The Canucks franchise has the longest tenure of any in the AJHL in one city, as the 2005-06 season represented its 35th in the Stampede City. The Canucks were born as the brainchild of a group led by Doug Eastcott who were concerned about the demands made on young boys who were forced to leave home to play seasons of up to 80 games in other cities and towns at a time when education often took a back seat to hockey. The Canucks entered the AJHL with the stated goal of giving Calgary area kids a place to play competitive hockey without sacrificing their education. The team considered itself an extension of the Calgary minor hockey system, and even set a personal cap of three "imports" (non Calgary area players) per season. While the import cap has long since been dropped, the Canucks remain true to their ideal of "Education through Hockey" and being a place for Calgary area kids to play to this day. However, extremely competitive scouting throughout the league, and the addition of two more teams in the Metro Calgary region - the Calgary Royals and Okotoks Oilers - have created an uncertain future on the ice. The Canucks qualified for the playoffs 34 consecutive seasons, a streak finally broken in 2006-07, and with 11 regular season titles, nine AJHL championships, two Doyle Cup titles, and one Centennial Cup national championship, the Canucks are perhaps the most successful team in league history. The team has seen 42 former Canucks reach the NHL, including current NHL allstar and beauty Dany Heatley and two time Stanley Cup winner Mike Vernon. Hundreds more have earned scholarships to American and Canadian universities.
