By james art Two Vancouver Canucks players surprised fans this week while working at a Tim Hortons in Richmond, BC.
The Vancouver Canucks and their players love to be involved in the community both in the city and in the surrounding area. It helps create a bond between the team and the fans, with some appearances benefitting charity.
This week, after the Vancouver Canucks returned from their four-game road trip, Conor Garland and Dakota Joshua, who formed one of the best third lines in the National Hockey League last season, came together to surprise fans at Tim Horton’s.
While walking through the drive-thru at Tim Horton’s in Richmond, BC, Canucks fan @zoomnucks on X was greeted by Conor Garland and Dakota Joshua who were taking customers’ orders at the window.
The Daily Hive’s Noah Strang spoke with @zoomnucks about her experience meeting Garland and Joshua, where she said it was a great surprise.
She added: “Meeting Conor was extra special for me as I’ve loved watching him since he ran into a Kraken fan three years ago. I just wish I was in my Garland jersey!”
Vancouver Canucks fans are hoping to see Dakota Joshua back in the game as soon as he can. Just as training camp was getting underway, Dakota Joshua announced that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer over the summer. Joshua underwent treatment and is back, and this week he returned to training, albeit in a non-contact jersey.
Once Dakota Joshua is able to return to the Canucks lineup, it will be interesting to see if Rick Tocchet decides to reassemble their third line from last season along with Conor Garland and Teddy Blueger. However, given how well Conor Garland has played so far this season, he’s earned a promotion to the top-six and likely won’t be moved back to the third line for now. But anything can happen, so we’ll have to wait and see.
