Vancouver fan with Brian Hamilton, Vancouver assistant coach after "saving his life" (Vancouver official website)
An exciting story from the American Hockey League occupies the sports sections of the USA: A fan saved the life of an assistant coach after warning him of a suspicious gem on the back of his neck. In response, the team hosted her tonight (Saturday to Sunday)
It was last October when Vancouver Canax hosted Seattle. Assistant coach Brian Hamilton sat on the bench and heard knocks on the transparent wall separating the teams from the fans
.
The woman, Nadia Popovichi, was determined, did not give up, and kept knocking again and again.
It turns out she was right.
Hamilton underwent a biopsy, in which it was found that the mole is malignant in stage 2, which means that the cancer at this stage is only in the outer layer of the skin and has not yet penetrated the inner layer.
This early discovery of the fan, in fact, saved his life.

The post published by the group, and the reaction of the proud father
"She extended my life, she saved them," Hamilton said, "she did not rescue me from a burning vehicle like in a big story, she took me out of a slow fire. The doctor told me that if I had not been examined, I would have died within 5-4 years. Even "I did not know I had this mole. She is the one who discovered it, and I do not understand how. She is not even big. I was wearing a coat, I had headphones over it, wires came off, I have no idea how she saw it, it drove me crazy." .
For days the Vancouver men searched for the fan, revealing the story on Twitter.
In a tweet Hamilton wrote that he just wants to thank the fan.
"Your instinct was right," the statement read, "We are looking for this amazing woman, to express our gratitude to her heroine."
After the tweet was circulated among Seattle fans, Nadia's father realized it was his daughter.
"Unbelievable, this is my daughter !!!", Yukyong Nelson wrote, "she was just admitted to a number of medical schools ... I was there when she told him that, we have not thought about it since, but what happened is just amazing!".

Popovichi, 22, was unaware of the hysteria surrounding the story, and when the story was published she was at her night job on the hotline to help people with suicidal tendencies.
When she returned she found out she had been invited to the game, and before that she met with Hamilton for a long conversation, in which he told her how much his family thanked her for saving her life.
Tonight, as mentioned, the group decided to give her a $ 10,000 gift for medical school.
Excited Popovichi looked agitated when she received the news on the large message board in the hall, while the audience cheered her on enthusiastically.
