The Vancouver Canucks are bringing back a familiar September fixture, with the 42nd annual Jake Milford Canucks Charity Invitational set for Monday, September 14 at Northview Golf and Country Club in Surrey, B.C.
The event, presented by KPMG, is tied to the Canucks For Kids Fund and the Vancouver Canucks Alumni Foundation, and fans will have a few different ways to get involved. Raffles, auction bidding and the Canucks For Kids Fund online 50/50 are all part of the fundraising push.
The Jake Milford tournament has long been one of the Canucks’ key charity events, and last year’s edition brought in more than $676,000. That money went toward helping children and families across British Columbia.
This year’s tournament comes with an extra layer of meaning as the Canucks for Kids Fund marks its 40th anniversary. The organization says the milestone reflects four decades of community support made possible by donors, partners and fans.
One of the headline raffle items this year is the 2026 Jake Milford online raffle, sponsored by Britton Diamonds. The prize is an 18K White Gold Diamond pendant and necklace valued at $14,300.
Tickets are available now at canucks.com/milfordraffle, with sales closing at 5:00pm PT on Monday, September 14. A Canucks For Kids Fund representative will reach out to winners within two business days after the draw.
Raffle pricing is set at 10 tickets for $100 or 3 tickets for $50.
The online auction is also live and runs until Monday, September 14 at 5:30pm at canucksjakemilford.com. Among the items up for grabs are Every Kids Dream Experience, two tickets to watch a Canucks game from the Alumni Suite, Chef's Tasting for Two at Elisa, and two tickets to Olivia Rodrigo on December 2.
The Canucks For Kids Fund online 50/50 raffle begins on September 14 at 9:00am and continues through Canucks training camp in Penticton and both preseason games. It will close on September 22 at the end of the second intermission during the preseason game against the Calgary Flames, with proceeds going toward wildfire relief in B.C.
Fans can buy 50/50 tickets at vancouvercanucks5050.com, with an estimated jackpot of $100,000. Ticket packages include 500 tickets for $100, 225 for $50, 100 for $25 and 5 for $10.
The winner will receive half of the final jackpot, and the winning number will be posted online shortly after the draw once sales close.
Online ticket sales are limited to fans located within British Columbia at the time of purchase, and players must be 19 or older. Know your limit, play within it.
The Canucks For Kids Fund says it supports charities focused on children’s health and wellness, education, social impact programming and grassroots hockey across British Columbia. Over the last 40 years, the fund says it has granted more than $115 million to charities in the province.

Jake DeBrusk Just Addressed The Canucks Rumors Head On
Jake DeBrusk is trying to put a clean line through the latest round of speculation, saying he has not asked the Canucks for a trade and remains committed to helping Vancouver move forward. The winger, who joined the club as a free agent after its 2024 playoff run, addressed the rumors directly while also acknowledging how difficult last season was for the group.
DeBrusks message was as much about perspective as it was about denial. He said he still sees a place for himself in the teams rebuild and pointed to the support from Vancouver fans as a reason to keep pushing, even as his name has circulated in trade talk. For a club looking to steady itself after a turbulent year, having one of its forwards publicly lean into the project matters, even if the market chatter around him has not gone away. [Read more 🡒]
Canucks Fans Now Face Another Costly Hurdle Just To Watch
Watching the Canucks just got more expensive again, with Rogers raising the price of its Sportsnet+ packages ahead of the 2026-27 NHL season. Both the Standard and Premium plans are going up by $20 per year starting in September, adding another layer of cost for fans who have already had to navigate the leagues shifting broadcast landscape.
The bigger issue for Vancouver followers is what comes with that price change. Sportsnet says Monday Night Hockey will be exclusive to Sportsnet+, which means cable TV subscribers will need to tack on an extra $12.99 per month to get those games, and nine Canucks matchups will sit behind that paywall. A handful of Wednesday games will also be on Prime Video, leaving fans to sort through yet another subscription just to keep up with the team. [Read more 🡒]
Tyler Seguins Recovery Leaves One Big Question For Stars Fans
Jake DeBrusk put any speculation to rest this week by making it clear he has not asked out of Vancouver and remains focused on helping the Canucks win. With a contract that runs through 2031 and a no-move clause set to kick in for the 2026-27 season, his status is less about immediate uncertainty and more about the long runway the club has with him.
While Vancouver looks to fill out its roster by staying active on the early-season waiver wire instead of chasing veteran free agents, another former playoff foe is dealing with its own lingering storyline. Dallas forward Tyler Seguin has returned to skating after an ACL injury, but he stopped short of confirming whether he will be ready for the season opener, leaving Stars fans with one more item to monitor as camp unfolds.
