As the proud Official Logistics Partner of Canucks Sports & Entertainment, we provided the U11 Seawolves Development Team from the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association in Canada with an unforgettable VIP hockey experience on March 15, 2025.

In partnership with Canucks Sports & Entertainment, the Seawolves traveled to Vancouver to watch the Canucks take on the Chicago Blackhawks at Rogers Arena. 

The young athletes enjoyed exclusive access to watching the Canucks morning practice skate before the game, an unforgettable chalk talk and meet-and-greet with former Canucks legend Darcy Rota, and a VIP suite experience featuring customized gear and swag. The team and their parents were also able to take part in DP World’s arena concourse activation where fans were invited to guess the number of pucks inside a DP World container.
