DGA35 you are correct I never knew the team name was the Canucks in the WHL back then. Thanks ! I used to go to all the New Westminster Bruin games in the 70's that was great old time hockey to watch as a kid.

I did
Saw them play each other in Seattle as a kid.
Still have a few old Totem pucks...

I've mentioned it before, but it's a good bar betting little known fact.

Q: What American city was the first team to win the Stanley Cup?
A: In 1917, the Seattle Metropolitans became the first American team to win the Cup.


And funny enough in my original reply I called the Totems the Thunderbirds...
Gets a little, fuzzy remembering the late sixties and early seventies

Ahh, Queens Park Arena. My brother used to go to games back in the mid 70s when he lived in New West, going to school at SFU. Awesome teams back then with Stan Smyl and Barry Beck and coach Punch McLean. Great rivalries against Seattle and Portland Winterhawks.
