Cole Caufield goes viral for interaction with young fan

The Montreal Canadiens are counting on young star forward Cole Caufield to help them navigate theory their rebuilding process and to be a major piece of their franchise from here on out, and he's certainly delivered fans plenty of exciting moments over the course of his still young NHL career. 

But sometimes, it's the things that occur off the field of play that can catch the most attention for professional athletes. Of course, we've all heard all too many negative reports of various athletes from different Leagues, but sometimes a positive story makes its way onto social media - the latter of which happened to feature Caufield for his incredible recent interaction with a young fan. 

Sometimes, we see athletes completely blow off fans who would love nothing more than a few words or an autograph, but Caufield made sure that he wasn't one of those.

Per RDS journalist Luc Gélinas, Translated from French: 

"Before the game, I was going to the mobile of production of RDS accompanied by Logan, 11 years old. We cross Caufield, his jaw drops. He knows that he has to move around without disturbing the players. Caufield, who was running, stops and says "Hey bud, do you want a picture?"

An absolutely incredible gesture by Caufield that no doubt this youngster will remember for the rest of his life!
