At the end of November, Grubauer’s mask will be auctioned off, with the money going to the Virginia Mason Franciscan Health foundation benefiting cancer research and the One Roof Foundation."My grandma, my grandpa have been a huge part of me playing hockey. That’s how I started playing hockey with cooking spoons, with a spatula in my grandma’s living room. They’re a huge part and I wanted to give back a little bit as well," he said.
