Bussi gets the start for Game 4.

Congrats, Bill! We met Bill at our game at UBS Arena in April.

Thank you to everyone that voted and supported Bill! 👏

Congratulations to Bill Tobias on winning the U.S. Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award presented by Discover!

The Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award recognizes an individual who — through the game of hockey — has positively impacted their community, culture, or society.

We want 🚌!

If you have not read about Brandons story - definitely recommend you do. His journey to the NHL is such an inspiration and he is an incredible advocate for the Autism community. He has met multiple athletes that have participated in our events and is such an incredible person. The love he has for his brother, Dylan, is amazing. Henry met Brandon back in April and he made such an impression on Henry, that he refers to Brandon as his friend. ❤️

We will be forever a fan of Brandon Bussi! Hope that you get the nod tonight! 🙏

Will the Carolina Hurricanes turn to Brandon Bussi for Game 4?

📺: Game 4 of the Final is TONIGHT at 8p ET on ABC, Sportsnet, & TVA Sports!
