Hockey is full of hard, relentless battles on the ice, but the Vancouver Canucks are hoping to bring attention to an even more important battle off the ice.
On Wednesday, the Canucks hosted their 9th annual Hockey Talks game, facing off against the Ottawa Senators in their second meeting of the season.
Every year, the organization shows its support by sharing resources, engaging in open and honest discussions, and promoting awareness towards the cause.
