The Vancouver Canucks have been trying to build a practice facility for more than a decade. The East Vancouver location is close to downtown, where Rogers Arena is located and where many of their players live. When the Canucks and the City of Vancouver announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding on Thursday, it was met with optimism from the fan base. How can the City of Vancouver, or the Canucks for that matter, proceed with a plan that takes away ice time from children? The Canucks get to build their dream practice facility, with all the bells and whistles that can help attract free agents.
