The tweet included a photo of Kade sporting a Toronto Maple Leafs shirt with his cake that featured an edible iced photo of players John Tavares and Mitchell Marner.

The social media post quickly went viral and caught the attention of the team, as well both star centers, who hinted that there would be an even bigger birthday surprise in store.

\"Happy 11th Birthday Kade! All your friends on the team look forward to celebrating with you. I’m hearing it’s going to be quite the surprise,\" Tavares wrote on Twitter in response to his dad's request.

Marner also tweeted the young fan and wrote, \"Wanted to wish my friend Kade a Happy 11th Birthday! Your friends from the Maple Leafs have a surprise gift coming your way!\"
