Rogers Arena has been the home ice of the Vancouver Canucks since 1995. Located in downtown Vancouver, the arena also hosts lacrosse and other sporting events as well as concerts. The arena was originally known as General Motors Place until 2010 when Rogers Communications took over the naming rights.
The Vancouver Canucks joined the NHL in 1970 as an expansion team and are currently members of the Western Conference Pacific Division. Although they have advanced to the finals three times, they have yet to win a Stanley Cup. Prior to the NHL’s 1970 expansion, Vancouver had been home to minor league hockey teams, setting the stage for a big league club.
