She gets a $10k scholarship as thanks for alerting a man to his skin cancer

Two NHL teams have combined to give ice hockey fan Nadia Popovici a $10,000 scholarship for medical school as a thank you for advising Vancouver Canucks assistant equipment manager Brian "Red" Hamilton to get a mole behind his neck checked out. Popovici was sitting behind Hamilton as she watched the Canucks play the Seattle Kraken on October 23. Unsure if Hamilton was aware of the mole, Popovici banged on the glass window to catch his attention and showed him a message she had typed on her phone. Following her advice, Hamilton did get the mole checked out and it proved to be a malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer. It was during Saturday's game that a stunned Popovici learned about the $10,000 scholarship award. Vancouver won 5-2, but as the Canucks tweeted a picturing of Hamilton and Popivici together taking a selfie, the tweet's caption said it all: "The biggest win tonight."
