Vancouver Canucks Celebrate Women’s Empowerment Night in Tonight’s Game Against the Anaheim Ducks

Today is International Women’s Day, and the Vancouver Canucks are going to do their part in acknowledging the occasion with another special feature night in their game tonight against the Anaheim Ducks.

During tonight’s game, the Canucks will acknowledge the women who have made an impact on the organization. This will range from the women who help the Canucks on and off the ice. Such roles can be coaching staff, managers, agents, scouts, and so. 

The Vancouver Canucks do have a lot of female staff on their team. Back in January 2022, the Canucks became the first NHL team in history to hire a woman as an assistant GM. Her name is Emilie Castonguay, and she is still currently with the team. 

The Canucks just recently posted a photo on their Twitter account of all their female staff at center ice. The women in the photo don’t necessarily just work for the Canucks, they could also work for the Abbotsford Canucks, Vancouver’s Lacrosse team, the Vancouver Warriors, or the Canucks’ e-sports teams of the Vancouver Titans and the Seattle Surge. 

The Canucks are known to have many celebratory nights throughout their home-game schedule. While this special occasion night won’t be as hectic as other special occasion nights (like Diwali Night and First Nation’s Night), it’ll still be a special night to commemorate the female staff members of the Canucks family.

Tonight’s game will on at 7 pm (PST) tonight, with female staff member videos/interviews likely set to occur throughout the game during commercial breaks, period intermissions, etc. The Canucks are currently on a 2-game winning streak, having scored 4 goals in both games. The Canucks will look to make it 3 in a row tonight as they play the 4th game of their 6-game homestand, with the Ottawa Senators and Dallas Stars being the final opponents of their homestand.
