Though he was Dwyane Wade Jersey wearing a Toews jersey into the rink that day, Colon wasnt shy to tell Marian Ho sa that his favorite player was actually . Toews was standing right there, man!"So Kane is your favorite player but you wear No. 19?" Ho sa asked. "Good politician." In addition to skating with the captain, No. 75 also got some great tips from Hawks agitator who showed him how to get away from a tight checker along the boards and to fight through hooks and holds, something Shaw Hassan Whiteside Jersey seems to know pretty well himself.After the practice, Colon did some one-on-one pa sing with Kane and took his spot next to the Blackhawks star in the dre sing room after the day was done.Gabes parents were over the moon to watch their son get a day like he had Monday. Its amazing, Colons father Anthony told Blackhawks TV. This opportunity, he Andre Iguodala Jersey s had to give up so much in the last three years, so its really great that Make-A-Wish and the Chicago organization could get together and make a great memory.As a parent, theres no greater joy than seeing your son happy, said Gabes mother Lidia.
