Newly acquired Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jason Zucker’s son is learning how to cheer his dad on with his new team. And it’s adorable.

Jason Zucker has played only one game as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

So you’ll have to forgive his son for not being up to date.

On Monday, the Penguins acquired Zucker in a trade from the Minnesota Wild. But as of Thursday night, his son Hendrix was still chanting, “Let’s go Wild.”

Zucker’s wife, Carly, corrected him — and the video of it is beyond adorable.

“No, Daddy plays for the Penguins now,” Carly told Hendrix.

It took the young man no time at all to nail it.

“Let’s go Penguins,” he said.

“Yeah, good job,” Mom said, approvingly. “We’ll practice.”

Carly gave him another: “Say, ‘Go, Pittsburgh.’ ”

“Go, Pittsburgh,” Hendrix replied.

Nailed it, again!

Jason himself retweeted the lesson, saying, “He sounds good cheering for the @penguins.”

He sure does, Jason.

The fan response was quick and strong.
