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.!
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. 😢

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.
@@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.
@@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
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.
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.
@4-Methylaminorex How u gon drop that big ass word? Yet not know that all humans have genes from all over the earth...even neanderthal DNA. My guy....Your ancestors were out here gettin down n dirty with early hominids. Same with mine, same with literally anyone.
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!
That little boy’s face is so sweet! Oh my goodness! The way he smiles makes a person turn to mush! Thank goodness for that young man saving that sweet boy from a very tragic accident! What a sweet mother looking for that young man too! We need more positive stories like this!
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.
I have to smile. What appeals to me is how the mom wanted to find the hero of the story and express her gratitude. How she reached out on social media and it all cascaded into everyone being brought together at the stadium for the ceremonial puck drop.
@@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.
He deserves ALL the best of attention and good vibes going his way. I am obsessed with good hearted people. May he be an inspiration to everyone. That sweet little cutie pie has no idea of what almost befell him... that's awesome. ❤
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.
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.
A true and brave hero. He had no thought for himself at all. His one focused instant thought was to protect the little boy from for sure predictable harm. While we are not aware of the life he’s led, I’m willing to bet he’s done many good works.
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!
Never get distracted by a cell phone when sitting in a “danger zone” at a Hockey game. The puck is very hard rubber and weighs 6 Oz! This rule of keeping your eye on the game also applies when sitting in the foul ball high risk zones at a baseball game. But honestly, a baseball is unlikely to kill, whereas all bets are off with a hockey puck. If it were to strike an unwary spectator in “just the right spot” on their head, it would be “goodnight nurse.” If you have a child sitting next to you, your responsibility is great.
Hockey puck weighs similar to a baseball (around 5-6 oz) and can travel as fast as a very fast pitch if not faster when struck. The child could've had severe brain injury if not death but the guy caught the dang thing with his bare hands and still gives it to the boy. What a hero!
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! 🥰

Found video about her
ua-cam.com/video/fyoT_2Ghlcg/v-deo.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.
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.

More incredible than what?
You can tell he just looks like a regular good dude.
What a hero!
A true hero thank goodness he prevented a tragedy from happening
Thank the LORD! Whew!😅
That's a man that instinctively went into protection mode of a child. That is a great man.
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.. 🫡

He’s a good man to have around‼️💯💪👍🙂🙏
One can not save the whole world, but can make a difference in any given moment nonetheless. Best hockey highlight of the year.
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! ❤
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 ❤
Angels are EVERYWHERE!!!God Bless Him
The innocent of the child wams my heart
It should warm all our hearts. I love good news. ❤
Good news for once, God bless this quick Man!! I'm so glad baby boy didn't get hurt!! ❤❤

Great Save, Andrew. He 's the definition of "Angels in the stands". Thank you for a positive outcome.
Lovely story and Andrew is a total stud! 😍
Thank you uncle Andrew ❤
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.

Every part of this story is great, wish the news was always like this. It put some sunshine in my day for real.

Yes, Brittanie Cecil. She died two days before her 14th birthday in 2002.😢
A few years?? We’re you in a coma recently lmao?
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 🧡.

Glad he wasn’t busy on TikTok, saw the puck coming, and saved the day.
TikTok, LOL!!
I hate that app
That was such an awesome story. And I LOVED! how she put him on blast on TikTok to highlight his heroism. Just amazing! 😊
So cute! Mom is lovely
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?

He’s my hero too! Men like him are always in the right place at the right time to save the day!!!!
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
