Last weekend, Olivia Lettich, an 11-year-old cancer survivor, was given the amazing opportunity to watch her beloved Calgary Flames for the first time.
Olivia was left with only peripheral vision due to the treatment she received following her diagnosis of a rare form of eye cancer. But thanks to an incredible new technology developed by eSight, and the Flames' generosity, she was able to watch the team she loves like few have before.
Olivia sat on the bench during warmups, stood with the anthem singer, caught the 5-2 win over the New York Islanders from the seats, and then met with Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, and the rest of her favorite players in the dressing room afterward.

Here's what she told the Calgary Herald's Eric Francis about walking into her backyard after putting the eSight glasses on for the first time:
"I could see every little detail in the leaves, and I could read signs - it was so cool.
"I cried in my bed I was so happy. I was just so happy. It changed my life."
Outstanding.
