flames backlund t shirt

Who needs a museum? A work of art as fantastic as Tillie Backlund's needs to be on display as widely as possible for all to see.

The young adorable daughter of Calgary Flames forward Mikael Backlund drew a pretty portrait of her dad wearing a red Flames jersey. The incredible likeness was beloved by not only her father, but all of his teammates.

On Thursday, Tillie handed out T-shirts of her great work to the entire Flames team.

Reactions from the team did not vary - they were all blown away by the special gift.

Tillie had smiles and warm greetings for all of the Flames, but saved the biggest hug for her dad.

The Flames organization also clearly recognizes talent when they see it, as Tillie's shirt will be on sale at the team store with proceeds benefitting Kids Cancer Care of Alberta.

After handing out the works of art to the players as the came off the practice ice, Tillie laid on the floor and exclaimed "Now I'm exhausted!"

Yes, even the most talented of artists need a nap once in a while.
