Off-the-ice, the support for the Goldeneyes from the rest of Vancouver’s sports community was imminent. Aatu Räty of the Vancouver Canucks, wearing a Karvinen jersey, was joined by teammates Nils Höglander, Teddy Blueger, and Thatcher Demko at the Goldeneyes’ home-opener. Former Canucks Darcy Rota, Dave Babych, and Nathan Lafayette also attended this game, while Canadian soccer legend Christine Sinclair dropped the puck.
