The Vancouver Canucks are a Canadian professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Canucks joined the league in 1970–71 season as an expansion team, along with the Buffalo Sabres.
In their history, the team has captured the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl as Western Conference champions in 1982, 1994 and 2011, but lost in their three Stanley Cup appearances to the New York Islanders, New York Rangers and Boston Bruins, respectively.[1] The Sedin twins have won a combined four awards.[2][3] Markus Naslund has played in five NHL All-Star Games, the most in Canucks history.
Six players have had their numbers retired by the Canucks organization. Stan Smyl became the first Canuck to have his #12 retired in 1991, followed by Trevor Linden's #16 in 2008, Markus Naslund's #19 in 2010, Pavel Bure's #10 in 2013, Henrik Sedin's #33, and Daniel Sedin's #22 in 2020. Although they have been recognized for their accomplishments with different teams, Igor Larionov, Cam Neely, Mark Messier, Mats Sundin and Pavel Bure are several Hockey Hall of Famers who have played for the Canucks during their careers; former owner Frank Griffiths, coach Roger Neilson and general managers Bud Poile, Jake Milford and Pat Quinn have been inducted as builders. Twin brothers Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin, who played in Vancouver for their entire careers, as well as goaltender Roberto Luongo who was an integral part of the team for nearly a decade, were all inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2022.
The Canucks have seven internal team awards – the Molson Cup is awarded to the player who earns the most three-star selections throughout the season; the Cyclone Taylor Trophy is given to the team's most valuable player; Cyrus H. McLean Trophy recognizes the Canucks' leading scorer; the Walter "Babe" Pratt Trophy is given to the best Canucks defenceman; the Fred J. Hume Award is awarded to the Canucks' unsung hero, the Pavel Bure Most Exciting Player Award is awarded to the player judged to be the most exciting on the team, and the Daniel & Henrik Sedin Award is awarded to the player who has best demonstrated community leadership. Each of these awards are presented towards the end of the season.

All-Star Game selections
editThe National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Forty-one All-Star Games have been held since the Canucks' inaugural season. The All-Star Game has not been held in various years: 1995, 2005 and 2013 as a result of labour stoppages; 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; 2006, 2010 and 2014 because of the Winter Olympics; 1979 and 1987 due to the 1979 Challenge Cup; and the Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team.[36] The NHL also held a Young Stars Game for first- and second-year players from 2002 to 2009.
The Canucks hosted the 1977 All-Star Game at the Pacific Coliseum and the 1998 NHL All-Star Game at General Motors Place. In 1977, Harold Snepsts was the lone Canucks representative as the Wales Conference defeated the Campbell Conference 4–3 in front of 15,607 in attendance. In 1998, both Mark Messier and Pavel Bure were the two Canucks representatives at the All-Star Game, with Messier playing for the North America All-Stars and Bure with the World All-Stars. Team North America won the game 8–7 in front of a sold-out crowd of 18,422. Currently, Markus Naslund played a franchise-high five All-Star Games as a member of the Canucks and Brock Boeser is the only Canuck to ever be named NHL All-Star MVP (2018).[37]

