Carrie Underwood was the topic of discussion when her Ottawa Senators hockey player beau Mike Fisher visited a Canadian children's hospital earlier this month.

In fact, 11-year-old patient Tyler Huneault, was one of the first people Fisher opened up to about his wife-to-be.

During a recent visit to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Fisher, 29, spent time with his new friend Huneault, who is battling the rare genetic disease Sialidosis and awaiting a kidney transplant.

Rather than talk about Fisher's hockey background, the boy was keen on learning more about Fisher's fiancee, 26, a source tells UsMagazine.com.

"Tyler flat out asked Mike, 'Are you [together with] a girl from American Idol?' and Mike fessed up," the insider says. "They talked about Carrie's dog, and if Mike even likes country music. They went on to chat about if she had been to Ottawa yet, if he ever watched her on American Idol."

Fisher says he's glad to have made the young fan's day a little brighter.

"The first time I met Tyler, I saw a kid with such a great heart and a awesome attitude," Fisher tells Us of Huneault, who suffers from the inherited neurodegenerative disorder. "He's been through so much but remains positive and people are immediately drawn to him, he's such an amazing young kid! I had such a great time seeing him in the hospital, it was a tough time for him but he still managed to tell some stories and have a few laughs, he made my day," Fisher says.

    If Howard Stern is picked as replacement for Simon Cowell I will never watch American Idol again.

    When did he make a show of becoming so "charitable" all of a sudden?? When he claimed to have "found" religion?? Just to impress Carrie?? He's not doing this out of the goodness of his heart- he is just like most shallow Canucks who only have ONE thing on thier minds...to bed ONLY those girls who are beautiful,famous,rich,under 30 and will do ANYTHING in bed...Come to think of it,the Americans are the same way...only worse than the Canucks...the Canuycks at leats PRETEND to be nice to girls until they get what they want from you...

    oh and such girls have to be "perfect" in bed as well-sorry ladies but these Canucks are only after one thing...they are not gonna be nice to you unless you are "perfect"on all fronts...

    like most Canadian men he is STILL the same shallow fool who will ONLY date American girls who are beautiful,famous,rich,and under 30.... otherwise I'm sorry to say that Canadian men are NOT that nice to American woman...

    When did he become so "charitable"? When he claimed to have "found"religion?? Hard to believe he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart- he is only trying to "redeem" himself...

    Oh Oh, it sounds like Tyler has a crush on Carrie. Mike was so gracious to visit, be sincere, and even open up about the love of his life.

    I live in Ottawa and have seen Mike around town several times. He's always incredibly gracious to fans, especially kids. And this is definitely not the first time he's worked with local charities. He's a wonderful role model for kids in our city. What a great match he and Carrie are!!!

    Mike Fisher is such a great guy. Carrie has found the best guy ever! They will be a future power couple know for kind hearts, Christian values, charitable works, dedication to their careers, and living the Canadian & American dream. I would bet they are going to have a beautiful family a few years down the road. Both are truly humble.
