Callahan surprises young Rangers fan at Rockefeller Center ice rink

The Rockefeller Center ice rink in Manhattan is always a magical place around the holidays, but on Wednesday it held some extra charm for some New York Rangers fans.

During the Rangers fan favorites alumni skate at the rink, former team captain and current ESPN analyst Ryan Callahan surprised a young fan, Dylan, with tickets to Thursday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres at Madison Square Garden.

Dylan came to the rink dressed to impress, wearing a signed Rangers jersey and full hockey gear. He caught Callahan’s eye during the skate.

When Callahan asked Dylan if he was going to the game, he said yes, much to the surprise of his dad.

“We are? Not yet,” said his dad. “We still have to find tickets.”

Callahan, who played for the Rangers for eight seasons, took care of that, handing them a pair for Thursday’s game.

“I like it,” said Dylan after getting the tickets.

They then posed in front of the iconic Rockefeller Christmas tree for a photo.

No doubt Dylan and his dad are going to enjoy the game tonight.
