Canucks and Jets stood together against racism before tonight's game
Instead of standing on opposing blue lines, the Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets stood together prior to tonight’s exhibition game in Edmonton.
It was a show of solidarity in support of frontline workers, and against acts of racism and acts of hate, and lasted for the duration of the playing of O Canada.
