Maybe now that he’s got the jersey (autographed to boot), his dad won’t mistake who little Jakub Voracek is ever again.
This is the Vine post that started it all:
Then on Thursday, the little guy was at the Wells Fargo Center to watch his favourite player and the Flyers battle the visiting Florida Panthers:
Jakub Voracek (the real No. 93 for the Flyers) saw the sign and acknowledged his biggest little fan.
According to the Twitter account of this kid’s father, Voracek’s girlfriend gave the adoring fan a signed jersey, complete with “I’M VORACEK” written on the back.
Perhaps in a case of instant karma, Voracek scored his team’s first goal of the night after handing over the jersey to his miniature doppelganger.
Note to Claude Giroux: THIS is how you’re supposed to autograph someone’s sweater.
