“The Abbotsford Canucks’ brand reflects the long history, local connection and new opportunities that this team brings to our community,” said City of Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun. “I am looking forward to joining all of the fans in cheering on our new hometown team.”
The Johnny Canuck logo has been part of the fabric of Vancouver Canucks history. The design elements maintain a strong connection to the past while forging a new beginning in Abbotsford.
