13-year-old DJ Daniel, a courageous young boy battling terminal cancer, has issued a powerful and emotional plea — one that now echoes across social media:

“Hey, does anybody know Sidney Crosby?”

DJ, already known for his strength and inspiring spirit, was previously honored as an honorary Secret Service agent in recognition of his bravery. But the young hero isn’t done making an impact. His next mission? To organize a charity hockey game to raise funds for children fighting cancer — a dream rooted in compassion, love, and the hope to leave a legacy that will help others.

And at the heart of this dream stands one name: Sidney Crosby.

A Dream Fueled by Hope and Hockey

DJ’s message came through a tear-jerking video, shared by his family and supporters, where he expressed his wish to unite the hockey world for a cause close to his heart. With shining eyes and a voice full of determination, DJ asked for help in reaching the hockey legend.

“I want to help kids like me,” he said, clutching his Pittsburgh Penguins jersey. “Sidney Crosby is my hero. If he sees this… maybe he can help.”

The video has gone viral, quickly capturing the attention of fans, athletes, and celebrities around the world. Thousands have shared the clip, tagging Crosby and urging the Penguins captain to answer DJ’s call.

Fans Rally Behind DJ

Hockey fans — regardless of team loyalty — are rallying behind DJ in full force, uniting in the hope that Crosby will respond.

“This kid has more heart than the entire league combined,” one fan tweeted.

“Let’s make sure this message reaches Sid,” another posted. “He won’t say no. He can’t.”

Charity organizations, pediatric cancer foundations, and members of the NHL community have also expressed their support, with some offering to help organize the game and ensure DJ’s vision becomes reality.

Will Sidney Crosby Answer?

As of now, Sidney Crosby has not made a public statement, but sources close to the Penguins organization say the message has reached Crosby’s camp, and they are “aware and deeply moved” by DJ’s story.

If Crosby steps forward — as many believe he will — it could turn this young boy’s final wish into something far bigger: a national moment of unity, compassion, and purpose.

More Than Just a Game

For DJ Daniel, this charity hockey game isn’t just about the sport. It’s about giving back, lifting up others facing their own battles, and showing the world that even in the darkest moments, hope and kindness shine through.

“Even if I can’t beat this,” DJ said softly in his video, “maybe I can help someone else who still can.”

The world is watching. The hockey community is listening. Now the question remains: will Sidney Crosby answer the call of a young warrior with a heart bigger than the game itself?
