Remembering Rick Rypien - Forever a Canuck

I wanted to do something for us Canucks fans to have a way to get together, remember & pay our respects to Rick Rypien on this day so...
On August 15th we welcome you to join us on the plaza at Rogers Arena. 
We will be there from 11am until approximately 6pm.
We are holding a silent auction with proceeds going to Mindcheck.ca in memory of Rick. Bidding will close at 5:45 - bid winners can pick the item up on site at 6pm or we will contact you after the 15th. 

A few items that will be up for auction -
