Johnny Gaudreau's baby gets incredible 1st birthday surprise from NHL fans.

It is moments like these that truly make you proud to be a hockey fan.

On Saturday night, during a meeting between the Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, fans were treated to a heartwarming moment when Johnny Gaudreau's wife Meredith and his young son appeared on the jumbotron in the middle of the arena.

As it turns out this was a very special night for this young member of the Gaudreau family, as this was Johnny's son's first ever birthday. Fans in Nationwide Arena were informed of this fact and were encouraged to sing a very special happy birthday to the young man, a request that of course everyone was more than happy to oblige with.

The result was a rather beautiful rendition of happy birthday for "Baby Johnny" and perhaps the best part of it all was the fact that the young man seemed to be absolutely thrilled with all the people singing around him, appearing to be very happy the entire time the crowd in Columbus was serenading him.

Here's a look at a video of the entire thing courtesy of the Columbus Blue Jackets orgnaization:
