Thanks

The Niagara Falls Canucks would like to send a big thank you to all our players, staff, volunteers and fans on a terrific 2019-2020 season.
Due to the Coronavirus, the remainder of the playoffs have been cancelled by our governing body- Hockey Canada, in order to ensure player and spectator health and safety.

While we are terribly disappointed that the season ends this way, we are proud of the accomplishments by this terrific group of players, and were looking forward to defending our GHC Playoff Championship once again. Having said this, our 2nd place finish in the Regular Season is a tribute to the fine group of young men we had in our dressing room, and we already look forward to the 2020-2021 season!

As disappointing as this is for everyone involved, we want to wish our graduating players all the best in their future endeavors- both on and off the ice. Justin Kyle, Justin Schneider, Eric Becker, Ryan Donovan, Danial Singer, Andrew Somerville, Carson Edwardson, Cody Wall and Sam Bourdages, we remind you that our doors are always open, and to remember you are always family- "Once a Canuck, Always a Canuck!'

Thanks once again to everyone, and we look forward to seeing you at the Gale Centre in August!
