Little “Fly Girl” Is Going to the Finals

Team's tiny expert steals hearts online, becomes guest of the team

Natalie D'Alfonso's Flyers knowledge has earned her a trip to the Stanley Cup Final.

The 3-year-old phenom from Northeast Philly has been endeared by Flyers fans ever since her mom posted a video to YouTube of her reciting the team's roster.

In the video, Natalie adorably rattles off the line -- name and player without any help from mommy.

Fans from all over loved the video so much that they started an online petition to have the video played at the first home game of the series.

Greg Weiss, who lives in LA and doesn't know the D'Alfonsos, started a Facebook group declaring that the video had to be shared at the game.

Well, now he and the other 500-plus believers have helped Natalie get there.

NBC Philadelphia shared Natalie's story and the online movement with Comcast-Spetacor -- the team's owners -- and they fell in love.

"Comcast-Spectacor Chairman Ed Snider was so moved by the video he has invited Natalie and her parents to be his guests for Game Four on Friday night," spokesperson Ike Richman said.

When asked how he felt about helping get Natalie to the game, Weiss says he's amazed.

"I'm overwhelmed! She's an amazing little girl and a true Flyer fan! I'm sure she'll bring them good luck," he said over Facebook.

Look out for more on Natalie as the Fly Boys come home next week.
