See one of the following for additional information on our local sports clubs:

• BC Lions - Football
• Vancouver Canucks - Hockey
• Vancouver Canadians - Baseball

BC Lions
The 60,000-seat, domed BC Place stadium is home to the 2000 Canadian Football League champions, the BC Lions. Each year, nine Canadian teams compete, June to November, ending the season in a battle at the Grey Cup Championships - a Canadian tradition and a truly exciting event to watch! Canadian football is played with three downs on a longer and wider field than American football, which creates a faster-moving and more intense pass-oriented game. Come check it out! For information and tickets contact the BC Lions Football Club (604.583.7747) or www.bclions.com.

Vancouver Canucks
Canada loves hockey. It's considered the national sport - and cheering on your favorite team or player is the national pastime.

The Vancouver local team, the Canucks, play home games at GM Place and are so popular, games are often sold out from the beginning of the hockey season - so always book tickets well in advance!

For more information contact GM Place (604.899.7400) or visit www.canucks.com. For tickets contact Ticketmaster (604.280.4400).

Vancouver Canadians
Come out and cheer on the Vancouver Canadians Professional Baseball Club! Enjoy a Hot-Dog & Beer in the beautiful outdoor setting of the best little ball park in the world - Nat Bailey Stadium! The C's play from June - Sept.
