The month of September can only mean one thing: hockey is back. While the Vancouver Canucks don't play their home opener until October, September is arguably the official start of the hockey season. Here is a look at some key dates to watch out for as the Canucks prepare for the 2025-26 season. SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 The first significant date on the calendar is September 8, 2025, when Vancouver hosts their annual Jake Milford Charity Golf Invitational [https://community.canucks.com/jake-milford-golf-tournament/]. While the event is not open to the public, it has been used as an opportunity for the media to speak with the players about their summer and upcoming season. The event is also a chance to raise money for charity, with "more than $558,000" being raised last year. SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 Instead of Young Stars, the Canucks will be travelling to Washington State and playing the Seattle Kraken [http://thn.com/seattle] in a prospect game. While the original announcement mentioned two games, only one has been publicly scheduled, which will take place on September 13 in Everett, Washington [https://chl.ca/whl-silvertips/article/angel-of-the-winds-arena-to-host-nhl-prospects-game-with-seattle-kraken-vancouver-canucks/].
