A 10-year-old girl was spat on by a Los Angeles Kings fan while she was wearing an Edmonton Oilers jersey at the teams' playoff matchup in Southern California, Edmonton winger Evander Kane says.

Cecily Eklund, who was diagnosed with brain cancer at age six, attended Game 3 on Friday at Crypto.com Arena as a guest of Kane and the Ben Stelter Fund, as she has grown a friendship with Kane since her treatment.

However, she was subjected to "gross and completely unacceptable" behavior by at least one Kings fan, Kane claimed.

"My dear friend [Cecily] got to go on an amazing trip to LA last week that created some incredibly fun memories. But some of her experience in LA, specifically at Game 3 of the game was not. I'm disgusted and appalled at what happened to this amazing little girl in the stands and in a woman's restroom where she was harassed for wearing her jersey and was spit on by an LA fan for doing so," Kane wrote on Instagram, via the Daily Hive. "This type of behaviour is gross and completely unacceptable. For any young girl especially someone battling cancer to be treated in such a manner is pathetic. Grow up and as this smart young lady always says BE KIND!"

A user named Chrissy Arvanitis, whose page has since been deactivated, replied to Kane's story saying that Kane "make[s] us spit on kids for being a dirty mother f---er."
