Junior Canucks Bring the Hockey Spirit to Yekooche

Junior Canucks Bring the Hockey Spirit to Yekooche

December 23, 2025

In November, Yekooche welcomed the Junior Vancouver Canucks in partnership with the CSFS Health Promotion and Physical Literacy Program. The team included Vancouver Canucks legend and ambassador Kirk McLean, along with the club’s longtime NHL mascot, Fin the Whale.

The visit was part of the Canucks for Kids Fund's mission to ensure every child in B.C. has a chance to play hockey. The event gave Yekooche children a chance to play floor hockey while bringing the community together to share a meal and connect with the guests.

The event concluded with a powerful drumming performance by the Yekooche Youth Drummers, followed by smiles and photos with the Canucks team. Special floor hockey equipment was donated to the school to help promote physical activity in the community.

Autographs and photo opportunities with Kirk and Fin capped off an unforgettable day. Special thanks to Yekooche for opening their doors and hearts to this initiative, and to the Junior Canucks team for making a difference in the lives of children across the province.
