8-year-old Alex Skiffington laced up his skates and looked right at home on the ice with the Vancouver Canucks

Skiffington is battling a life-threatening disease, but thanks to the 'Make-A-Wish' foundation, he was 'overwelmed' with excitement for his big day with his favorite team.

Skiffington stole the show at practice, scoring a goal for his team.

The Sedin twins were battling over Skiffington's fandom. His favorite player is Daniel Sedin, but Henrik Sedin scored some major points when he gave Skiffington his 700th assist puck. Henrik is the franchise leader in assists for the Vancouver Canucks.
