Without fans in the stands at Ottawa Senators games this season, a group of kids got creative to show appreciation.
Senators rookie Tim Stützle netted his first-career hat trick on Saturday in Winnipeg. On Monday, the 19-year-old German was treated to a unique salute from a group of kids in his neighbourhood.
Standing on the other side of his fence, 18 children and a few of their parents waited for Stützle to appear on his balcony before unleashing a barrage of hats into his yard.
