What makes it fun is watching the various dads react to their son's plays. You can tell they love it. Usually catch them on camera giving high-fives to other dads too.

Yeah. It's a cool thing. A bunch of teams have been doing this for a while. I think the Red Wings started doing father road trips back in 2005 or so. It's good stuff.
