Miller, Elias Pettersson, Thatcher Demko, and Brock Boeser. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n<p>Those were the players on banners outside of Rogers Arena and on promotional material.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a Canucks ticket ad from last summer:<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"canucks 2025 game packs\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-2296359 size-full\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/canucks-2025-game-packs.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2296359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Quinn Hughes was the headliner one year ago. (@Canucks\/X)<\/p>\n<p>But now? It\u2019s a lot less straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>Hughes and Miller are gone, of course, and the shine is off the other stars.<\/p>\n<p>Pettersson led the Canucks in scoring last season, but he\u2019s no longer the fan favourite he used to be. The past two years have been rough for Boeser and Demko, too.<\/p>\n<p>The Canucks have been pushing \u201cgame packs\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/canucks-schedule-late-starts-first-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">since the schedule dropped earlier this month<\/a>. It\u2019s a separate process from season-ticket renewals, as existing members will select their seats before new game-pack buyers.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"canucks 2026 game packs\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1911\" height=\"2560\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2296365\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/canucks-2026-game-packs-scaled.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2296365\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new poster boys. (Vancouver Canucks)<\/p>\n<p>The above image is the most commonly used marketing material we have spotted. Boeser is front-and-centre, flanked by Pettersson and Filip Hronek. The other two players in the picture are Linus Karlsson and Drew O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting that Jake DeBrusk is nowhere to be found, given that he led all Canucks in goals last season. His name has been mentioned in <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/senators-trade-interest-canucks-debrusk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">numerous trade rumours<\/a> since the season ended, so that\u2019s understandable.<\/p>\n<p>Hronek, Pettersson, and Boeser also led the way <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Canucks\/status\/2077803147201069525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">when the Canucks schedule was revealed<\/a>, but with Vancouver\u2019s most promising young players: Liam \u00d6hgren, Zeev Buium, and Tom Willander.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been quite some time since the Canucks have had to season a full-scale rebuild. The Canucks traded popular players like Trevor Linden and Kirk McLean in 1998, while Pavel Bure held out for a trade. Without star players that fans were genuinely excited about, \u201cnew grit\u201d was the team\u2019s slogan heading into the 1998-99 season.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"canucks new grit slogan\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2447\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2297620\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/canucks-new-grit-slogan.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2297620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cNew grit\u201d was the slogan for the 1998-99 season. (mike.pit\/Ebay)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be interesting to see what Canucks marketing material looks like two years from now. We could see Buium lead the way by that time. Maybe Caleb Malhotra and Braeden Cootes will have arrived by then as well.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, we may be witnessing this generation\u2019s version of \u201cnew grit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It wasn\u2019t long ago that picking Vancouver Canucks poster boys was a simple task.
