Christian Ehrhoff is officially now a member of the Buffalo Sabres, which saddens a lot of Canucks fans out there.

Bea put her feelings to paper to thank the German blueliner for his two years of service in Vancouver.

Dear Christian Ehrhoff,

You love hockey. I know you do. It’s what you’ve been working towards your whole life - to play hockey for a living. You’ve done it, and you are now opening another chapter in your hockey career.

From that time I saw you in Starbucks last month and said ‘good luck’, to your response which presented a genuine smile with a little ‘thank you’, you always do what’s best for you and others around you.

It definitely hurts to see you go, after all that you’ve done for this Canucks organization, but despite the circumstances - you've done what’s best for you.

You are truly an inspiration to me and many other Canucks fans. You’re living the dream and playing hockey for a living, and I hope one day to see you raise the Stanley Cup no matter the team you represent and play for.

You may not be a Canuck anymore, but you’ll always be one to me.

I’m not going to mope around about this, or breakdown crying. It’s because I know you’ll still be around, playing hockey, taking those slapshots at the point, and racking up points like the Hoffer we all came to know and love. You’ll always be there, and I’ll always remember that.

Lots of love, positivity, and warm wishes to a continuously incredible hockey career you have so far created for yourself.

Bea
