Mark Scheifele has been through a very tough last 48 hours, and now the Dallas Stars owner has made a very touching gesture towards the Winnipeg Jets star.

The Winnipeg Jets lost in Game 6 against the Dallas Stars, but the bigger overall story of this whole series was the tragic passing of Brad Scheifele, Mark's father just hours before Game 6 in Dallas.

There have been some incredible tributes given to Schefiele and his family, as he shown amazing courage and strength to get through the game, scoring the only goal in the Jets 2-1 overtime defeat.

Stars fans have taken to donating $55 for 55 to Scheifele's charities following the news breaking, and now, it's been revealed that the Dallas Stars owner himself has made a very touching gesture towards the veteran forward.

It has been revealed that Tom Gaglardi has flown Scheifele home to Kitchener in Ontario on his private plane after Game 6, allowing Scheifele to get home and be with his family following the tragic weekend that he's been through.

If this is true, it would be an amazing gesture from Gaglardi to Scheifele, and although it's not much of a financial burden, it's a very small move that has allowed the veteran to get home to his family much quicker and in much more comfort.

Once again, this is just another example of how this is all much bigger than hockey, as the players and people involved in the sport are much more important than what happens on the ice, so this is a great way to show love towards Scheifele after a brutal series between the two teams.
