VANCOUVER CANUCKS
VANCOUVER CANUCKS HOCKEY TEAM
The Vancouver Canucks are a professional National Hockey League (NHL) ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Vancouver Canucks Hockey Team was founded in 1945 and joined the NHL in 1970. The Vancouver Canucks hockey arena was initially based at the Pacific Coliseum until 1995 and is currently based at the General Motors Place. The current Vancouver Canucks logo design is a stylized 'C' made up of an Orca breaking out of ice. Their mascot is Fin the Orca.
The Vancouver Canucks hockey jerseys for home are royal blue, maroon and silver on dark blue. For away games they wear royal blue, maroon and silver on white. Alternatively they can also wear maroon, dark blue and silver. The vintage Vancouver Canucks jersey has a stylized 'C', which is made up of a hockey rink and hockey stick. The colors for home are green and white on royal blue and for away are royal blue and green on white.
A question that always seems to be asked about the Canucks is 'Why is the hockey team from Vancouver called the Canucks'?. Well in answer to that the team name is actually derived from Johnny Canuck, a nineteenth century Canadian cartoon. This cartoon has had several reincarnations during the twentieeth century. Johnny Canuck was also on the first Vancouver Canucks logo, back in their Pacific Coast hockey league days. It is therefore a misconception that the hockey team name Canuck was derived from the slang word for a Canadian person in the way 'Yankee' is for an American.
