The young Flyers fan underwent a life-changing liver transplant.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation had planned to grant his wish of a hockey dream back in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed that from happening until now.
Following his signing, the 9-year-old forward and his family had a front-row seat to the team's practice at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees.

After practice, Zachary took a tour of the Flyers locker room and training center facilities.
