No. 88 dropped by the Chicago Stallions' practice, giving the entire youth team brand new Bauer 1X sticks.

“Patrick Kane is one of my favorite players and I love the Blackhawks,” Stallions player Gianni Baglivo told the Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s a kid’s dream to play in the NHL when you play hockey, so this is like a dream.”

“Just to see the excitement on their face and how far along that goes with the kids today — it means the world," Kane said to CSN Chicago. ”It was fun to do, fun to see their reactions, they were all excited and surprised.”
