It is sure to be another exciting afternoon complete with concourse activities for family members and fans alike. The first 10,000 fans will receive a commemorative team photo card. Arrive early to have your picture taken with the Stanley Cup!

Tickets for this family event are $15.00 plus GST for lower bowl, and $10.00 plus GST for upper bowl with net proceeds from the event going to the Canucks for Kids Fund, Ronald McDonald House British Columbia, KidSport BC, the NHLPA’s Goals And Dreams Fund, and the Luc Bourdon Memorial Fund.
