NEWINGTON–A 7-year-old girl from Newington may be heartbroken over a piece of recent sports news, but she might be recovering a bit after a surprising twist.
On Sunday Josh Krusewski, a member of the sales staff at Billings Sports in Meriden, tweeted a letter that his 7-year-old daughter, Kailey, wrote to Cam Talbot.
Talbot, a former Connecticut Whale player, has played for the New York Rangers on-and-off since 2011, and full time since the end of 2013. However, on Saturday Talbot was traded to the Edmonton Oilers.
Kailey, a big Rangers fan, and an especially big Talbot fan, was heartbroken, and wrote him a letter, which her father posted on his Twitter account. Talbot saw the tweet, and retweeted it, making Kailey an instant Internet star!
Here are larger images of the letter that Kailey wrote:
