Canucks training camp begins with off-ice testing on Wednesday at Rogers Arena, with the team’s first in-person media conference since the pandemic also taking place. On-ice training sessions are being held Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in Abbotsford and are open for fans to attend. Tickets are available for just $5.50, with proceeds being donated to the Canucks for Kids Fund.

The Canucks will also be raising money for charity with their 50/50 program, which runs throughout training camp, with the draw being held after the second intermission on Monday.

The Canucks’ first preseason game is Sunday on the road in Spokane, Washington, against the Seattle Kraken. The first preseason game at Rogers Arena is against the Winnipeg Jets on October 3.

Vancouver begins the regular season with a six-game road trip, starting on October 13 in Edmonton, and concluding October 23 in Seattle. The Canucks’ home opener is on October 26 against the Minnesota Wild.
