The family has been following the Belfast team for the past seven seasons after searching for something to do together.
Yvette said at birth the family was told Ethan was a "normal baby", but at 18 months he was not crawling or sitting.A blood test later confirmed the diagnosis. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy gradually causes weakness and loss of muscle function. Explaining the family's love for the ice, Yvette said: "It started with us just looking for something to do as a family, Ethan wasn't in the chair full time at that point but he was partially using it for long distances.The family has travelled to places such as Nashville, Pittsburgh and Atlanta to watch games.Ethan has also started to lose the power in his arms and is exploring assisted technology to help him in school.
"The Belfast Giants team and staff have been absolutely fantastic, they go above and beyond to make sure the kids are looked after and get what they want from meeting the team," said Yvette.
