Former New York Rangers defenseman Victor Mancini has quickly become a fan favorite in Vancouver. Video caught in Rogers Arena showing him make time to meet the fan, Greyson who bought the stick after the team's win against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday.
Victor Mancini has been in the Vancouver Canucks organization for a short time and has found himself a fan favorite already.
He's played seven games for the Canucks and tallied a point on March 12th against the Calgary Flames.
Mancini has found his way into the hearts of hockey fans everywhere, as he met with a fan named Greyson who bought one of his game-used sticks and the moment went viral on X.
The moment caught in real time as Greyson was in awe of Mancini who took time out of his day to meet and greet with the fan and his family.
Note Greyson's reaction to the stick, which itself is taller than him.
Mancini reached out to the family and invited them out to the Canucks game against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday.
He'd make the occasion special for Greyson with an autograph on his favorite stick. In return Greyson would gift Mancini a stuffed moose in honor of the defenseman's nickname and would take part in a quiz with numerous questions from Greyson himself.
Mancini was a part of the trade for JT Miller, for whic the Rangers sent Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and a 1st-round pick to the Canucks in return.
Mancini seems to have taken to his new home well looking at this new footage.
