it== Recreating article == Why is the fake Johnny Canuck WHL logo featured on this article? The logo originated with a Victoria program around 1970 along with other caricatures of WHL team logos. Why isnt the logo the Canucks actually wore on their sweaters and used in print shown? Now I know that the main Vancouver Canucks article has more information on it, I am trying to expand this article once again to be a better source for the pre-NHL Canucks.

Didn't realize the two teams teams were two separate franchises each with the same name. I thought it was the same team with some of the info spread across Wikipedia. That was my fault for not looking deeper into the problem. --Youtoobitout (talk) 20:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The WHL team was not a totally separate franchise and it should not be treated as an entirely separate entity. The ownership group contained the same key figures and the team itself was comprised of many of the same players. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistereliminator (talk • contribs) 22:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The WHL logo needs to be cleared up.

The logo shown on the main page was NOT introduced in 1961 and it was rarely used. It was only used briefly during the Canucks last season on a few programs. The original Johnny Canuck logo was introduced sometime around 1954 and was used concurrently with a second version until 1970.

this is the original canucks logo: http://www.gasolinealleyantiques.com/sports/hockey/images/newwestern/canucks-doublechunk1.JPG

the second version can be seen on this page: http://www.logoserver.com/WHL5274.html

I would like to upload cleaner versions but I don't know how to get past wikipedia's photo censors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistereliminator (talk • contribs) 06:12, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to inform you that Art Chapman was the coach of the Canucks for 1953-54. Source: They Call Me Gump by Lorne "Gump" Worsley with Tim MoriartyCorey Bryant (talk) 20:30, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible merge

Why is this even a separate article, if this team is the predecessor of the current NHL team? I think this page should be merged into the main one. Mizzou1993 (talk) 21:15, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from them being two different teams, even if they share the same name, its long been policy to have spate articles for various incarnations of teams, as it allows for more complete information regarding the relevant team to be added, instead of condensing in the name of being a meaningful length on pages. And it would really not serve any benefit to merge, its not like there is a finite amount of space being taken up. Kaiser matias (talk) 14:02, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
