LATEST | Vancouver Canucks reportedly looking to buy another Hockey team
According to The Province, the Vancouver Canucks are looking to purchase the Chilliwack Chiefs, who play in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).
"The Vancouver Canucks are closing in on a deal to buy the BCHL's Chilliwack Chiefs, according to a source close to the negotiations." The Province said.
A source told The Province that the Canucks have been in discussions with the Chiefs since April of this year and have even made a presentation to the BCHL's Board of Governors.
The Chilliwack Chiefs were founded in 1975 and were originally known as the Quesnel Millionaires. The Millionaires were then purchased by a group in Chilliwack who moved the franchise to the city in 2011, naming them the Chiefs. In 2018, the Chiefs host the Canadian Junior A National Championship, which is now called the Centennial Cup, and defeated the OJHL's Wellington Dukes.
