This is not an overreaction. A 12 year old girl died at a Columbus blue jackets game after she was hit by a puck. This is happened around 2003 or 2004 .That’s why now you see those netting behind the goals.!
Ariana Grande got hit by a puck twice as a child!
@@jskelly1979 idiot
Close, she was 13, almost 14. She died two days before her 14th birthday in March 2002. They put the netting up at the start of the 2002-03 season. Her name was Brittanie Cecil. 😢
@@durrrrl3435
Found video about her
th-cam.com/video/fyoT_2Ghlcg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HftaJyoIwBriBHAc
First thing that came to mind. So incredibly sad. The CBJ wore her initials on their helmets for the rest of the season after that.
“He doesn’t know he almost got taken out by a hockey puck.” 😭
He well could have, people have been killed by them.
That made me laugh too
@@jeanine6328right? Sheepskin used to take a lot of people out too.
Now he only has PD to worry about.
@@jeanine6328I cried like a newborn baby.
Just casually preventing a tragedy with a smile on his face. This is so wholesome
“wHoLeSoMe”
Did you look at his face when he had just stopped the puck, there was no wholesome smile on it then... it was an OMG moment for him!!
It's clearly fake news trying to push the privileged white agenda acting like they aren't the cause of all the suffering.
@@cinmanmoowholesome isn't a facial expression. I hope you know that.
@@awsomestleaperd78 funny but wholesome can mean many things in regards to facial expressions, for example good through and through or just simply nice but thanks for caring about my use of the English language. Glad I could help you increase your knowledge of it as well.
He's this boy's guardian angel. Wow,what a save. He deserves all the good coming his way.
SO TRUE ❤❤❤❤YESSSSSS
GodBless him
Amen
Well the daddy never came back with milk so.....
Thanks to Andrew
@@logansneed2882Lmfao, this is gold.
this guy is father material
This is the comment I was looking for 😂because ladies this is what you want! ❤😂
I thought you women wanted a 6’5 athlete who will cheat on you?
@@QuanPookie Come on, this guy is pretty cute 😊
@@QuanPookie He got clout now due to this. That's why he's "attractive" now. Clout/fame is very important to women.
@@AD-nz3ccYou’re not wrong, but it’s not end all be all. There are all different types of women that don’t care bout that. You need to surround yourself with people that don’t care about that. The internet is the internet
This is the kind of story that DESERVES attention
your pfp is amazing
Word up
Natural protective nature, natural skill... I love when people do good things IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LOVE IT!
Michael Scott lol
Ill bet he has kids of his own because those were definitely some fatherly instincts that kicked in 😁
That guy had some serious dad protection energy!
People do good things all the time but news outlets choose not to focus on it
The mother moved out of the way. She said her reaction time wasn't great, but it was... she just moved in the opposite direction away from her son, thus leaving him exposed and vulnerable. Luckily, that guy stepped up and did her job. I pray for these kids every time I see them with a single mother. Smh.
What’s even more incredible is how in a split second he had to identify and act without thinking, he just did. Well done
The speed of his action was almost superhuman. Lucky little guy.
Will. The man that brought the story to us. A true hero
More incredible than what?
THIS is what humanity should be. Well done.
If u live in the suburbs it is.
You can tell he just looks like a regular good dude.
Thank God. He was at the right place at the right time.
And he didn't hesitate to act.
Amen
Because the mother sure didn't care enough to throw her body over her son. In her social media post, she even acted like her son was one big annoyance the whole game. It's a shame that the public has to continue to protect and provide for the children of single mothers. But thank god, dude was there. Smh.
@@KtotheGlooked pretty fast. Not everyone has the reaction time for that kind of thing
@@douba_plusa Her reaction time was on par... she just moved in the other direction and she kept her phone tightly in her hand. She protected what was more important... herself and her phone. Where was the motherly instinct to drop everything and throw your body over your son to shield him from an incoming projectile? Then in her post, it was like she was more concerned with hooking up with this dude and getting him to play step daddy instead of caring about her son. She basically threw her son under the bus by saying he was mixing up and causing a problem the whole game. He's just a kid. That's what kids do. Mix up. I'm glad the kid is okay, because the Good Samaritan was there. I hate to think about what could've happened if he wasn't.
Someone just earned a lifetime pass to every cookout in Cleveland.
I doubt he'd be interested in attending the cookout with unevolved primitives.
Whether all the years of our lives or a fraction of a second, all we really have is each other. Thank goodness he was there at that moment.
Beautifully put!!!! 👏🏻
Thank you for those words, sir.. 🫡
❤And when they're not there all you have is ☝GOD😉💕💕💕
A true hero thank goodness he prevented a tragedy from happening
Thank the LORD! Whew!😅
What a hero!
“And that, kids, I how I met your mother”
You shouldn't be promoting race mixing. Unlike the little Felontavious's real father he'd stick around.
