New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba made a young fan's night and future -- by gifting him not only the jersey off his back, but a law school scholarship!!
The heartwarming moment went down Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, where the Toronto Maple Leafs played the Rangers.
Garden of Dreams Foundation member Isaiah Márquez-Greene, who survived the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012 but lost his sister Ana in the horrific event, met Trouba, his favorite player, on the ice and got the #8 jersey as a gift.
26 people, mostly elementary school-age kids, were senselessly murdered by a 20-year-old man on December 14, 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
"I've been a fan of you since Winnipeg [Jets]," Marquez-Greene told Trouba.
The hockey defenseman was flattered and signed the jersey for Isaiah ... but he had more in store for him.
"I know your story. I feel for you," Trouba said. "You're an amazing human."
That's when Trouba surprised Isaiah -- who wants to be a lawyer -- with a full scholarship!
"From the Garden of Dreams, this is a scholarship for law school! So you're gonna graduate from college, you're going to go to law school and you're gonna have no debt coming out of school."
Trouba even gave Isaiah his phone number to stay in touch so he gets his party invitation when he graduates.
"I want an invitation to when you graduate law school," Trouba said. "And I'm gonna check in with you when you go to college next year."
According to Márquez-Greene's mother, Nelba, the 18-year-old will be heading to UConn this fall.
Congratulations and good luck!!!
