We usually don't share videos that are in languages other than English, however this child's reaction was so good we just couldn't resist.
March 10th will likely be a day young Alexis Bélanger, just 8 years of age with Asperger's Syndrome, will likely remember for the rest of his life. The video below is filmed by Alexis' mom and what Alexis doesn't know is he's at the Bell Centre, a place he's never been before, to watch his favorite team play live for the very first time.
At first Alexis is dissapointed that he and his mom have to wait in a long line to get into the building(at this point he still doesn't realize where he is) but that disappointment quickly turns to excitement as he starts to realize exactly what's going on.
When his mom confirms that they are indeed about to go watch the Canadiens live at the Bell Centre he can no longer contain himself and begins to jump around and punch the air in joy.
A truly beautiful moment for a special young fan, this is what hockey is all about.
