-DLC- Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 If this has anything to do with Jim being the Canucks GM, it's sick and twisted. Well it is no matter what the case, but that would just be so far over the line. You're not a fan if you do this stuff, you're a maniac. With that, we don't have the details or know the circumstances so I will reserve further judgement. https://theprovince.com/news/crime/son-of-canucks-gm-jim-benning-attacked-outside-yaletown-nightspot/wcm/6a15208c-101d-46b5-a6e9-223f30407ef3?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1634505021 Son of Canucks GM Jim Benning attacked outside Yaletown nightspot Vancouver police were called to an assault in progress around 2 a.m. outside the Banter Room Author of the article: Scott Brown Publishing date: Oct 17, 2021 • 1 minute ago • 1 minute read • Join the conversation The son of Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning was hospitalized Sunday following an alleged assault outside the Banter Room restaurant in Yaletown. PHOTO BY ARLEN REDEKOP /PNG Article content The son of Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning was hospitalized following an alleged assault outside a Yaletown nightspot early Sunday morning. Danica Benning, the daughter of the Canucks GM, posted on Instagram that her brother was attacked by four men while the two were waiting for an Uber outside the Banter Room at 1039 Mainland Street. “I tried to fight them off my brother and then one of them strangled me and threw me up against the wall,” Danica Benning wrote in her post. “The police were notified but (the four men) ran off immediately. My brother is in the hospital.” Vancouver police spokesperson Tania Visintin confirmed that officers were called to an assault in progress around 2 a.m. in the 1000 block of Mainland Street. “A 25-year-old man had very visible injuries to his face. He declined any assistance from paramedics and told officers he would go to the hospital himself,” said Visintin. Danica Benning has two brothers and didn’t say in her post which one was attacked. However, the age of the victim lines up with the age of her younger brother, Nicholas. Brandon, the older Benning brother, is in his 30s and works as a scout for the Canucks. Postmedia has reached out to the Canucks for comment. More to come … 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Maginator Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 Disgusting. I'm going to assume this was targeted. This crap rarely happens for no reason at all. This is when sport goes too far. I hope these 4 get beat themselves when they're locked in a cell. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 W T F. truly hope the perpetrators are found and convicted, 4 on 1, and then attack the sister . There is no reason why this should be tolerated in the very least.. hope an example is made if conviction ever happens. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuporbust Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 These 4 guys better hope their names don't get out, and not just because of jail time. There are enough crazy harcore canucks fans in the other direction that would make life dangerous for them here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AV. Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 This is &^@#ed up. It's one thing to have an opinion on the GM, or his tenure, or anything to do with his professional performance but leave them, their family, their personal life, etc out of it. Gutless cowards. Hope the son is safe and can recover well. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy for things like that to escalate into something dangerous. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Benning is a pretty visible Canuck presence I wouldn't think most people would recognize his family? Regardless, it shouldn't have happened.

drummer4now Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I always say this organization has the most aggressive and immature fans in the whole league… no wonder we are not respected. If this is due to hockey that above statement just further validates. I was watching the Kraken such class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure obviously but I think it has less to do with being Jim Benning's son & more to do with the type of people in downtown Vancouver (actually anywhere in metro Vancouver nowadays). No surprise many of the same people took advantage of a given situation (Stanley Cup riot) to loot businesses downtown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
