Insider information:

- In light of the poor start and fans breaking allegiance so quickly, effective immediately, jerseys will now be locked to the person with a chain as to avoid ending up on the ice. The lock will be released upon exit.

- It will no longer be permitted to claim to support the team, then abandon it before the halfway mark of the season. Doing so exempts you from being a fan until the following season.

the TD Bowl....say it fast-- the Tidy bowl 

If we ended up with 'Toronto Dominion' on the name of our building that would be the ultimate 'fuck you' to fans.

 

Still, very curious about what it could be considering half the arenas in Canada either have Scotiabank or Rogers as their name sponsor.

Maybe they have finally decided on a site.

Canucks building new practice facility and renos coming to Rogers Arena

  • The Canucks also appear to be in the final stage of deciding where to build a new practice facility. As first reported by Daily Hive in 2018, the Canucks were in talks to build a practice rink across the street from Rogers Arena, as part of the Plaza of Nations redevelopment. Those plans were abandoned in 2021, so it was back to the drawing board.

“The other priority, and we’re gaining momentum on it, is the practice rink,” Rutherford said. “Getting down to two, maybe three different sites. Very close to making a decision on the site.”

Refreshing the dressing room was a priority for Mike Gillis after he was hired as GM, with major renovations coming in 2009. The Canucks, unlike some other teams around the league, have never had a proper practice facility outside of their home rink, forcing them to skate at UBC and Scotia Barn (formerly Burnaby 8-Rinks) when Rogers Arena is occupied.

The Canucks don’t need to look far for an example of a state-of-the-art practice facility, as the Seattle Kraken built one at Northgate prior to their inaugural season.

This isnt major.   No one cares about this.

Last night, I thought it may be a new FM radio deal. If not that, then Francesco Aquilini  stepping away. Heard on the radio this morning that Rogers is in big 

money trouble, so that might mean stepping away from some things they are currently, in varying degrees, supporting. 

Now that would be major. All the other stuff could be considered a simple press conference.
