My Dad and I had a very poor relationship growing up. He’s a very bitter person due to his rough upbringing which put a huge strain on our relationship, and growing up we had almost nothing in common, as we are radically different people. However, my Dad and I always had the Canucks. Dad introduced me to the team when I was a whole year old, and I grew up a diehard Canucks fan my whole life from then on. My Dad took me to my first game when I was 7, and Christmas of 2019, I finally got to return the favour and take him to a game.
The last few seasons have been rough, but even so, I don’t know where I’d be without the boys. They’ve helped me through some really dark days just by watching their games and cheering as hard as I can. I grew up in Alberta, and moved to Abbotsford 6 years ago for schooling. I’m so thankful now that I can be there in person to cheer them on. It really is a dream come true for me.
