind the team again. Hopefully they sell the team but Torts is a good fit here in Philly and Jones + Briere have gotten back to Flyers culture
Regardless of how it works out in Philly, I have huge respect for Torts. He came into town and took the helm of a franchise that was a total mess. You can tell he HATES losing, but he knows he needs to endure this pain to get to the other side. This shows not only passion for the game, but for building a team. If he can turn Philly around, it galvanizes his storied career into the HOF. He wins a cup, he'll be amongst the GOAT. Get him some Players, FO.
I love when clubs I hate, do things that make me like them, before going back to hating them. You know what I mean.
