The assistant equipment manager for the Vancouver Canucks took to social media on Saturday to find the Seattle Kraken fan he said saved his life by spotting a cancerous mole on the back of his neck.
溫哥華加人隊的助理設備經理週六利用社群媒體找到了救他一命的西雅圖海怪隊的球迷,他說因為那位球迷瞥見他脖子後方一顆癌變的痔。
Brian Hamilton, who was unaware of the mole, was going about his usual business during a National Hockey League game in Seattle on Oct. 23 when a woman sitting in a seat behind the visiting team bench kept trying to get his attention.

這位不放棄的女性最後在她的手機照片打上一段訊息,向漢米爾頓舉起照片,警告他,「你脖子後面的痔是癌症」。
After returning to Vancouver, Hamilton had the mole biopsied. It was diagnosed as a malignant melanoma.

"I am trying to find a very special person and I need the hockey community’s help," Hamilton wrote in a letter posted on the Canucks Twitter account. "To this woman I am trying to find, you changed my life, and now I want to find you to say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
漢米爾頓寫了一封信刊登在加人隊推特帳號上,「我正試圖尋找一位非常特別的人士,所以我需要冰球社群的幫助」,「對於這位我正尋找的女性,你改變了我的生命,現在我想要找到你並說聲非常謝謝你」。
