Kade Meets Hero Wolf: Size Doesn't Define Dreams

0:00Ten-year-old Cade Heisler turned into an overnight sensation after holding up a sign at a Calgary Flames game against the Colorado Avalanche. It read that Flames' goalie Dustin Wolf was his idol. During the match on Tuesday, Wolf spotted Cade and tossed him a hockey stick, which got caught on camera and blew up online. Just two days later, Cade got invited back to the Saddle Dome for the Flames pre-games gate, where he finally met his hero in person. For the young fan, it was his first time at an NHL practice, and he called the whole thing a super cool moment. Cade plays goalie too, and like Wolf, he's on the smaller side, so he looks up to how the pro turns that into fuel. His mom says Cable faced bigger opponents in under-13 hockey, but he's learning tactics from watching Wolf to hold his own in the crease. Wolf made his Flames debut back in April 2023, standing six-beat tall and weighing 166 pounds undersized for the position, yet he's already a fan-favor with his strong play between the pipes.
