It all started with a simple tweet when Calgary Flames fan Jess Taylor put out a message about taking her British grandmother to her very first hockey game in the city.
Taylor and her grandmother Pamela Dawber, a.k.a. Grandma Pam, share a special bond that crosses continents. While Taylor grew up in Calgary and Dawber across the pond in England, the pair always make sure to never miss their Sunday video chats. And during those calls, Grandma Pam constantly thought about one thing.
“People just saying, ‘Hey, I don’t have seats, but I hope you have a great time.’ And people from England saying so excited that we have an English representative at the dome for Tuesday… and that was really, really special.”When game-time arrived, it was a Flames employee who saved the day and gifted Taylor a pair of tickets for Tuesday night so Grandma Pam could get the “full Saddledome experience,” a touching sight for Taylor, a die-hard Flames fan.
Click to share quote on Twitter: "I thought that the people of Calgary were so nice, so lovely. I was just really touched."“I said to Jess, ‘Why are they not stopping the fight?’ I said, ‘Why is the referee still? Just do something!’ And she’s laughing because I’ve never seen that before,” Dawber recalled.
