It was early 2012, and a young 11-year-old version of myself was making his way to Rogers Arena, as my dad signed me up for a hockey camp that was being held on the same ice as my favourite team, the Vancouver Canucks. I was nothing but excited to skate where my heroes did.
My dad had told me the camp was being hosted by former Canucks Dave Babych and Garry Valk. However, being born late in the year 2000 and not having the best knowledge of the roster and history at the age of 11, I honestly had no idea who either of those players were at the time.
