  • Vancouver Canucks debut shiny brand new helmets for tonight's game

The Vancouver Canucks are debuting shiny new helmets tonight -- for a good cause.

They say on social media that tonight's game against the St. Louis Blues is the first of two games were players will sport the flashy metallic blue helmets. 

The team says the helmets will later be sold at auction to support for Canucks for Kids Fund. 

The charity's website says it aims to support children’s heath and wellness and foster the development of grassroots hockey.
