Unfortunately this week in history was a little slow for the Canucks, so I figured I’d give a little throwback history on the Canucks name. The team is named after Johnny Canuck, a lumberjack figure representing Canada. The team originally used the name and logo when they were a part of the Pacific Coast Hockey League, but stopped using it in 1970 when they moved to the NHL.
