Jocelyn DesRoches brought her two daughter Charlie and Emmy to see famed hockey players like Dion Phaneuf.

“Seeing the smiles on these kids facing is a mommy win,” said Jocelyn.

Phaneuf with Erik Karlsson are among the sisters’ favourites.

“I’m really excited to see the practice. When I found out we were coming here this morning to red carpet arrival I’m pretty sure I was screaming. I think we all screamed,” said Charlie.

Meanwhile, Colby Smith has never seen an NHL game but that’s about to change.

“I’m really looking forward to it. The Senators are one of my favourite teams,” he said, smiling with a noticeable autograph placed on his forehead.
