Eli Graveline, a four year old from Ontario, is getting some latent praise for getting excited about CanadaB次元官网网址檚 national sport at the mere age of two.

ThatB次元官网网址檚 because his mom, Julianne Foisy Graveline, took advantage of social mediaB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址渢hrowback ThursdayB次元官网网址� to post a video of the then-toddler practising his stick handling while in his crib.

The black-and-white footage, from 7:50 p.m. on Jan. 27, 2017, shows Eli standing in his crib, with a miniature hockey stick in hand, hitting what looks to be a puck.

In a post on her Facebook page, Julianne said while she was pregnant with her son, until he was about one year old, she wasnB次元官网网址檛 interested in having him play organized sports.

B次元官网网址淲e will do family activities, camping, sledding, fishingB次元官网网址� you name it. But we didnB次元官网网址檛 see ourselves at hockey rinks every weekend,B次元官网网址� she wrote.

B次元官网网址淓li had other plans in mind. #TBT to him at 2 playing in his crib. we were so naive.B次元官网网址�

The video has since been widely viewed, and picked up by TSN, NBC Sports and Barstool Sports.
