“Last night, we honoured those who have bravely faced cancer and stood with them as #HockeyFightsCancer,” wrote the Vancouver Canucks social media team on Thursday, Nov. 30, the day after a home game against the Anaheim Ducks.
8-year-old Weston Ireton, a local athlete that plays for the Port Hardy Hawks who was diagnosed with leukemia when he was just two-years-old, was one of a handful of cancer survivors who were invited to attend the Canucks versus Ducks game on Wednesday night, getting to hit the ice with the teams.
