After seeing the story of an 8-year-old fan suffering from a brain tumor on local TV, the Pittsburgh Penguins sprang into action.

The team invited Matthew Jacko, a huge fan, to sit in Evgeni Malkin's suite during a game. Then Matthew, who was diagnosed with the inoperable tumor 18 months ago, got a front-row seat for practice. He even got to meet Malkin and Sidney Crosby and get a jersey signed by the Penguins' stars.

“This is awesome, truly awesome,” said Matthew's father, Brian. "It's beyond words. He thinks the world of Sidney. To get to meet him and be here is just awesome.”
