What is the ultimate Vancouver experience a visitor can have? Catching a Canucks game, of course! The hockey team is a major point of pride for the city and 2019 marks their 50th anniversary season.
 
Founded in1945 as a minor league professional team in the Pacific Coast Hockey League, the Canucks officially joined the National Hockey League in 1970 as part of the league’s expansion. Many hockey icons have played for the team throughout the years: Richard Brodeur, Pavel Bure, Kirk MacLean, Trevor Linden, Markus Naslund, Mark Messier, Roberto Luongo, and Henrik and Daniel Sedin, to name a few. The Canucks have been runner-ups for the Stanley Cup three times — in 1982, 1994, and 2011 — and this season, with a skilled troupe and Bo Horvat as the newly appointed captain, expectations are set high for them to make another run for the cup again. 
 
Check out their home game schedule and celebrate this 50th-year milestone while you’re in town. Ticket information can be found on the team site.
