Vancouver Canucks training camp opened today in Penticton with the club showing off some interesting forward lines and d-pairings. I review everything that took place on day one and I recap what Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, Thatcher Demko, and Adam Foote.
Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin, and Adam Foote all spoke to the media a few hours before the Vancouver Canucks flew to Penticton for the start of training camp.
I break down their comments and reflect on their thoughts on Quinn Hughes, Elias Pettersson, and putting last season behind them. I also do a quick preview of training camp which will go from Thursday to Sunday in Penticton.
I recap the pair of Canucks prospects games from the weekend and look ahead to training camp that starts in Penticton on Thursday.

To a man, Vancouver Canucks players seem happy that most of the roster is coming back, with only a couple of minor changes.
Is this group good enough to return to the playoffs this season?
Who should play on Elias Pettersson's wing for the Vancouver Canucks? I discuss the pros and cons of Evander Kane, Jake DeBrusk, and Nils Hoglander.As well, I announce a brand new channel sponsor!
Marcus Pettersson could be an X-factor for the Vancouver Canucks this season. After being traded to the Canucks last season, Pettersson played extremely well without the benefit of playing with (or behind) a healthy Quinn Hughes.I explain why Marcus Pettersson will be such a key factor to the Canucks' hopeful success this season.
Finally we are past Labour Day Weekend and that means that hockey is near! Many of the Canucks skated today and Evander Kane met with the media. Also, Quinn Hughes gave a revealing interview to Sportnet's Iain MacIntyre.
I break it all down, and I give a quick recap of my Vegas trip.
The Vancouver Canucks have had many ups and downs throughout their history. I talk about each of the six decades of Canucks hockey in an effort to discover which one is the best.
The Vancouver Canucks seem poised to start the upcoming NHL season with Filip Chytil as their number two centre. Will that be good enough?
Thatcher Demko and Brock Boeser were not named to USA Hockey's Olympic Orientation camp roster, while Quinn Hughes and Conor Garland were.Can you build a case for either player as to why they should have been included?
With Vancouver Canucks training camp in Penticton just one month away, I look at some potential positional battles and at the Canucks' prospect depth overall. As well, I do a thorough recap of my CCC Meet-Up...a great time was definitely had by all!
I give my predictions for the Vancouver Canucks opening night roster before sharing a major announcement. The feedback to the announcement is extremely lively and positive; you'll want to check this episode out!
The Vancouver Canucks will enter the 2025-26 season with a revamped blue line that looks drastically different than the one that started last season. How much better will this version be? And will it be good enough to help propel the team back to the playoffs?
It's no secret that the Vancouver Canucks go as Elias Pettersson goes. Petey seems ready for a bounce back season after a disastrous campaign last year. We talk about whether or not he will succeed.
I spend a few minutes talking about the Canucks' signing of Vitali Kravtsov before I welcome viewers to the CCC Open House. It's never a dull moment with the CCC crew!
Vancouver Canucks fans have high hopes in their goalie tandem of Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen. I talk about how well it stacks up against the rest of the Canadian teams, the rest of the Pacific Division, and the rest of the league.
We talked about our favourite Vancouver Canucks players...past and present. As well, we gave away some prizes including CCC merch, a Vanbase gift card, and an Amazon gift card as a result of us achieving the High 5 last stream!
We all have different reasons for cheering on the Vancouver Canucks. In this show, I shared some thoughts on what it means to be a Canucks fan, before turning it over to the viewers to learn about how they became fans. It was a very enlightening show!
As the Vancouver Canucks roster stands right now, are they a playoff team? I examined this question during the show, and I explored ways they can still improve their roster to increase their chances of making the postseason.
I look at how the Canucks special teams may line up this season, especially considering the addition of Evander Kane and the departures of Pius Suter and Dakota Joshua.
Also, I give a recap of my trip to Vegas with my lovely wife Gail, including my reflections on the Backstreet Boys concert at the Sphere.
