3-year-old boy with cancer to attend Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup final

Hockey stick in hand, three-year-old Liam Shayton Awashish was jumping for joy in his Carey Price-decorated bedroom Friday morning.

The boy from Mashteuiatsh, an Innu community in Quebec's SaguenayLac-Saint-Jean region, who has been getting treatment for cancer since February, found out he'll be watching the Montreal Canadiens vie for the Stanley Cup at the Bell Centre.

His wish came true thanks to Jose Gagnon, co-founder of Clowns Thrapeutiques Saguenay. The non-profit is committed to boosting young long-term patients' self-esteem.

Knowing his love for the team, Gagnon posted to social media, asking her network to help Awashish watch a game in Montreal. And within 40 minutes, ric Larouche, a Chicoutimi businessman, offered tickets.

Pamela Duciaume, Liam's mother, couldn't believe her son's wish would ever materialize, let alone in less than an hour.

"I'm crying from happiness," Duciaumewrote in a post. "My little warrior really deserves [to watch the Habs play], it wasn't easy, these past few months."

A request has been made to the Montreal Canadiens for Awashish to meet Price at the game.