@@4-Methylaminorex Get a life!
@@4-MethylaminorexTröll 🧌🤦🏽♀️🙄💯
@@4-Methylaminorex everyone is mixxed, out of the millions of people who came before you... you think they're all one race ? XD
That guy is too handsome and decent to not have met someone by now. Unless there is something wrong with the women in that town.
That's a man that instinctively went into protection mode of a child. That is a great man.
Quick reflexes of some men amazes me! Great job!
Athletic reflexes 💪
That precious little boy! Thank God for Andrew's quick reflexes
I like this a lot. Instead of trying to call someone out on social media I’m an attempt to ruin their reputation/business/ life she used it for good. To show gratitude and share this man’s good deed. Good job Asia, if more people used the internet like that the world might be a better place.
He’s a good man to have around‼️💯💪👍🙂🙏
So glad he was right there Thank you 🙏🏾 Andrew you are amazing and thank goodness that precious little boy didn’t get hurt ❤❤❤
Thank God he had one of his soldiers there for protection what a hero
Yup his holiness angel 😇 saves a innocent on that hockey game. God bless that man.
God is great!!!!!!
Hallelujah!!
lol its dumb luck, tons of kids lack "soldiers" every day
@@BDS356 so why did a bunch of kids die today around the world?
God bless you Andrew!!! I love this story!!!
What a great story and a HUGE KUDOS to Andrew. Having the three of them do the puck drop together was a super sweet gesture on behalf of the team! ❤
Natural father reflexes of protection are a real thing! 😅 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
One can not save the whole world, but can make a difference in any given moment nonetheless. Best hockey highlight of the year.
Good news for once, God bless this quick Man!! I'm so glad baby boy didn't get hurt!! ❤❤
Couldn't have said it better myself😊
You know it’s divine intervention when there’s about 6-8 empty seats between that man and the other fans in the same row. He could have been in any of those seats.
One time I was walking in a building and two women and a toddler were in front of the door area. It was a real heavy door that swung shut. The toddler just as someone was walking out jump in front of the door and would have been crushed but I grabbed the door just in time. The mother was in shock and almost crying thank me, I just smiled and went on my way.
You are a hero! Thank you for saving that little one! God bless you ✝️💟
Boss man
Not even his own kid, but that’s what you call some Genuine Dad Reflexes. Tremendous
To God be the glory for sending that man there at the right time!
This Hero had zero desire to be recognized as a hero
A sign of a of a true hero ❤
The innocent of the child wams my heart
It should warm all our hearts. I love good news. ❤
There was a young girl a few years ago who died as a result of her injuries when she was hit with a hockey puck in the stands. That's why arenas have netting above the glass on each end of the rink so that pucks won't go into the stands. So this is a closer call than you might think.
Yes, Brittanie Cecil. She died two days before her 14th birthday in 2002.😢
Good man🙂👍 saving the 4 year old boy at the game🙏
Thanks God for Andrew!
It is so nice to see a "GREAT" story about humans helping humans 💜
Thank God this precious little boy is fine....can't even imagine had that man not caught that puck. We are a hockey family and my biggest fear is a flying puck. A real hero and angel there!
Angels are EVERYWHERE!!!God Bless Him
The story of a hero told by Superman’s son ❤️💙
Moms fell in love
I saw that instantly. I see some sparks in there.
Dude ain't want NOTHING to do with her , ghetto ass ho
yup. it was the real reason she wanted to track him down. Let's be real here. I always tell women "you can thank me in the bedroom."
@@loverofhumanityeven one’s that are in a relationship?
Awwwwwwww that is so beautiful. Thank God for him. 🙌🙌🙌
Great Save, Andrew. He 's the definition of "Angels in the stands". Thank you for a positive outcome.
They LOOK like a family.
I hope they stay in touch
Relax Largeisha, little Felontavious is gonna experience his first arrest in about 10 years time.
@@4-Methylaminorex Relax bud i'm sure you'll have your first sexual experience with your second cousin susan in no time.
She didn't even ask his name. No man should ever be raising someone else's chillin
Not all heroes wear capes.
We know don't have to remind us every time something like this happens, and yes I will still be listening in 2027, ugh
Real heroes don't wear capes.
Heroes with capes are fake heros 😂
I’m sick of this comment.
Yessss Andrew you are such a hero, blessings to you and the family💫🫶🙏🏽❤️
The poor kid would have been done for if it was me beside him. Thank God this person had the skills and smarts to make the save!
Why are you tell us that you would have been worthless in that situation?...are you that desperate to score likes?
@@mia1shooterdude, it’s just a self-deprecating way to elevate the other person. To emphasize how right place, right time, right person, the situation was.
