The best part? Patrik Laine covered the cost of tickets for the kids from his hometown who wouldn't otherwise have had the budget to see an NHL game.

What an incredible gesture from Laine once again!
Even though it's not a Montreal Canadiens game, he paid for the tickets so these young players could watch the Toronto Maple Leafs today, facing Patrick Roy and the New York Islanders.
A beautiful way to end the year for them.
Laine, 26 years old, is a Finnish forward standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 208 pounds.
The second overall pick by the Winnipeg Jets in 2016 (1st round) has 10 points in 12 games this season with the Montreal Canadiens after being acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets last August.
Both on and off the ice, he has been truly impressive since his acquisition by Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton.
This is yet another example of it.
