So, feel free to bring the kids and even your dog, as long as they’re well-behaved and on a leash.
Get ready to bring blankets or chairs and enjoy the games on a big screen with everyone cheering together.
Just a heads up, the event goes on rain or shine, and there won’t be any food sold onsite. So, you might want to pack some snacks and water.
Plan Your Playoffs in the Park!

Community Centers Also Hosting Games!
If you prefer an indoor setting, local community centers are also broadcasting the games. Places like Hillcrest and Roundhouse are just a few spots where you can join neighbors to cheer. The atmosphere is perfect for those who want to enjoy the game comfortably, without worrying about the weather.
If the Canucks advance to the next rounds, the events will get even more exciting! We’re planning an outdoor public experience with drinks allowed at PNE, with room for 6,000 fans. Don’t forget your white towel and keep an eye out for updates!
Here are some tips if you’re heading to the events:
Street parking is limited. Consider biking, walking, or using public transport.
Remember to take your trash with you to help keep the venues clean.
And of course, be considerate when leaving the events to avoid disturbing the neighborhood.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s show our support for the Canucks and enjoy each match together!
And don’t forget to drop a comment below; we’d love to hear about your experience at the events or if you have any extra tips for fellow fans.
Let’s hit the game! #GoCanucks
