Weston Paszkiewicz passed away on November 18 while watching the hockey game surrounded by his loved ones, including his loving parents, John and Danielle.
Weston Paszkiewicz was a 10-year-old boy from Long Lake, Minnesota. He was a die-hard hockey fan, especially of the Minnesota Wild.
Earlier in 2025, Weston was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a serious form of blood cancer.
Following his battle against cancer, Make-A-Wish Foundation fulfilled Weston’s dream: he signed a one-day contract with the Minnesota Wild.
On that day, he toured the team’s locker room, skated alongside them, and even carried the Wild flag during a game.
He also pulled a fun prank with former goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
