Abbotsford Canucks Defeat Charlotte Checkers 3-2 In Game 6, Win 2025 Calder Cup
The Abbotsford Canucks defeated the Charlotte Checkers 3-2 in Game 6 and have won the 2025 Calder Cup, the first in franchise history.
After a tense year for the Vancouver Canucks, their AHL affiliate is victorious. Goaltender Arturs Silovs, 24, is the playoff MVP more than one year after manning the crease in Vancouver in last year's playoffs, when they lost in Game 7 to the Edmonton Oilers in the second round. Arshdeep Bains, 24, finished second in playoff scoring; 25-year-old Linus Karlsson finished first.
How many players on this championship team will graduate to the NHL? And could they boost Vancouver back into Cup contention?