Career achievements
editHockey Hall of Fame
editBefore entering the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks of the WHL and PCHL had six notable players and one builder that was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The list of Hall of Famers included Andy Bathgate, Johnny Bower, Tony Esposito, Allan Stanley, Gump Worsley and former owner Fred J. Hume, who was inducted under the Builders category. Bill Cowley was also inducted as a player, although his only affiliation with the Canucks was general manager and head coach in 1948–49.
Since entering the NHL in 1970, several members of the Vancouver Canucks organization have been honoured by the Hockey Hall of Fame. Cam Neely was the first Canucks player inducted, gaining election in 2005, although the majority of Neely's career and success was spent with the Boston Bruins. Within the next three years, Mark Messier would also be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007, along with Igor Larionov in 2008 and Mats Sundin in 2012, though their career accomplishments were well-known on other teams.
Pavel Bure was the first Hall of Famer to spend the majority of his playing career with the Canucks. Known for his skating ability, the "Russian Rocket" spent seven seasons in Vancouver, accumulating 478 points (254 goals and 224 assists) in 428 games, winning the Calder Memorial Trophy as rookie of the year in 1992, being named an NHL First All-Star in 1994 and participated in four NHL All-Star Games. He is also the current club record holder for most goals in a season (60; (both 1992–93 and 1993–94) and club holder of most shorthanded goals (24).
Henrik Sedin, alongside twin brother Daniel Sedin, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2022. In doing so, they became the first players to have spent their entire careers with the Canucks to achieve this honour. Henrik was known as the playmaker, while Daniel was the goal scorer. Henrik leads the franchise in games played (1330), assists (830) and points (1040), while Daniel leads in goals (393) and trails only his brother in the aforementioned categories. Henrik's greatest season was 2009-10, where he captured the Canucks' first Art Ross Trophy and Hart Trophy with a franchise-record 112 points. Daniel would follow up that feat with his own Art Ross Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award in 2010-11. The brothers became the only sibling duo to win consecutive scoring titles and to this day are the only pair to both surpass 1000 career points. Alongside fellow 2022 inductee Roberto Luongo, the Sedin twins led the Canucks on their own deep playoff run, eventually falling short to the Boston Bruins in a hard fought 7 game finals series in 2011. The Sedins capped off their near two-decade careers as Canucks in 2018 by sharing the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, a tribute to the respect they garnered from their peers.
Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022, Roberto Luongo established several Canucks team records. "Bobby Lu" tops the franchise goalie rankings in wins (252), save percentage (.919, min. 100 GP), GAA (2.36, min. 100 GP) and shutouts (38). In 2006-07, Luongo set personal and franchise records playing in 76 games and winning 47, 1 behind the NHL record for wins in a season (48), earning him 2nd place finishes for both the Vezina Trophy and the Hart Trophy. As a member of the host city's NHL franchise, Luongo would emerge as the starting netminder for Team Canada as they went on to win gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, his first of two Olympic gold medals (2010, 2014). In 2010-11, Luongo would once again be nominated for the Vezina Trophy as he tied the league-lead with 38 wins. For his efforts, as well as his teammates, the Canucks won a franchise-best 54 wins and captured the first of two President's Trophies in Lu's tenure. Allowing the fewest goals of any team in the NHL that season, Luongo and his backup Cory Schneider were awarded the William M. Jennings Trophy.
Five members of team management have been inducted in the "Builders" category. Two former general managers, Bud Poile and Jake Milford, were the first two members inducted into the Hall of Fame. Poile was the Canucks' first general manager in 1970 and was inducted in 1990, while Milford became general manager from 1977 to 1982, building the team that went to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1982. Milford served as the club's senior vice-president until his sudden death on December 24, 1984, which occurred one month after his induction.
Long-time owner Frank Griffiths would be the third Canucks builder to be inducted in 1993. Griffiths was the majority owner of the Canucks from 1974 until his death in 1994.
In 2002, Former head coach Roger Neilson became the fourth Canucks builder to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Neilson started as an assistant coach, but eventually took over the coaching duties in March 1982 after coach Harry Neale was suspended for taking part in an altercation with fans during a brawl in Quebec. In that same year, Neilson led the Canucks to the Finals and in Game 2 of the Campbell Conference Finals against the Chicago Blackhawks; he felt his team was unfairly penalized on several occasions during the third period and took a trainer's white towel and held it on a hockey stick, as if to say, "I give up." Three other Canuck players did the same thing, and all were ejected from the game. By doing so, Neilson inadvertently started a Canucks playoff tradition known as "Towel Power."
The third general manager and fifth builder to be inducted into the Hall of Fame was Pat Quinn who served as Canucks' general manager for ten years with four of those years as head coach. Quinn, was known for building the Canucks to respectability during the early nineties as the team finished with back-to-back division titles in 1992 and 1993, and were one win away from winning the Stanley Cup in 1994. That success was due in part with the trades that Pat Quinn started in 1987 when his first move was obtaining a young goaltender, Kirk McLean and left winger, Greg Adams from the New Jersey Devils and picking two notable drafts with future captain, Trevor Linden in 1988 and future superstar, Pavel Bure in 1989. He later strengthened the team by making trades to acquire Geoff Courtnall, Cliff Ronning, Sergio Momesso and Robert Dirk from the St. Louis Blues in 1991, which paved the way for the team's success. His other most notable trade came in the 1996 season when he traded Alek Stojanov to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Markus Naslund, which is seen as one of the NHL's most lopsided trades as Naslund became a superstar player in the NHL during the 2000s and was part of the famed "West Coast Express" line with Todd Bertuzzi and Brendan Morrison.

