Vancouver, B.C. – The Vancouver Canucks are excited to open their 56th season starting with Home Opener, presented by TD, on October 9th when the team takes on the Calgary Flames. This year’s celebration carries extra meaning as fans return to Rogers Arena for its 30th anniversary and the start of another unforgettable season of hockey.
