Now here’s a way to get a wiener dog at a hockey team. A real dog, that is. Not a hot dog.
A young Canucks fan held up a sign during a game between Vancouver and Arizona last week saying he will get a puppy if Bo Horvat scores.
Adley bet his dad Aaron Hefter that Horvat would score a goal.
Hefter says Adley wanted a wiener dog and tried to persuade him ahead of the game to get one.
He said, what if his favourite player Bo scored a goal, can he get a wiener dog? I thought about it and I said, sure, we can do that.”
Hefter said Adley was a bit shy to hold up the sign at first.
As more people kept rooting for us, he got a bit more confident.”
Finally after a number of close calls, Horvat delivered in the third period.
Horvat scores! ‘Hotdog Horvat’ gets a new home.
