Starting tomorrow (Feb. 25) the Abbotsford Canucks will have the potential to play in front of a full house.
It’s the first time in 2022 that the American Hockey League team has a home game with the capacity restrictions lifted by the provincial government.
The #AbbyCanucks return home for a two-game set against the division-leading Stockton Heat (Calgary Flames) beginning on Friday! 🔥
