Canucks announce 40th anniversary plans
The Vancouver Canucks will celebrate its 40th anniversary this 2010-11 season with year-long plans to honour the team’s history in the National Hockey League. The new season kicks off this Oct. 9 against the Los Angeles Kings, the same team the Canucks faced back in 1970-71 for the franchise’s inaugural game.
Throughout the season, there will be a series of “signature nights” to mark the anniversary. These nights will “engage and encourage fan participation and salute the loyal and passionate Canucks fans.”
“This season promises to be very special for our fans and our organization,” said Mike Gillis, Canucks President and General Manager. “We have a number of exciting initiatives planned and we look forward to sharing these experiences with Canucks fans all season long.”
Plans for the upcoming season and details regarding the Canucks’ “signature nights” will be unveiled on Jul. 7 at the club’s annual Canucks Summer Summit.
