Empty Stocking Fund gets help from Canucks wives and girlfriends

On Tuesday, expect Vancouver Canucks wives and girlfriends to be focused on their goal: raising money to help others in need.
As soon as the doors open to Rogers Arena for the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, more than 10 wives and girlfriends will be on the concourse selling balloons to raise money for The Province’s Empty Stocking Fund.
Now in its 17th year, the fundraiser has become an annual tradition for the NHL team.
“Our fans are so generous,” said Alex Oxenham
