One of the first things I did in Vancouver (and, I'll admit, my whole reason for going) was the hockey game between my Canucks and my Rangers that evening (October 18, 2011). What I didn't know until the moment I got there was that there'd be some pre-game ceremonial tribute to Rick Rypien, a former Canuck (he'd signed with Winnipeg after the '10-'11 season) who took his life just two months before.

I apologize for shaky camera and all that, I was in tears almost the entire time (you can hear me sniffling if you listen well enough, and bemoaning the song in the video montage because I knew it was going to make me cry more). I don't know if CC is working (or if it's working well enough), but I'm working on transcribing the interviews anyway. It's just /really/ difficult for me to make out what Jannik Hansen is saying. XD I suppose that's what I get for waiting three months to upload this?

The website mentioned about halfway through is http://mindcheck.ca/inonevoice Check it out, and add your voice.

By the way, Rangers won 4-0; it was their first win of the season. Either way, I was gonna go home happy, but being there, 2500 miles from home, to see their first win -- a shutout against the reigning Western Conference Champions! -- was extra special. ♥
