Ron, I thought you were younger than that. The Vancouver Canucks have been around since 1945! They became an NHL franchise in 1970.rsdoran said:I dont remember there being a hockey team with that name back then either.
In 1945 the Pacific Coast Hockey League established an ice hockey franchise in the city of Vancouver. Known as the Canucks, they immediately enjoyed success by winning the PCHL championship in only their second year of existence. In 1952, the PCHL merged with the Western Canada Senior Hockey League to form the professional Western Hockey League. With numerous star players coming through the ranks like Johnny Bower, Andy Bathgate, Tony Esposito, Don Cherry and Phil Maloney, the Canucks won the Lester Patrick Cup in 1958, 1960, 1969 and 1970.
I've never really considered the term offensive, but I wish Kiwis would at least learn to pronounce it correctly.rsdoran said:The hardest part about any language is knowing when slang or some terminology is allowed. That applies even if its your native language.
I turned 52 on May 7th, 1970 was the summer I was in the Territorities. I was never a big hockey fan but I thought they were new when they became an NHL franchise. In those days I was young and dumb.....so didnt pay attention to alot of things.Ron, I thought you were younger than that. The Vancouver Canucks have been around since 1945!
