Watch: Blackhawks star helps young girl skate for first time

The Chicago Blackhawks have won two of the last five Stanley Cups - and they continue to win the hearts of young NHL fans. First it was captain Jonathan Toews buying Girl Scout cookies from a 5-year-old and now it's three-time All-Star Duncan Keith making one young girl's dream come true.

In the heartwarming video, Keith introduces us to Cammy, who was born without the ability to walk or speak. But that doesn't stop the young girl from smiling and communicating with the help of a computer.

As Keith explains: "When Cammy heard 'What's your goal?' her parents said nothing would make her happier than to score a goal with an assist from her favorite player: me."

And so the two-time Norris Trophy winner made that improbable dream a reality.

Cammy was outfitted with a Blackhawks jersey, helmet and skates. With the help of a harness, Keith and Cammy were able to skate in tandem on a breakaway toward the goal. After a few nifty moves, the duo scored a goal and Cammy squealed with delight.

"You want to keep skating, don't you?" Keith asks Cammy.

It's a safe bet that the answer is yes.
