10-year-old boy who signed 1-day contract with Minnesota Wild passes away

The 10-year-old boy who used his Make-A-Wish request to become a member of the Minnesota Wild has died following his battle with cancer.

Weston Paszkiewicz, the boy who captured the hearts of Minnesota Wild fans, passed away Tuesday night while watching a hockey game with his family, his mother Danielle Paszkiewicz said in a CaringBridge post.

“He has completed his battle with cancer and as our kids say, is now cancer free,” Danielle said. “Weston, you are the most courageous, strong, resilient, incredible person ever and we love you forever.”

Weston became a member of the Minnesota Wild earlier this year signing a one-day contract with the team as part of his Make-A-Wish in October.

The team asked hockey families to leave a stick outside on Wednesday in remembrance of Weston.

“We are devastated to learn of Weston’s passing,” the Wild wrote in a statement. “He was such a courageous young man that will be greatly missed by everyone that had the opportunity to know him. Our hearts are with his family and friends, and all those that were impacted by Weston’s brave fight.”

Weston’s battle with cancer began almost a year ago, when around Christmas 2024, he wasn’t feeling well. Following visits to the hospital, Weston was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and began treatment.
