Before Laila Anderson captured the hearts of the hockey world during the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, there was Arianna Dougan.

Ari, as she liked to be called, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she was three years old. She battled off and on for eight years, but she became a household name in April 2017 when she was the guest of Vladimir Tarasenko on a two-game road trip with the team.
