LATEST | Major update regarding Canucks' practice facility advancements
The Vancouver Canucks are looking to renovate � not Rogers Arena, rather a practice facility.
Vancouver has struggled to make permanent home to a practice facility, having a deal with Burnaby 8 Rinks fall through in 2010 over renovation costs. Now, they will look to renovate an existing facility rather than build their own.
GM Jim Rutherford spoke about the ongoing situation:
Whenever Rogers Arena has been unavailable for use, the team typically heads to UBC for practice and off-ice training � though it's far from a permanent solution.
Rutherford feels confident that the Canucks will have a plan in place by the end of the season. For now, everything points toward the Canucks renovating an already existing facility rather than building a new one.
Rick Tocchet called out the team's ownership on the subject earlier this season and the Aquillini's have yet to take action on this matter.
