9-Year Old Pulls Off Michigan Goal at Tortorella's Practice

9-year old Zachary Wertz signed a two-day contact with the Philadelphia Flyers and joined them for practice today. He was recently a receipient of a live-saving liver transplant. He was afforded this oppurtunity through the Make-a-Wish foundation.

Geared up and ready for practice, young Wertz pulled off the lacrosse-style "Michigan" goal. Impressive as this is for a 9-year old, he not only executed the move to perfection, he did it at Head Coach John Tortorella's practice:

Torts has expressed his dislike for such showy moves and goals in the past, during his time with ESPN as an analyst saying "I'm just not so sure it's good for the game":

Torts also mentioned if someone on his team ever did this move, he would speak with them after the game. It seems like Zachary Wertz might get a meeting with the head coach later today.
