Joe Thornton, Sharks help Selena Urban live out her Make-A-Wish dream

The Sharks might be in the midst of a tough season, but it pales in comparison to what Selena Urban has been through.

Urban, 16, is a renal transplant patient and a lifelong fan of the Sharks. Her dream has always been to meet the team, and thanks to the Sharks Foundation and Make-A-Wish Bay Area, San Jose was able to make it happen Friday.

Urban's special day, which featured countless ear-to-ear smiles and an ample amount of happy tears, began with a superstar greeting from the Sharks' front office. Soon after, she made her way out to the ice at SAP Center, where San Jose was positioned for its team photo.
