-- Christian Cirese and Cam Fowler have known each other for about 20 minutes,
but the NHL player and the 8-year-old Orange County resident have already formed
a bond that is as heartwarming as it is unexpected.The Anaheim Ducks defenseman
peers intently at racks of socks and shoes in a local Target.What size does
Christian wear?Does he like this brand? The color?If not, they can look at
another, Fowler insists as they move from aisle to aisle.Later, while Fowlers
girlfriend, Jasmine Maggard, and Christians 17-year-old sister, Heather, are
checking out gifts for Heather, a high school senior, Fowler waits patiently
outside the changing room door to make sure all of the articles of clothing
picked out by and for Christian fit him perfectly.Fowler just turned 25. He does
not have any kids. He has two younger sisters who are in their teens but,
generally speaking, doesnt usually have much to do with youngsters.So he was
surprised to find himself so immersed in the experience of shopping with his new
pals.I ended up having more of a relationship with them maybe than I expected,
Fowler said. They kind of opened up, and Christian was making me laugh the whole
time. What was cool to me was the relationship that Heather and Christian had.
He was picking out clothes for her, she was making sure he was OK, fixing his
hair and stuff. That was very cool.Maggard agreed. It was like we had known
these kids forever. But we just met them, she added.This outing is the first
time that Fowler, the 12th overall pick in the 2010 draft, has taken part in the
Ducks annual shopping excursion with The Wooden Floor, a nonprofit organization
in Orange County that provides after-school programs to help low-income kids
prepare for higher education through the arts.By the end of the day, Fowler is
sharing tips with Heather about how she might relieve stress before a dance
performance, and Christian is holding a microphone for an interview Fowler does
with the Ducks in-house media group.I told her I listen to some music. I like to
take deep breaths, Fowler said. It really seemed to resonate with her.In some
ways Heather and Christian are unusual among the kids connected to The Wooden
Floor. Theirs is a two-parent family, and their father works two jobs to support
the familys four children. All six members of their family share a two-bedroom
apartment in the Anaheim area.Next spring, Heather -- who is in her eighth year
at the program -- will graduate from Valencia High School in Placentia and, with
assistance from The Wooden Floor, will attend college. She will be the first in
her family to do so.At first it was definitely scary, she said of the prospect
of heading off to college. But now Im excited. Im planning to go to a community
college first and then transfer into a four-year [program]. The medical field
has always been my favorite thing, so I want go into that.NHL players have a
long history of giving back to their respective communiities, and frankly, their
efforts often fly under the radar.dddddddddddd But if you peek behind the
curtain and see how these events come together and the impact they have, youll
learn quickly that oftentimes its not the financial commitment of players --
although that certainly is important -- but the investment of time, effort and,
on a day like this, emotion, that shows how meaningful these kinds of moments
can be for everyone involved.Us doing it as a team is very cool, but I think
that should be the back end of the story, Fowler said. It should be about the
kids and the experience for them. So my main focus was on them today.In some
ways, the Target store in this Irvine shopping mall had the look of a demolition
derby-turned-scavenger hunt as the kids from The Wooden Floor paired up with
Ducks players and their wives or girlfriends and other volunteers to fill out
shopping lists that included necessities -- and, of course, a few toys.Other
shoppers craned their necks to see what was causing the commotion, as red
plastic Target shopping carts brimming with goodies careened around the store,
piloted by?Kevin Bieksa, Ryan Kesler, John Gibson, Jakob Silfverberg and
Fowler.The shirts, shoes, Lego Star Wars and Nerf weaponry that ended up in the
various shopping carts might well be the only gifts these children get this
holiday season, said The Wooden Floors CEO Dawn Reese, who also noted that the
shopping spree and the programs holiday party are sometimes the only fun
activity on many of the kids holiday schedules.More than 90 percent of the 375
kids The Wooden Floor helps annually with tutoring and college-prep assistance
-- as well as crisis intervention and counseling six days a week -- come from
low-income or extremely low-income families.They have to navigate a lot of
challenges, especially toward higher-education goals that we have for them,
Reese said.And so, sure, getting some cool things is a part of the equation.But
will the kids remember the Batman caps or will they recall instead veteran
Antoine Vermette regaling them with stories of having to cover his ears and eyes
because former teammate Anton Volchenkov insisted on watching horror movies all
night long when they were on the road?[The players] really uplift them and
really empower them. We do that too, but this is just something special, when a
stranger goes into your life and puts focus and attention on you. Theyre kind of
like, Wow, whats this all about, Reese said. It makes you feel very proud, so we
hope that pride then follows them in all parts of their life when they leave
today.As the kids get ready to jump back on the bus that ferried them to the
mall, there are hugs and pictures and autographs from the players. Its been only
a couple of hours since they met, but somehow it seems like theyve been friends
much, much longer. ' ' '
