McBackup Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 How does this work exactly? Wouldn't players become Alums once they retire? Or do they have to apply for membership? And whats the deal with the associate members? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Hopefully they won’t give them jobs in key management areas in hockey operations without “learning the ropes” first. Edited June 13, 2021 by NewbieCanuckFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I don't get it. Why isn't Markus Naslund or Trevor Linden in this? Or Geoff/Russ Courtnall? Or Ronning? This Alumni thing makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 I do know that the group is fairly involved in community events and sponsorships, so perhaps a commitment to that end of things is part of it? I'd imagine, like anything, there are nominations and votes? Or perhaps there's a certain thresh hold (years? games?) that's set? Whatever the deal is, I love this organization. I see Babych and Lumme at all kinds of events and they're so open and approachable. Just a really good group of guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Not a bad line-up of rookies there.. they'd probably give the current Canuck roster a run for its money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 No Kesler tho eh?? THought he and Bieksa were joined at the hip, would have been a quiet way to get him slowly integrated back with the team. Kesler was a beast for us at times, he wore his heart on his sleeve...sound familiar?? I would say Kesler and JT Miller both Americans, were/are well respected players and fan favourites. Unfortunately, Kesler kind of screwed us when he wouldn't give a proper list of teams he would waive for...so fans hate him for doing that and as time has gone on and his career is over that hate has subsided but I will never forget him doing that. He was right in wanting out, he saw the ship sinking and the team still felt like they were cup contenders...Kesler 1- Canucks brass 0 in that regard!

What's more is that not every retiree joins the alumni. My experience as a young fan taught me that when I expected to see all the 90s legends when going to alumni games and certainly didn't.
