Canadian boy 'Coach Cal' brings Ellen to tears during speech

A Canadian boy who gained attention for giving a passionate pre-game hockey speech brought Ellen DeGeneres to tears during an appearance on her talk show.

Callan Perks, from Lakefield, Ont., won the opportunity in November to give the pre-game speech to his hometown OHL team Peterborough Petes. 

He was selected by the team as part of their 'Next Gen' day, where kids sign single-day contracts to see what it's like to be part of a professional hockey league.

The pre-game speech to his hockey idols racked up hundreds of thousands of views online – and even gained the attention of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
