ESPN+ Originals
E:60 presents A Love Story
Available to stream now on ESPN+, E:60 presents A Love Story, reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap, which tells the story of Brianna LaFontaine and Randel McCoy, who grew up just a few miles from each other, but in different worlds, on New York’s Long Island. She was raised in affluence with an NHL superstar, Pat LaFontaine, as her father, while he was raised working-class by his single mother and then, after she died when he was seven, by his grandmother. But when they met, they became one, and they were in love and inseparable when suddenly McCoy was diagnosed with ALS. The life they imagined together would be impossible, but their love for each other would prove indestructible. For details including game times and the most up-to-date schedule, please visit espn.com/nhl/schedule.
