Vancouver Canucks Alumni recently found a new home at SurreyBԪַs newest rink.

This fall, close to 30 former NHL players and other alumni association members began scrimmaging weekly at North Surrey Sport & Ice Complex, on Monday nights, in blue-versus-white action.

Canucks Alumni colours, including logo and jerseys through the years, have been painted on walls of the Surrey Knights playersBԪַ lounge, thanks to the efforts of the junior hockey teamBԪַs owner, John Craighead, an alumni member.
