The Vancouver Canucks have officially survived the first day of training camp.
As expected, it was a pretty exciting day at the Abbotsford Centre. For the first time in 562 days, fans were able to enter an arena to watch their favourite hometown team, while players were finally able to hit the ice to meet new teammates and possible potential linemates.
The team hit the ice from 9:00am to 1:15pm on Thursday, followed by in-person media availability, yet another event that hadn’t taken place in just under two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some players excelled, while others struggled out of the gate.
