Canucks Training Camp (Prince George)

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any information about the training camp besides the initial media release? Tickets/day passes went on sale this week, and I've already got passes for all 3 days (Sept 18-19-20).

The Canucks are scheduled for the first exhibition game on the 21st. I'm curious to know how many players are expected at the camp in PG. With it so close to exhibition games I'm assuming that they will have to make quite a few cuts beforehand.

I'm also wondering about which prospects will be at the camp in PG. I think this could go in Canucks Talk but I'd like to be able to discuss the players who may make the team in this thread during the camp as well as possibly post some videos as well for the people that won't be able to watch the training camp.

If anyone has any info about a schedule for the camp or anything else it would be great to add it to this thread.

I got tickets for all 3 days too. Damn good deal spent 40 bucks and got 3 for sat and Sunday and 2 for Friday.

I was trying to find info but could only find the media release too. I'm pretty sure there will be quite a few players here, I think they're splitting it up into 3 different on ice groups. Remember subban playing in a preseason game before they sent him back.

Wouldn't be surprised to see some fan activities in there. Man I'm so pumped. It's pretty awesome that they're doing this for communities outside van. I haven't been to a game since the bure linden days when I was 7. I'm gonna be like a little girl at a backstreet boys concert lol

I wonder if they'll do a blue vs white intersquad game?

I remember going to a few training camps in Kamloops in 1994. 1999 2002 got a few autographs also they were a week long if I remember correctly. They should move training camp around from town to town like next year have it in Kelowna or trail cranbrook penticton places like those also have it a week long 5 days

I think the coaches seminars etc are going to happen in kin1 I read about it somewhere. also the young kids can win a training session with the coaching staff and some players I think that is also in kin1 but don't quote me on it.

I hope they have lots of off ice stuff for the kids to do in between on ice training. Or its gonna be a long day with the little ones lol.
