Bravo San Jose Sharks!

The San Jose Sharks pulled one of the classiest moves by signing Sam Tageson to a one day contract.

Sam 17, a life long Sharks fan has a heart condition that is supposed to limit his activity, but Sam apparently hasn't let his condition slow him down and apparently nobody can keep him from doing what he loves.

From the San Jose Mercury:

Tageson has been diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, having been born with two heart chambers, not four. But against the advice of doctors, he has been playing hockey since age 6.

"It's supposed to be debilitating," said Lisa Mills, his mother. "They said he would be the child that would never ride a bicycle, never do any of that. He rides a skateboard. He plays hockey. The doctors all through the years have said give him golf clubs, take the hockey stick away. We tried. It doesn't work."

Eventually the doctors changed their approach.

"Now, they've given up telling him no," Mills said. "They say he'll stop when he knows it's time."

Here's a video of Sam's awesome day with the Sharks:
