Vancouver Canucks will have a new DJ at Rogers Arena next season
The Vancouver Canucks have undergone many changes this year.
And on Wednesday, we learned that another member of the organization is saying goodbye.
Rogers Arena in-house DJ Tom Fleming took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce that he won’t be returning to the Canucks next season.
“After five unforgettable years, I’ve decided to turn the page and begin a new chapter in this DJ journey,” Fleming said.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity, the memories, everyone I had the chance to work with along the way, and all of the fans who brought so much energy to Rogers Arena every night. It’s been an experience I’ll never forget.
“Thank you Vancouver.”

Fleming originally became the Canucks DJ after winning a competition for the job back in 2021.
Not only did he win, but the Halifax native flew across the country just for a shot at landing the gig.
“I basically had to fly myself out on my own dime, just to make it happen, because I really wanted it,” Fleming said in an interview with Daily Hive in 2021.
Before joining the Canucks, Fleming had mainly just worked the nightclub scene.
And apparently, that’s where he’s heading back to in 2026.
Fleming recently confirmed to Canucks reporter Daniel Wagner that he’s accepted a residency in Bali, Indonesia. He’s posted photos and videos of himself in Bali throughout the offseason, and DJed a show in Seminyak, Bali, back in July.
During his five years with the Canucks, there wasn’t a lot of winning or success. Fleming was around for four different head coaches in five years, with the beginning of his time with the club spanning back to the tail end of the Travis Green and Jim Benning era.
Of course, he did have a bird’s-eye view of the action during the 2023-24 season, when the Canucks made it within one game of the Western Conference Finals.
“There were moments when the crowd was screaming so loudly I could barely even hear the music I was playing,” Fleming told Wagner. “You could physically feel the adrenaline in the building. Getting to help soundtrack that was pretty special.”
