Canucks assistant equipment manager Brian “Red” Hamilton turned to Twitter to search for a woman who attended the team's game against the Kraken in October, someone he called a “real life hero.”
During Seattle’s first-ever home game, a woman sitting behind Vancouver’s bench noticed something on Hamilton’s neck that prompted her to get his attention—“during the chaos of a hockey game,” Hamilton wrote in a letter posted on the Canucks' Twitter account.
“That evening, Oct. 23rd, and 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 wrote.
