New Canucks goalie Holtby can't get his turtles across the border
There are slow news days, and then there are turtle news days.
Brandi Holtby, the wife of new Canucks goalie Braden Holtby, reached out to her Twitter following today. The problem? They’re having trouble getting their two pet tortoises across the border.
Hey Twitter, does anyone have any sweet connections with Federal Fish and Wildlife that could push some export papers along in order to get two happy tortoises across the border? 🇨🇦🐢🐢🇺🇸 We miss our boys!

“Does anyone have any sweet connections with Federal Fish and Wildlife that could push some export papers along in order to get two happy tortoises across the border?” Brandi asked.
“Now Braden is stuck at the border with two tortoises,” Brandi explained in another tweet, clarifying that they had the Canadian import permit completed, but not the export permit needed to get the tortoises out of the United States.
No, we didn’t know we needed an export permit (we did do the import permit for the Canadian side) so now Braden is stuck at the border with two tortoises 🙈

Brandi has shown off the family tortoises before, and honestly, what kind of monster would dare give these two beautiful creatures a hard time? Their names are Maple and Honey, by the way.
We haven’t quite hit our goal of 25k meals for @foodbankmetrodc. BUT, I wanted to official introduce all of you to Maple Holtby, or as we like to call him, Mr. Mape. 🐢💚 pic.twitter.com/3X2wt5biKt

The NHL hasn’t released a schedule yet for next season, though they have set a target date of January 1. If that plan comes to fruition, expect training camp to start sometime in December, with players returning to their home cities before then.
Whenever it starts, the Holtby kids are ready.
