After reaching the ice, former Navy Seal Ryan Parrot presented the service K9 to Cary Flatt, a US Army Special Forces Green Beret. Rebuilding Warriors made the union possible. The 501(c)3 is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide service K9s to honorably discharged veterans.

"Tonight was the biggest presentation we have had to date! We presented a dog to Former Green Beret CWO 3 Cary Flatt," Rebuilding Warriors said on Instagram. "We'd like to thank the @dallasstars for this remarkable opportunity and for recognizing Veterans from all eras of service. I would especially like to thank @ryanbirdmanparrott and Mary Meier of the @birdseyeviewproject for giving us such a tremendous platform to share our message. Thank you all who support us. Cary, welcome to our family!"
The Stars edged the San Jose Sharks 1-0. Patti trained extensively for the stunt.
