"The mole on the back of your neck is cancer", Seattle Kraken fan's message credited with saving life of Vancouver Canucks assistant equipment manager
The Vancouver Canucks gave a very personal thank you to a keen-eyed Kraken fan before Saturday’s game in Seattle.
When the 32nd franchise in the NHL played their first home game in the Emerald City last fall, the best save for the Canucks may have been off the ice.
“She’s a hero, she and her persistence,” said Canucks’ assistant equipment manager Brian ‘Red’ Hamilton.
More than two months after the Oct. 23, 2021 game, the team tweeted an open letter from Hamilton, hoping the hockey community could help him find the very special person who sat behind the Canucks’ bench at the Seattle home opener.
“The message you showed me on your cell phone will forever be etched into my brain and has made a true life-changing difference for me and my family,” Hamilton’s post stated.
During a Saturday Zoom call with media, Hamilton explained what the fan managed to notice – and subsequently alert him to during the chaos of the game.
“I’m walking off the bench and she put her phone up to the glass,” recalled Hamilton.
