Good news story to start off the new year. Another reason to be glad to have fans back in the stands.

Vancouver Canucks assistant equipment manager Brian Hamilton didn’t realize he had a cancerous growth on his neck until he visited Seattle in October.
But an eagle-eyed fan sitting behind the Canucks’ bench for the Kraken’s inaugural home game on Oct. 23 at Climate Pledge Arena saw something that concerned her.
Popovici had written a note on her phone that said she was concerned about a mole she’d noticed on his neck. She made the text on the screen large and colourful, obviously hoping he’d notice it. He finally saw it but didn’t think much of it initially.
Popovici’s going into medical school next fall — she’s been accepted by several schools but hasn’t chosen one yet — and had spent some time helping out in an oncology ward, so she was familiar with what cancers like Hamilton’s look like.
