Wild fan finds net from center ice to win season tickets, goes big on celly

Faced with difficult shot, fan fires it through with ease

It's preseason for everyone, except Colin.

A Minnesota Wild fan was plucked from the stands on Saturday during a preseason game against the Chicago Blackhawks at Grand Casino Arena and was given a chance to win season tickets.

All he had to do was find the back of the net from center ice. The catch? A full board covering the entire net except one puck-sized hole in the bottom center.

The task didn't faze our hero.

Colin stepped up wearing his alternate home green Joel Eriksson Ek jersey, showed off a little stickhandling and fired it through.

And, as the fans in attendance went nuts, our guy hit a sick glove-drag celly, sliding through the faceoff circle on one knee (while in sneakers and jeans no less) then got up and leapt into the boards.

Honestly after that performance, don't just give him the tickets, sign him to a PTO!
