That day we learned Gino was in the hospital....and a huge crowd showed up to chant GINO GINO. He came to the window and waved and next thing we knew, he was being wheeled out in his wheelchair to greet everyone! He was such a brave warrior.

So saddened by the news. He was not only a warrior on the ice but also a warrrior in the community service world. He made sure he gave as much back as he had received. Constantly doing charity work and helping out at kids camps.  
 

You will be missed!!

 

Lucky enough my TB tics had not sold and immediately pulled the listing. Can’t wait to make it reign Gino Gino Gino on Weds. The very least we can do for someone that is so iconic in our Canucks history. 


Gino Gino Gino!!!

I was invited to a Lions game and had to turn it down (was sick and, during COVID, not cool to go into public places with a fever). My friend (an old mod friend of ours from here) sent me a picture of our seats...Gino was sitting beside them. I was so disappointed I had to miss the game...and a chance to hang out with Gino. 

 

Another time, a female friend and I went to the Rio to see Ice Guardians. Gino was there (with his buddy)...they were greeting people as they came in the door. As Jeanette and I entered, they said to the guys they were chatting with "there are ladies here now guys, gotta move on" and they greeted us so warmly. Had a good conversation before the show started...it was just super casual and Gino was always so down to earth. Just one of us. Snapped a few pics with him and will treasure them.

 

(He was also in a dunk tank way back when at the Canucks carnival...my son thought that was a hoot).

 

So many Gino memories...we lost a good one today. A really good one. 2023 is awful so far...so much heartache. Seriously.

I was there and it was VGH. On the 12th Ave side. I was working that day and remember it like yesterday. Was awesome

Man this one is hitting me hard, loved how Gino Odjick played the game. He was so important to the Canucks and bonding with Pavel Bure and being one of his best friends was just icing on the cake.

 

RIP Gino, your a legend in my eyes! Gone far too soon...
