But true love never dies, and that is what has brought Drew Forester back to Vancouver more than a dozen years after the NHL lockout shot down his dream of watching a season of Vancouver Canucks hockey. “There were a couple of players who played for (Coquitlam) that made it to the NHL, Brandon Yip was one. He ended up with Colorado,” said Forester, who still watches as much NHL as he can get away with. Forester stayed in Vancouver until early June 2005, when he had been hoping to watch some playoff games. It’s freezing cold, I was expecting it to be warmer.”Forester said he was crushed by the Canucks’ Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins in the 2010-11 season.
