Cam Ward has had a lot of special moments and memories in PNC Arena.
But never one quite like the one Friday night, when the Carolina Hurricanes goalie had his son on the ice with him.
In his many years with the Canes, Ward has won a Stanley Cup. Been given the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Played in an NHL All-Star game in the arena. Made some spectacular saves.
But the sight of seeing Nolan Ward, 7, skating out before the game against the New York Islanders, joining him for the playing of the national anthem, was an emotional one for Ward.
