Vancouver Canucks Release Expanded Black Skate Alternate Jersey Schedule

As fans likely noticed, the Vancouver Canucks opted to wear their Black Skate alternate jersey during during their home & season opener back on October 9th against the Calgary Flames.

Fans of the team have grown quite fond of the uniforms, which were worn from 1985-1997, in recent years after they were brought back as their 50th anniversary jersey during the 2019-20 campaign and as a full fledged alternate from 2023 until now.

With some members of the fan base calling for the club to bring them back as their home jerseys and re-introducing the white version as their away, it looks like we could be getting close to that happening, as the organization has increased the amount of times they'll be donning these uniforms during the 2025-26 season.

In a press release earlier this week, the Vancouver Canucks announced their black 'Skate' jersey schedule for the 2025-26 season, which will see Adam Foote's group wear the unifrom a total of 20 times - 48 percent of their home games, and an increase of two from last year.

Let's take a look at all 20 dates that the club will be wearing these fan-favourite uniforms.
