BY ANDREA HOUSTON – Stop what you’re doing right now and watch this adorable video taken at Saturday’s Toronto Maple Leafs-Ottawa Senators game.

A Maple Leafs fan named Alicia was escorted onto the ice wearing a blindfold. When the blindfold was removed, she looked up at the video scoreboard and read a message from her girlfriend, an Ottawa Senators fan named Christina.


“Schmaltzy music played. Out walked Christina. They embraced and had a brief conversation, as the crowd began to wise up to what was about to happen.

“The fans roared.”
