Since their inception in 2021, the Abbotsford Canucks have called Rogers Forum home, with the franchise quickly becoming a cornerstone of the local sports landscape. Recently celebrating the anniversary of their fifth season in the city, the team’s growth has been fueled by a passionate and loyal fan base whose energy fills the venue on game days. That support played a vital role in the Abbotsford Canucks capturing their first-ever Calder Cup during the 2024.25 season, an achievement made possible by the unwavering commitment of their fans.

Community impact has also been a hallmark of Rogers Forum, with more than $5.6 million raised for local causes through the Canucks for Kids Fund’s 50/50 program over the past five years. Made possible by the incredible support of fans, these contributions have helped fund vital programs and strengthen the community, leaving a lasting impact across the Fraser Valley.

Canucks Sports & Entertainment says it is proud to continue building on the legacy of Rogers Forum as a place where live events and community come together in a city that means so much to the organization and its fans.

“The City of Abbotsford’s partnership with Canucks Sports & Entertainment has been incredibly positive, bringing people together, building community and providing exceptional fan experiences, and we are thrilled to be extending this relationship for another five years,” said Ross Siemens, Mayor of Abbotsford. “We are proud to have the Abbotsford Canucks continue to call our city and Rogers Forum home and we look forward to welcoming even more live events and unforgettable experiences to our community.”
