The little boy who was visited by two of the Nashville Predators during their playoff run has passed away.

Trip Phinney, of Murfreesboro, battled against cancer all his life. A bright moment in this hockey fan's life was a visit by Predators' Roman Josi (YO-see) and Mike Fisher, just after game five of the playoffs. They brought him a signed hockey stick and a puck.
