The NHL is a young mans game, you hear it every time a panel comes together on television or you plug into your favourite hockey podcast. The game is full of young talent that are making a huge difference no matter what colour jersey they wear. The Vancouver Canucks have had a jolt of youth over the past few seasons and this year seems to be the time where we are seeing big jumps in some of those young guys’ game.
There have been 13 different players at the age of 25 or under who have played a game for the Canucks so far this season, that number should grow as the season rolls on and we get even more of a youth boost from the Utica Comets.
