Trevor Zegras Displays Heartwarming Gesture for Young Fan Battling Cancer
Trevor Zegras of the Anaheim Ducks, despite stirring up some controversy in his short NHL career, once again displayed his off-ice class with a heartwarming gesture.
Zegras showcased his on-ice talent just before Christmas, executing a beautiful "Michigan" move against the Seattle Kraken.
Quincy Rohrbach, facing stage four cancer, shared on her Instagram story that Zegras texted her the next morning, dedicating the goal to her. Going above and beyond, he invited Rohrbach to the next Ducks' practice and presented her with the stick he used for the memorable Michigan goal.
"I met Quincy Rohrbach through the Morgan Adams Foundation. She's a beautiful young lady with stage 4 cancer. Her favorite hockey player is Trevor Zegras. So, for Christmas week, Trevor invited Quincy to a practice where she was showered with gifts. And then Trevor did this."
While hockey players typically collect mementos for themselves, witnessing Zegras gift such a significant item to someone facing a major life battle adds a special touch to his gesture.
