During previous games they'd been to, Heather had taken notice of where the players get off the ice after warmups and by Thursday, she'd figured out exactly where to go to give Carter the best shot at seeing Rinne up close.
"As soon as they came out [for warmups] Carter started screaming for Pekka," she said. "I'm like, 'Buddy, he can't hear you right now, you have to wait,' so he spent the whole time like, 'Where's Pekka? Where is he?' And I was pointing him out the whole time," she said.
Carter continued to track Rinne through the warmup and then the goalie stopped on the ice nearby.
"Carter was banging on the glass and yelling his name and he kind of turned around, saw Carter and waved at him and [Carter] freaked out," she said. "And then when [Rinne] finally came in, I said, 'Carter, there he is!' and that's when I started videoing.
"He was literally shaking, he was so excited."
The whole interaction lasted only a couple seconds but it's safe to say that impression is going to last for a long, long time.
