NSU Athletics Assists Make-A-Wish Florida; Child becomes “Striker Boy” and “saves” NSU Soccer Complex

rp_primary_Striker_Boy make a wish

The Nova Southeastern University Athletic Department assisted Make-A-Wish South Florida Friday by taking part in nine-year old Jaylen Hyde’s wish to become the superhero, Striker Boy. The event, which took Jaylen all around Broward County, made a stop at NSU last Friday, where Striker Boy needed to dismantle a Make-A-Wish bomb at the NSU Soccer Complex during the game. The Sharks’ men’s soccer team staged the game alongside several coaches, with other NSU student-athletes and several members of the NSU community cheering from the stands.

After dismantling the make-believe Make-A-Wish bomb, Striker Boy was greeted by the team and took off from a helicopter waiting for him on the practice field. Hundreds of fans were in attendance to cheer Striker Boy as he went off to save a burning building and arrest his arch nemesis, Sneaky Pete.
