(CNN) 两支 NHL 球队联合向冰球迷 Nadia Popovici 提供了 10,000 美元的医学院奖学金，以感谢您建议温哥华加人队助理设备经理 Brian“Red”Hamilton 检查他脖子后面的痣。
10 月 23 日，波波维奇坐在汉密尔顿身后观看加人队与西雅图海妖队的比赛。波波维奇不确定汉密尔顿是否知道那颗痣，于是敲打玻璃窗以引起他的注意，并向他展示了她在手机上输入的一条信息。
按照她的建议，汉密尔顿确实检查了痣，结果证明这是一种恶性黑色素瘤，一种皮肤癌。
由于加人队计划周六在西雅图与海妖队比赛，温哥华队在社交媒体上发布了一条消息，他们试图追踪波波维奇，以便汉密尔顿可以亲自感谢她。
“我正在努力寻找一个非常特别的人，我需要曲棍球界的帮助，”汉密尔顿在社交媒体帖子中写道。
“对于我想找的这个女人，你改变了我的生活，现在我想找到你说声非常感谢。
“10 月 23 日那天晚上，你在手机上给我看的信息将永远铭刻在我的脑海中，并为我和我的家人带来了真正改变生活的改变。
“你的直觉是对的，我脖子后面的那颗痣是恶性黑色素瘤，多亏了你的坚持和我们医生的快速治疗，它现在已经消失了。”
Vancouver Canucks assistant equipment manager thanks fan who noticed his melanoma at game against Seattle Kraken. 'You changed my life'
(CNN)Two NHL teams have combined to give ice hockey fan Nadia Popovici a $10,000 scholarship for medical school as a thank you for advising Vancouver Canucks assistant equipment manager Brian "Red" Hamilton to get a mole behind his neck checked out.
Popovici was sitting behind Hamilton as she watched the Canucks play the Seattle Kraken on October 23. Unsure if Hamilton was aware of the mole, Popovici banged on the glass window to catch his attention and showed him a message she had typed on her phone.
Following her advice, Hamilton did get the mole checked out and it proved to be a malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
With the Canucks scheduled to play the Kraken in Seattle on Saturday, the Vancouver team posted a message on social media as they tried to track down Popovici so Hamilton could thank her personally.
"I'm trying to find a very special person and I need the hockey community's help," wrote Hamilton in a social media post.
"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.
"That evening Oct 23rd, and the message you showed me on your cell phone will forever be etched into my brain and has made a true life-changing difference for me and my family.
"Your instincts were right and that mole on the back of my neck was a malignant melanoma and thanks to your persistence and the quick work of our doctors, it is now gone."
