Attention sports fans! You won’t believe who was seen at Rogers Arena on Monday night. They were none other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! The royal couple were in town to watch the Vancouver Canucks take on the San Jose Sharks. And we get it, Prince Harry even dropped the ceremonial puck before the game.
Talk about a once in a lifetime experience! Can you imagine being the one who dropped the puck for an NHL game? Well, for Prince Harry, that dream came true. And I’m telling you, he did it in style. He fist bumped captains Quinn Hughes and Tomáš Hertl at center ice before confidently dropping the puck.
But the fun didn’t stop there. The Canucks won the game 3-1, thanks to goals from Hughes, Sam Lafferty and JT Miller. And guess what? Hughes even recorded an assist, bringing his season tally to a league-leading 30 points. That’s right, he’s the third defenseman in NHL history to reach that milestone in less than 20 games.
Now, let’s back up a bit. Prince Harry and Meghan’s visit to Vancouver is in preparation for the 2025 Invictus Games, which will be held in British Columbia. The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry himself, are an international sporting event for military personnel who have been injured in service. It has been held in several countries including the UK, USA, Australia, the Netherlands and Germany. And now, Canada will have the honor of hosting him for the second time.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time a Royal has dropped the ceremonial puck at a Canucks game. In 2002, Prince Harry’s grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, also had the opportunity to do so during a game between the Canucks and the Sharks. That trip to Canada even coincided with their Golden Jubilee celebrations.
What a moment that must have been for the Queen and the Canucks fans in attendance. And now, Prince Harry has continued this royal tradition, adding his own special touch to the ceremonial puck drop. It’s clear that the Canucks and the city of Vancouver hold a special place in the hearts of the Royal Family.
