Chris Henderickson met T.J. Oshie as part of his Make-A-Wish grant.
Ever since St. Louis Blues player and 2014 Olympian T.J. Oshie played
for the University of North Dakota, 14-year-old Chris Hendrickson has
cheered him on. Hendrickson, who hails from North Dakota, has Morquio syndrome and
stopped growing when he was just 4 years old because the condition
causes his cells to become deformed. Through the Make-A-Wish program, Hendrickson got to meet his hero,
play hockey with him, attend a Blues’ game, go into the locker room,
fist-bump the players as they took the ice, sit in the broadcast booth,
and even ride the Zamboni.