Thank you uncle Andrew ❤
Lovely story and Andrew is a total stud! 😍
Where you sit AND who sits by you matters! Thank God!🙌🏽😘
I always like it when the news has a story with a happy ending like this one. That kid had a guardian angel sitting next to him.
Glad he wasn’t busy on TikTok, saw the puck coming, and saved the day.
TikTok, LOL!!
I hate that app
Wow he was really amazing ❤❤
Gosh he so handsome and heroic! I wish him all the best 🩷
Young man, young reflexes! Thank God!
We need more stories like this and heroes like this. What an ANGEL and shows Andrew Podolak was probably looking out for this kid the whole time 🧡.
So cute! Mom is lovely
I love that the hockey team recognized him and had him and that lil man do a ceremonial puck drop
Please people who see this Hero make sure he never has to buy another beer at a game again. ❤❤🤘🤘
Undercover super hero with those reflexes and action to block it like that, let alone see it… amazing! Well done sir.
Beautiful!
Thank God for Andrew!!!!
Handsome guy!
Andrew was fatherly even at the reunion
Those are dad instincts. I get to see it in action in my man over and over throughout the years as he dives in to save our kids from bumps and bruises. A real man and a good father.
Humane instincts! He may not be a dad at all.
A miracle!! So thankful the young child was saved!! Thankful for the gentleman's quick action!! Amazing!! Blessings to all!!❤❤❤🙏🙏
This reminds me of those videos of dad’s making spectacular saves of their children in tight situations. God bless this man 🙏🏻
Its stories like these that give me hope in humanity.
That kid is such a cutie and that guy that went into father mode to prevent that puck from hitting him 🥰❤ quite a handsome catch.
Every part of this story is great, wish the news was always like this. It put some sunshine in my day for real.
Andrew was sitting in the right place for a good reason. God Bless you for saving his life! 🫶
Poor lil guy didn't realize what happened😮
Let's let him remain blissfully unaware until he's a little older. ^_^
God bless Andrew! I’m in tears. He’s an Angel!!
He’s my hero too! Men like him are always in the right place at the right time to save the day!!!!
We have angels thank God and thank you young man for your protection❤❤😊
I thank Andrew for his situational awareness and quick reflex/reaction, nobody else deserves credit.
Praise God, thank you to Andrew for saving this little boy from harm. We need more Heroes like this.
I love how God sends his Angles to protect ❤❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was hit in the forehead with a hockey puck! I’m still here. And it happened in Cleveland, Ohio! It wasn’t at an arena like this but smaller! I was a little girl then! Back in the early 70’s!
That God that man was there for that little boy! 😍
This is what America is truly about, us being there for each other.
Omg, that smile on that child is adorable! He's so cute!
Sign that man up. Way to go.
Standing Ovation! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 🕊️ 🪽 🪽
That was such an awesome story. And I LOVED! how she put him on blast on TikTok to highlight his heroism. Just amazing! 😊
A heart warming story.
I couldn’t see how he stopped the puck. Did he catch it in his hands or stand in front to block it?
Fabulous save either way!!!!
Such a hero
He's a super hero!
Thanks my guy for saving a young life who may help us all when he grows up god bless
They need to raise the barriers.
Or use nerf pucks… bare-handing a flying puck had to hurt.
Or not sit that close when one has small children.
No she needs to stay the hell off her phone at the game
@@AZWildcat83wait her not being on a phone would have stopped the puck from going into the stands?
@@AZWildcat83and how is being off her phone going to stop a puck from being flung into the crowd at 80 miles per hour?
What a wonderful human being! A true hero❤
A true hero, those pucks are dangerous! Gorgeous 🐈 hero! UK 🇬🇧
Something like that happened to me at a Scranton Wilkes baree pa game with my friend but it smashed into my hand it was not happy moment that hurt. I wish this guy would have been there to help me💕. That’s amazing! 🥰
Ummm can we just take a moment to mention how the reporter Will Reeve looks like Christopher Reeves, a.k.a Superman, a.k.a Clark Kent, a.k.a a journalist! 😂
LOL, he certainly does look like his dad. Funny how he entered journalism.
Not me not even noticing until you pointed it out 🤦🏽♀️.
That’s because it actually is Christopher Reeve’s son!
I immediately thought the same thing! Then I saw his name and thought “wow, that’s a coincidence” … then I saw the other reply that said this is his son. Totally makes sense now. He looks exactly like his dad!
@@durrrrl3435ohh that’s crazy I thought I was being smart making the connection at home 😂😂 I thought it was too uncanny to be a coincidence tho
Andrew you save the day you a hero.
Heartening stories like these make me cry. I am such a sucker for feelgood stories. 🥰
Absolute savior!
Thx god. He's cute little boy
this dude did not hesitate at all. if he did, the boy would have left in a ambulance. he's a hero, even if he says he's not.
Was he once a hockey goalie? That was a serious save!
Andrew sweetheart.
