Proof of what? Of someone wearing a bag being escorted out?

Sounds like folks who show up at tonight’s #Canucks game with a paper bag for headwear will be escorted out and could be banned.

This isn't just a standard 'winning team visits the WH in a planned visit' -- it's the state of the damn union, as the NHL resumes.
