Another potential facility in the Canucks never ending search for a practice rink:
PNE Agrodome. Hmmm.

The PNE, which operates both the Agrodome and the Coliseum, confirmed that the Canucks had approached them about using the Agrodome as a practice facility.
“There has been initial conversations about the Vancouver Canucks using the Agrodome as a practice venue, but these are very early discussions and there would need to be significantly more discussion around further details, including revenue generation for the PNE, as this venue is very important for the PNE and the community,” spokesperson Laura Ballance said.
Last week, the Canucks’ senior brass — including Michael Doyle, Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin and Dax Aquilini — toured Rosemary Brown Recreation Centre in Burnaby and the Britannia Community Centre in Vancouver. The Rosemary Brown facility opened last year and does have some potential for expansion, while the Britannia complex, built in the 1970s, badly needs revitalization, but plans to do so have stalled over the past half-decade or so.
Postmedia understands the Canucks have also looked at the University of B.C., where the team has rented practice ice when needed for more than a decade; Simon Fraser University, team chairman Francesco Aquilini’s alma mater; the Richmond Olympic Oval, which is close to Vancouver International Airport; and the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex, which includes the former home of Fortius Sport and Health — now known as the Christine Sinclair Community Centre, and which will feature a new ice rink and swimming pool, although those won’t be completed until 2028.
Britannia Community Centre? hahah. That's near my hood. Hard pass on Britannia. That community centre badly needs to be revitalized. That centre is a dump.
