Vancouver Canuck Fan Guide

As any Vancouver Canuck fan can tell you, the Canucks are the professional hockey team of Vancouver, British Columbia. The team is a part of the National Hockey League, and they were founded in 1970. The Canucks play in General Motors Place in Vancouver, and their colors are blue, red and silver. The Canucks logo features an orca coming out of a big blue letter “C.” Though the Canucks have never won a Stanley Cup final, they are still quite popular with Vancouver natives and people throughout British Columbia. The Vancouver Canucks began their professional hockey existence in 1945 as a part of the Pacific Coast Hockey League. In 1965, they applied to be one of the six expansion teams that were added to the National Hockey League, but they did not win the bid. Five years later, the team was purchased by new ownership and they paid six million dollars to finally join the NHL. The Vancouver Canucks have gone to the Stanley Cup finals twice since their entry into the National Hockey League. They lost both times, first in 1982 against the New York Islanders,

and again in 1994 to the New York Rangers. They still have quite a following in Vancouver and throughout Canada, making them one of the more popular teams in the NHL. If you are visiting Vancouver, you might want to go to a Canucks hockey game. You can purchase tickets online if you know what game you would like to attend. However, you can also go by the General Motors Place on the day of a game and try to get tickets for that night. Depending on whom the Canucks are playing, you are likely to be able to get tickets. However, if you are interested in getting good seats that are close to the floor, you might want to make your ticket purchases online via the Canucks website.
