NHL star surprises young Ont. cancer patient and inspires new face mask fundraiser

Lukah Labrecque in the Tyler Bertuzzi face mask being sold to support Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer. Jul. 8/20 While he was expecting to step outside to play hockey with his big brother, a few other players wanted to join in. Among them was NHL star and Sudbury's own Tyler Bertuzzi.

Nine-year-old Lukah was diagnosed with a brain tumour in November 2019. The devastating diagnosis came just a few months after his aunt faced a similar situation. Following his most recent scans earlier this month, that is exactly the advice given to the family by physicians.Despite the recent positive outlook, the last year has not been an easy time for the Labrecque family. That's when friend and community activist Kim Brouzes decided that a morale boost was in order.

"What we did was we recreated Tyler Bertuzzi's smile, missing the one tooth, so it is a smile that you can't miss and can't replace," laughed Brouzes, while wearing one herself.
