PRINCE GEORGE — 3 year old Prince George boy Mavrik Turnbull, who was courageously fighting cancer since the age of 2, has passed away.
In a Facebook post, the family of Mavrik says that he took his last breath Monday night at Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, with his parents Derek and Vanessa by his side.
Several NHL players took time to visit or send messages to lift Mavrik’s spirits. Among those who reached out were rising stars Connor Bedard, Fraser Minten, and Macklin Celebrini. Jansen Harkins, a former Prince George Cougar, also stopped by to visit. Joshua Ravensbergen, also connected to the Cougars, was another familiar face who came to support the young boy. Adding to the excitement, Fin—the Vancouver Canucks’ mascot—also stopped by.
In addition to in-person visits, Mavrik received heartfelt messages from the team behind Hockey Night in Canada, bringing encouragement from one of the country’s most iconic broadcasts with Elliotte Friedman, Kevin Bieksa, Ron MacLean and Jennifer Botterill sharing their support, sending love and positivity directly to Mavrik and his family.
