Levi then gave Campbell his hockey card, which Campbell didn't get was a gift at first.
"Once we let him know it was his to keep, you could see Jack lit right up," said Grant.
Campbell being such a amazing person would asked Levi to sign the hockey card for him. He told the young fan:
"He was going to keep the card to bring him good luck in games."
Grant said "he's always thought of Campbell as a stand-up player, but their interaction exceeded all his expectations. Levi, who plays goalie for his club team, now knows which player he aspires to be like.
"Levi and me both being Toronto Maple Leafs fans, I thought it was a cool opportunity to meet up with Jack, introduce Levi to a professional goaltender and someone he can look up to and watched a lot," Grant said.
