“I always want to think positive, so even if you’re having a bad day, just go out there and get the W no matter what,” Callan Perk told Ellen.  The 7-year-old Ontario native then delivered a motivational speech to Ellen about her show coming to an end:

 

“For 19 seasons you have given your all on this stage, so when it’s time to say goodbye and turn out the lights, just remember that you, Ellen, will always get the W because you have given whatever it takes to be you. So just keep working hard and stay positive and making people laugh because you are a legend.  So let’s get fired up and go out there and get the W today and every day.  Let’s go, Ellen!”

As the crowd stood to clap and cheer, Ellen gave Callan a hug and said, “You are just a special little being with such a big heart, and I thank you for that.”  The Peterborough Petes then posted a photo and video on their Instagram page to celebrate Callan’s appearance on The Ellen Show and in the caption they write, “Our favourite pint-sized coach @coachcalgtw hit the stage with Ellen to talk about his pre-game speech with the boys and deliver some more motivation!”
