Elliot Pageand his mom Martha Philpotts enjoyed mother-son bonding time at the rink.
On Tuesday, the actor, 35, sat with Philpotts while cheering in the crowd at Madison Square Garden alongside hisUmbrella Academycostar Kate Walsh. The Washington Capitals ended up beating the New York Rangers 4-0.
PagetoldEsquireearlier this year that he’s a big hockey fan.
“I don’t really have a team, I just love watching it. When I lived in L. A., I’d go to Kings games and cheer for the Kings. But if Toronto came, I’d cheer for both,” he said. “… I’m not someone who is a die-hard fan of a team. Is that strange? I keep meaning to become one. Every year I say this is the year I’m picking a team and I’m staying with that team. And I never do it.”

TheJunoactor added that his mom’s favorite sports team overall is the Liverpool Football Club.
“She knows all the players, the coach, the drama, everything,” he said. “Her No. 1 bucket list thing was to go to a Liverpool game. I was doing press for season 1 ofUmbrella Academyin London. There was a Liverpool game. I reached out to the team and said I wanted to bring my mom to a game. They were so incredibly welcoming and kind. I brought my mom over and surprised her.”
“Getting to watch her be at that game was truly one of the most absolute special moments in my life,” said Page. “In the beginning, when everyone is singing, she’s just swaying and singing. I have it on video. When the game was over, they took her down to see the field and the seats where the players sit. She got to meet the coach. Seeing my mom happy makes me so happy.”
Pageworked with Walsh onUmbrella Academy, in which theGrey’s Anatomyalum, 55, played The Handler. Walsh posted support for season 3 of the show earlier this year. (Theseries will endwith the upcoming fourth season.)
