The Hamilton Canucks were a short-lived American Hockey League farm club of the Vancouver Canucks that lasted two seasons from 1992 to 1994. In addition to Canucks’ prospects, the team included long-time NHL vets Rick Vaive and Mario Marois skating out their final professional seasons. The club was done in by the combination of an unfavorable lease at Hamilton’s Copps Coliseum and ownership turbulence and moved to Syracuse under new ownership in 1994.
