06:30: Watch Jared McCann's face light up thinking about getting a Patrick Marleau signed puck as a kid.
McCann said he went to an Arizona Coyotes game as a kid and they were playing the Sharks, which is where he got to meet Marleau and San Jose Sharks forward Joe Thornton.
McCann's parents are moving, he said, so when the puck turned up his dad made sure to send him a picture of it.
When the Stanley Cup Qualifiers begin August 1, McCann could potentially be on the same line as Marleau.
"It's pretty cool to be on his line," McCann said.