Foster Hewitt Memorial Award
editTwo former regional broadcasters for the Vancouver Canucks have been honoured with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award. Former Canucks radio and television broadcaster Jim Robson was named the recipient of the award in 1992 mostly for his years of service on the team's broadcasts. Robson was the radio voice of the Canucks from 1970 to 1994 and continued to work their television broadcasts until 1999. Robson also did additional work with CBC Television's Hockey Night in Canada, calling three All-Star Games, parts of four Stanley Cup Finals.[105] The other, also a former Canucks radio and television broadcaster, Jim Hughson, was a recipient of the award in 2019 for his work on regional Canucks broadcasts, as well as nationally on Hockey Night in Canada.[106]

| Jim Robson | 1992 | 1970–1999 |
| Jim Hughson | 2019 | 1980–1982, 1994–2008 |
Retired numbers
edit
The Vancouver Canucks have retired six numbers. The Canucks retired #12 in honour of Stan Smyl who played right wing for the Canucks from 1978 to 1991 and is tied for the most years served as captain with 8. Trevor Linden's #16 was retired in 2008, and was recognized as "Captain Canuck" during his 17 years with the Canucks from 1988–98 and 2001–08. Markus Naslund's #19 was retired in 2010, and was the first Canuck to win the Lester B. Pearson Award for Most Outstanding Player as voted by the players. Hockey Hall of Famer Pavel Bure's #10 was retired in 2013, and is the current single-season club record holder for most goals in a season (60; both 1992–93 and 1993–94) and current club holder of most short handed goals (24). Most recently, Daniel and Henrik Sedin's #22 and #33 were retired in 2020. Henrik is the Canucks all-time regular season leader in game played (1330), assists (830) and points (1070), while Daniel is 2nd in all the aforementioned stats and holds the Canucks regular season records for goals (393), power play goals (138) and overtime goals (16).
Also out of circulation is the number 99 which was retired league-wide for Wayne Gretzky on February 6, 2000.[107] Gretzky did not play for the Canucks during his 20-year NHL career and no Canucks player had ever worn the number 99 prior to its retirement.[108][109]

Taken out of circulation
editThe Vancouver Canucks have also unofficially retired three numbers within their organization as remembrance to players whose playing careers were cut short while a member of the franchise.
Wayne Maki played left wing for the Canucks from 1970–73, and was one of the team's leading scorers in the franchises first two seasons. He was diagnosed with brain cancer in December 1972 and died at the age of 29 in 1974.[113] Since then, Mark Messier has been the only Canuck to wear #11 with the Canucks.
Luc Bourdon died in a motorcycle accident on May 29, 2008, near his hometown of Shippagan, New Brunswick.[114] At the 2008–09 season opener, the Canucks honoured Bourdon with a pre-game ceremony and his last game-worn jersey was presented to his family by the fan who won the jersey during an annual charity event the previous season. Afterwards, Tom Cochrane and Red Rider performed "Big League" during the video tribute. The Canucks also wore "LB" on their helmets that season in memory of Bourdon and the Luc Bourdon Wall of Dreams was established to commemorate Bourdon at General Motors Place.
Rick Rypien was found dead in his home in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, on August 15, 2011, and the cause of death was later confirmed as suicide. Although he joined the Winnipeg Jets in the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, the Canucks honored Rypien's memory early in the 2011–12 season with a video entitled "Heart of a Canuck" and an homage to Rypien was worn on the back of all Canucks helmets for the entirety of the 2011–12 season.
