Islanders forward Josh Ho-Sang knows how to deal with a demanding fan at an autograph session. Just draw whatever she wants.

In one of the cutest fan-player encounters ever, a young girl requests more than just a signature on her jersey. She wanted a heart.
Ho-Sang, never one to be caught off the guard, told the young fan he already drew a heart "and a smiley face" on the jersey below his signature.

Still, another request loomed. The young girl, clad in her own blue Islanders jersey, different from the one Ho-Sang was signing, asked him to customized the smiley face with "a little bit of black hair."
A smiling Ho-Sang obliged. Another fan went home happy.
