During the Seattle Kraken and Vancouver Canucks game, a Kraken fan noticed something cancerous on the back of the head of the Canucks equipment manager.

She did the impossible to make sure he knew about it. So she wrote him a message on her phone and held it up to the plexiglass. It saved his life.
Hamilton said the melanoma is gone owing to physicians' swift work, but he wants to connect with the fan who changed his life.
"My name is Brian "Red" Hamilton and I am the assistant equipment manager for the Vancouver Canucks. I am trying to find a very special person and I need the hockey community's help. To this woman I am trying to find, you changed my life, and now I want to find you to say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!" He said.

Hamilton added, "Problem is, I don't know who you are or where you are from. I do know that you were sitting behind the Canucks bench on the night the Seattle Kraken played their first ever home game. That evening, Oct 23rd, and the message you showed me on your cell phone will forever be etched in my brain and has made a true life-changing difference for me and my family. Your instincts were right and that mole on the back of my neck was a malignant melanoma and thanks to your persistence and the quick work of our doctors, it is now gone.

I want you all to know this isn't about me. It's about an incredible person taking the time to notice something concerning and then finding a way to point it out during the chaos of a hockey game. Going to great lengths to get my attention from the stands while I did my job on the Canucks bench. We are looking for this incredible person and we need you to share this with your friends and families to help us find a real life hero, so I can express my sincerest gratitude."
