The Vancouver Canucks will hold their annual training camp in Penticton’s South Okanagan Events Centre from Sept. 17 to 20, with multiple on-ice sessions and fan events.
The Story
The Vancouver Canucks will return to Penticton for their annual training camp, bringing the team to local ice at the South Okanagan Events Centre for a four-day run that runs Thursday, Sept. 17 through Sunday, Sept. 20.
According to event details, the venue will be taken over by the Canucks for the duration of the camp, creating several scheduled opportunities for fans in the South Okanagan to watch practice sessions and other on-ice activity.
On-ice practices are slated for three days: Thursday, Sept. 17; Friday, Sept. 18; and Sunday, Sept. 20. Admission for these on-ice practices is priced at $10.
A major highlight of the schedule is “Super Saturday” on Saturday, Sept. 19, which is billed as the headlining day of the camp. The day includes a pre-game skate, an on-ice practice and a 30-minute Blue vs. White scrimmage.
“Super Saturday” is also set to feature a question-and-answer session with some members of the Canucks leadership after the scrimmage, with admission priced at $20 for that day’s events.
For fans planning to attend across the full slate of activities, the event offers an all-access option: access to all four days is available for $30.
Beyond the rink, the camp schedule includes a daily street-style gathering called “Party on the Plaza,” which runs every morning to early afternoon throughout the four-day event. The plaza programming is designed to give fans an additional way to be part of the team’s visit without needing rink access for every session.
The “Party on the Plaza” events include special guests such as mascot Fin and Canucks alumni, adding to the broader fan-focused program during the same Sept. 17 to 20 window.
For Vancouver-area and other Canadian readers watching the Canucks’ seasonal lead-up, the Penticton stop reflects how the team uses the training-camp period to engage communities well beyond the Lower Mainland, while also offering a compact schedule of on-ice viewing and direct interaction for local hockey supporters.
As the camp approaches, the most practical detail for attendees is matching the planned sessions to ticket type—$10 for on-ice practices on Sept. 17, 18 and 20, $20 for Super Saturday on Sept. 19, or $30 for access to all four days—alongside the recurring plaza events each day during the same stretch.
