Canucks Announce New Partnership
Canucks Sports & Entertainment (CS&E) is proud to announce a new partnership with Scotiabank, the Official Bank of the Vancouver Canucks.
The partnership will focus on programs aimed at supporting fans, community initiatives and grassroots hockey.
The Vancouver Canucks and Scotiabank formally announced their partnership today at a press conference attended by Canucks alumnus and current Sr. Advisor to the General Manager Stan Smyl, Canucks COO Victor de Bonis and Scotiabank Senior Vice President BC Region, Dave Poole at Rogers Arena.
To celebrate the new partnership, Scotiabank will present the Canucks Open Scrimmage September 13-15, 2013, a free, fan event featuring live scrimmages with current players and top prospects hoping to make the team.
In addition to the scrimmage games, on Saturday September 14th, fans can also look forward to interactive hockey features, Canuck alumni autograph signings and exclusive interviews with current Canucks players as well as alumni.

Scotiabank sponsors more than 4,500 minor hockey teams and leagues across Canada as part of their Scotiabank Community Hockey Sponsorship Program.
Over the course of the partnership, Scotiabank and the Canucks will provide initiatives and programs (including a community hockey in-game feature) where local teams who have made a positive impact on their community will be recognized during Canucks home games.
