On Monday, the Vancouver Canucks announced their 2026 development camp roster.
The camp will be held at the Rogers Forum in Abbotsford from Tuesday, June 30 through Thursday, July 2, and will feature 25 prospects (17 forwards, five defencemen and three goaltenders. Here is the entire list of all 25 prospects who will be on the ice in Abbotsford this week.
Forwards: Niklas Aaram-Olsen, Lucian Bernát, Wilson Björck, Austin Brimmer, Gabriel Chiarot, Braeden Cootes, Connor Dale, Connor Davis, Kieren Dervin, Daimon Gardner, Caleb Malhotra, Adam Novotný, Riley Patterson, Matthew Perkins, Brooks Rogowski, Anthony Romani, and Bennett Schimek.
Defencemen: Parker Alcos, Aiden Celebrini, Samuel Eriksson, Basile Sansonnens, and Nate Tivey.
Goalies: Nils Robert Maurins, Aleksei Medvedev, and Anders Miller.
Seven of the nine prospects the Canucks selected in the 2026 NHL Draft will be in attendance, including all four of their Round 1 and Round 2 picks: Caleb Malhotra, Adam Novotný, Brooks Rogowski, and Niklas Aaram-Olsen. Late-round picks Connor Davis, Lucian Bernát, and Samuel Eriksson will partake, while third- and fourth-round picks Dmitri Ivchenko and Yaroslav Bryzgalov will not.
Donnie & Dhali’s Rick Dhaliwa shared via X that Bryzgalov will not be partaking due to travel visa issues. CanucksArmy is working on the reasoning for why Ivchenko will not be there.
Other notable prospects to be attending training camp are 2025 first-round pick Braeden Cootes, 2025 second-round pick Aleksei Medvedev, and 2024 fourth-round pick Riley Patterson.
Players not in the Canucks prospect pool to earn invites to development camp are Connor Dale, Nate Tivey, Nils Robert Maurins, and Anders Miller. Austin Brimmer and Beckett Schimek are listed as invitees, although they signed AHL contracts with the Abbotsford Canucks last season.
Brimmer picked up one assist in 13 games, while Schimek scored five goals and 11 points through his 13-game stint in Abbotsford. Connor Dale spent last season with the WHL’s Tri-City Americans, Nate Tivey with the NCAA’s Quinnipiac University, Nils Robert Maurins with the USHL’s Omaha Lancers, and Anders Miller with the WHL’s Everett Silvertips.
