If you’ve been reading the work published on this site for a while now, you likely have heard we are big fans of Jack Rathbone. He’s without a shadow of a doubt the organization’s second-best prospect, and fans have waited a long time to see the smooth-skating former Harvard defenceman in action at the NHL…
Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks returned home to face off against the Edmonton Oilers. It was Botchford Project night and three young aspiring journalists got to attend morning skate and take in tonight’s game from the press box. CanucksArmy’s very own Clarissa Sabile was in attendance to take in the game, and was selected by the…

That was, until…
Another week, another mailbag. Although, this isn’t any ordinary mailbag. As you may have guessed by the title, this is a LIVE mailbag and will be updated throughout the day. We haven’t done a live mailbag since the first day of training camp, and much like we did then, I’ll try to answer as many…
