The Vancouver Canucks have made a big announcement this week regarding their main training camp ahead of the 2025-26 National Hockey League season.
Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin has done a pretty good job in recent weeks to prepare the team for next season by trading for Evander Kane, re-signing forward Brock Boeser long-term, contract extensions for Conor Garland and Thatcher Demko, along with some minor signings as well.
There are still 90 days separating us from the start NHL's 2025-26 regular season, which means we're in for a pretty long summer, especially with the majority of the team's offseason moves already completed, however the countdown to training camp is officially on.
