Former Abbotsford Canuck defenceman Christian Wolanin has officially found his next opportunity, signing a Professional Tryout Agreement with the Providence Bruins.
We’re back! The Vancouver Canucks defeated the Seattle Kraken 3-1 at home to open their preseason. It was the first chance for all of us to look at what the team’s systems will look like, and how they would stack up against NHL competition.
After a four-day break in action, any momentum either team had gained from game one was long gone. In a crucial game two of a best-of-five series, the Canucks had their moments, but ultimately faced an incredible performance from the opposing netminder.
In their fourth and final matchup of the season against the San Diego Gulls, the Abbotsford Canucks aimed for a commanding 3–1 series win. Despite a chance for victory, the Canucks fell short, dropping a 2-1 decision in a shootout.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
Despite being a quiet night at the Abbotsford Centre, the second game of the back-to-back between the Abbotsford Canucks and Ontario Reign proved to be an electric one.
