Kade Foster recently celebrated his 11th birthday, but things didn't go quite as he had planned.

In a tweet that quickly went viral, Kade's dad reached out to his favorite hockey team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, looking for a little backup after no one came to his son's birthday party.

When Leafs Captain John Tavares got word of the young fan, he decided to turn Kade's birthday into the best one he'd ever had.

Tavares called Kade on his actual birthday and invited him to come meet the team ahead of the next weekend's game!


The Leafs went all out for Kade's big day.


And it wasn't only the NHL team that sounded off on Twitter.

A bunch of celebrities, including Mark Hamill and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also sent their best wishes.






The National Women's Hockey League also told Kade he was more than welcome at any of their games, any time.


The Foster family took to Twitter once again a little bit later to thank everyone for turning Kade's birthday into such a memorable occasion.


Happy Birthday, Kade!

Hopefully there are even more great ones to come.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the "original six" teams in professional hockey. Together with the Boston Bruins, Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers, they created the foundation for the modern NHL.

Nancy Sinatra Shuts Down MAGA Fan Who Claimed Her Famous Dad Would've Voted For Trump

It's no secret that MAGA Republican President Donald Trump hasn't been able to attract the cream of the crop when it comes to the entertainment industry. While Kid Rock, Kevin Sorbo and Scott Baio are Trump ride or dies, pretty much every other Hollywood or music legend or rising star is taking a pass on Trump.

And some outright despise the man and let everyone know. Often.

Dept. Of Energy Roasted After Posting Bonkers Light Switch Meme To Praise Trump

The U.S. Department of Energy was mocked online after it shared a photo of President Donald Trump signing executive orders next to an image of a hand turning a light switch on—a bizarre meme that had people scratching their heads wondering what in the world the department was aiming for.

The official X account posted the meme without a caption or a comment of any kind—just one of many posts in recent days lauding the Trump administration and particularly Secretary Chris Wright for ensuring that "energy equals freedom" and that the U.S. has entered a "golden age of liquid gold."
