Vancouver Canucks-sponsored guide dog Ryp has died The team introduced the pup from the B.C. and Alberta Guide Dogs organization in 2022

I just learned that #Ryp, the Canuck sponsored service dog named after Rick Rypien, died last year at only a year old.
#Rypien was a defenceman with the Vancouver Canucks, who died in 2011 after years of struggle with his mental health.

#NHL would have obviously given #Rypien more time and anger management if he had just stood in front of the fan and blocked his vision!
