Hi Canucks, Sometimes, people forget that hockey players are people. As a Canucks fan, with two kids who are fans, too, I just wanted to say a few words that may not often be said. My kids and myself look up to the Canucks, because of the way they play the game. The Canucks players represent many of the values that I try to instill in my kids: hard work, creative play, teamwork, kindness, process focus, but goal orientation, professionalism, respect everyone, sacrifice for others, and give to your team and community. In the Canucks, especially through their leaders (both past - thank you Sedins, Bieksa, Linden, Smyl, et al and present- their favorites are Bo, Peetie, and Hugsie-bear - mine are Motte and Miller), we really have a connection to you all. Our family wishes each of you the best of health and feel sad that you have to go through recovering from the disease. We wish health and happiness for your families, too. Recover quickly and you will hear us in the stands soon, I hope, but maybe for now we will hope you hear us through the TV (we certainly try). You are part of our home and we thank you for how you have done so far. Keep at it. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Adam (Dad- Coach Socks), Kaiden (9), and Sam (11) Wightman - North Vancouver
