General Motors Place is Vancouver’s destination for concerts, comedy, and the Canucks. Seeing a thrilling ice-hockey game at the arena is an experience to remember, with superior sight-lines from every seat. Pick up a souvenir hockey puck – or even some autographed memorabilia – at Gate Six, where the Canucks team store is located. Even if you’re not visiting during an event or a Canucks home game, you can take a tour every Wednesday and Friday… get a look inside those private hospitality suites, and a backstage peek at where players get ready for the game.
