LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The draft picks and their families weren't the only ones celebrating at the Sphere on Friday.
Before the NHL Draft officially began, one girl received a very special honor in her hometown of Las Vegas.
Izzy Woodward was honored as the very first "Hockey Fights Cancer" Draft Hero.
Izzy is a self-proclaimed VGK superfan and is now cancer-free after battling neuroblastoma three separate times.
She received her own custom jersey with the name "Princess Warrior."
