© Submitted by Nadia Popovici Nadia Popovici, who sat behind the Vancouver Canucks bench during their game against the Seattle Kraken, is being called a hero after alerting a Canucks staffer to a cancerous mole on the back of his neck during the game. A Seattle Kraken fan is being praised as a hero — and awarded $10,000 — after helping the assistant equipment manager of the Vancouver Canucks identify a cancerous mole on his neck in the middle of a game. "I spotted some of the classic signs, you know, irregular borders, a little bit of discoloration and a pretty large diameter," Popovici told CBC News. Popovici then held up a note on her phone to the plexiglass behind the Canucks bench, alerting Hamilton and telling him the mole could possibly be cancerous. Hamilton said he wrote the callout to let Popovici know that her persistence was rewarded and called her a "great human being."
