On Sunday, January 3rd, the Canucks officially begin their training camp with an opening press conference along with player medicals and testing.
The next day, Canucks roster locks and hopefuls will hit the ice, with the first game of the season taking place nine days later in Edmonton against the Oilers on January 13th.
41 players were named to the Canucks training camp roster on Wednesday. There will be an added layer of intrigue this year with both young players battling for open roster spots, and the expected addition of a taxi squad which should include an extra 4-6 players.
