12-Year-Old Ontario Boy's Touching Moment With Hockey Stick Caught On Tape

Earlier this week, Victoria Heaney posted a short clip to Twitter of her 12-year-old brother Matthew's incredibly touching moment with the hockey stick left at the family's front door to honour the victims of the Humboldt tragedy.

The Whitby, Ontario boy returned home from school on Wednesday (April 11th), and the moment (23 seconds you'll never forget) was captured by the family's video doorbell...

My family left a hockey stick on our porch for the humboldt broncos, and our ring doorbell caught this video of my little brother looking at the stick when he came home from school. Watch until the end, heartbreaking. #humboldtstrong pic.twitter.com/6I9Zu6gF9V
