<div><p>Pittsburgh Penguins fan and newly minted police officer, Jimmy Mains was on his way to a game last week when he was stopped by a homeless man, Rob, asking for some spare change. Unfortunately, Mains didn't have any money on him but instead of walking away like many folks do, he did something that Rob wouldn't soon forget. </p><p>Mains offered Rob the extra ticket he had and the pair spent the evening together at the Penguins vs Tampa Bay Lightning game. Check out how happy they look!</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/penguins-fans.JPG" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/penguins-fans_GH_content_550px.JPG 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Facebook</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>Mains told <a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/penguins-fan-gives-extra-ticket-to-homeless-man/c-287563774">NHL.com</a> that Rob couldn't actually believe he was going to the game,"I don't think it set in with him that we were going to the game until we went through the gate and through the metal detectors.

He continued, "During the anthem, he stood there and sang every word," Mains said. "He was yelling and cheering the whole game.
