The National Hockey League (NHL) team the Vancouver Canucks are based out of Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. The teams plays in the Western Conference's Northwest Division.

In 1970, the Canucks and Buffalo Sabres joined the NHL as expansion teams. The team has made three Stanley Cup Finals. In 1982, they lost to New York Islanders, in 1994 to New York Rangers and in 2011 to Boston Bruins. The team has won one Presidents Trophy. As a Smythe Division member Vancouver won their division three times and since 1993 as members of the Northwest Division have won a total of six titles.

Three Canucks players' jerseys have been retired- Markus Naslund, Trevor Linden and Stan Smyl. All three were team captains for the Canucks and at one point were the all-time point scoring leader for the team.
