1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Why does this game mean so much? You're with the

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: hands on impact.

3
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really special to be part of this league initiative.

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: All thirty two teams participate. But it's one of the

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: most beautiful nights here at Climate Pledgerina. Everything flips to Lavender,

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 2: but it is so much bigger than that. Tonight, though,

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: is really special because we will physically be doing some

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: cancer screening here on site. Last year we screened I

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: think over one hundred men with just a simple blood test,

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: and so it is really important because the message we're

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: really trying to communicate is that early detection can really

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: save lives.

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: Well, the front door advertising here with how this turns

14
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: into Lavender really just strikes the I. It's done so

15
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: for me for so many years. We'll get into more

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: of the screening part of this because it's so important,

17
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: but I mean, what examples elsewhere can you think of

18
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: with this game and the event that tells the greatest

19
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of story that just validates why the Kraken and

20
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: the rest of the NHL do this.

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we actually have a patient here with

22
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: us tonight that did this screening last year and is

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: about to finish their treatment and so it quite literally

24
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: is a one for one example of like why this

25
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: night is so impactful and why the NHL pushes a

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: story like this. We are literally saving lives, and I

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: think sometimes when you get wrapped up in sports and emotions,

28
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: it's hard to remember that at the end of the day,

29
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: you know, we're all humans and it's important to increase

30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: the longevity and live really healthy lives. And I think

31
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: that's what our partnership with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health is

32
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: really about, is really encouraging a healthy lifestyle, and early

33
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: detection is really a part of that.

34
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: Jaden Schwartz's story tells a lot about this saving here

35
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: his sister Mandy a tribute to this often it's a

36
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: story that really bears repeating and the reason why that

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: this game is so important. And add to that, you've

38
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: got players going to hospitals, you're in there with them.

39
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: You've got players jerseys going up here for auction among

40
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: other ventures. So what difference have the players made here

41
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: for hockeyfis cancer?

42
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jaden has been such a phenomenal extension of our

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: partnership with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health. He himself has done

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: a ton of hospital visits. Just last week, we took

45
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: six guys down over to Burien to Saint Anne Hospital

46
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: just to visit the cancer center itself and also really

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: uplift the lives of the staff working there that are

48
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: really in it. But the players are totally bought in.

49
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: It's been really cool even just downstairs watching them walk

50
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 2: in in the Hockey Fights Cancer jerseys. But they're incredible

51
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: proponents for this night, and it's really nice to see

52
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: them dive in.

53
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: Bill brought to joining us here in the intermission, and

54
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the cancer screenings because I

55
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: mean this is kind of close to home for me.

56
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm getting up there in the age category, so you

57
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: had to really kind of think about this stuff. You know,

58
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: what do you appreciate about the different types of ways

59
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: that fans can jump in with different types of screenings

60
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: here and then benefit as well.

61
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, we've got the

62
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: simple PSA blood test tonight, but we also have a

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: mobile lung cancer screening unit that I know they've brought

64
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: to other sports teams here locally in Seattle, and I

65
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: know they've got a mobile Mammogram clinic as well, and

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: so just be on the lookout for other opportunities that

67
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: fans can engage. But you can do tonight specifically encourage

68
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: folks to go participate in the screening. We've got I

69
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: Fight four cards for everyone, and of course these beautiful

70
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: beanies to really just continue to.

71
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: Share the message outside of this A Kraken all the

72
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: five k It was at Green Lake back on October fourth.

73
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: What do you recall about that day and how much

74
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: it moved the dial here for this event?

75
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, this night is just a piece of our ongoing

76
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: activations with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health throughout the year. The

77
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: five case such a fun way to kick it all

78
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: off in early October. We raised almost fourteen thousand dollars

79
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: that night, and then of course tonight we'll have the

80
