LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Two Vegas Golden Knights fans are pulling at the hearts of millions.
For John Secco, it was just a routine day. He was grocery shopping and preparing for the biggest VGK game of the season. They've been Knights fans since 2017, listening to all of the games on their radio and on TV.
"We never missed a game," Secco said. “Watch it on TV when it comes on. We're ready. we know it's coming.”
When John was approached at Walmart by a stranger asking him if he was a hockey fan and who his favorite team is, he thought it was someone selling VGK shirts.
Instead, it was a popular TikToker who gave the couple two front row tickets to the big game.

“That was the first hockey game that we have ever seen in person," Secco said.
John and his wife, Charlyn, met his favorite player Wayne Gretzky. Best of all, they got to see his favorite team win the cup!
“Makes you a little shaky, Secco said. “I said, oh, my god, Charlyn, you know, and he comes over and he says, hi, John, Wayne Gretzky. I said, "I'm aware of who you are.”
It was an unforgettable event that John and Charlyn shared. Now, they are working on creating a VGK room with their gear from that night.
