On Thursday April 6th, the Canucks Centre for BC Hockey and the Vancouver Canucks Mascot, Fin, visited the Strathcona Community Centre to promote the Program in British Columbia for the 2005-06 NHL season. The Vancouver Canucks, in conjunction with the NHL, once again donated equipment to encourage hockey participation in low-income areas where equipment could not otherwise be afforded.

The Canucks Centre for BC Hockey and Fin were joined by the children and participants in the street hockey program from the Strathcona community centre, along with organizer Ron Suzuki. Kids from the Strathcona community centre area played in a pick-up street hockey game with Fin and representatives from the Canucks Centre for BC Hockey. This was followed by an equipment presentation on behalf of the Vancouver Canucks and the program.
