VANCOUVER – Prince Harry dropped the puck during a ceremonial opening faceoff before the Vancouver Canucks hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, was in Vancouver for the opening of the 2025 Invictus Games being held in Vancouver and Whistler.
He founded the Games in 2014 for wounded, injured or sick service personnel and veterans.
