With land at a premium in the city of Vancouver, it appears the Vancouver Canucks are starting to look further afield in their search for a practice ...
with a business degree, has also met with top university officials, including president Joy Johnson, sources confirmed.The Canucks have been talking about building their own dedicated practice facility since at least 2010, when they ended a rental agreement with Burnaby 8 Rinks, now known as Scotia Barn, that had been in place since 1995. Instead, the team has had temporary deals to use the rinks at the University of B.C., as well as back at Scotia Barn in recent seasons.
One of the first things president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford identified as a team need after he took over as the Canucks’ top hockey person in December 2020 was a practice facility and president of business operations Michael Doyle has been in plenty of talks around Vancouver about possibilities, but to date nothing firm has materialized.
Also, while some NHL teams, like Edmonton, Columbus and New Jersey, have their practice rink right next to their game arena, most NHL teams have their practice facilities in the suburbs, 20 or 30 minutes away from their downtown arena. The Canucks would likely still like to find a location that’s closer to Rogers Arena, but if they don’t, it’s not like they’d be straying from the league norm — indeed by not having a practice facility at the moment, they are already straying from the league norm.
