/ Uncategorized / By

The Abbotsford Canucks 2026-27 regular season schedule has been released and it features a number of familiar foes and one brand-new one.

The debuting Hamilton Hammers visit Abbotsford for the first time ever for games on Dec. 15 and 16, with the Canucks heading to Hamilton’s TD Coliseum on Feb. 4 and 6.

The Hammers were formerly known as the Bridgeport Islanders and made the move earlier this year. The club is the AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders.

The Canucks square off with the Calgary Wranglers 12 times, as they are again the team’s most frequent opponent. The Canucks also play eight games against the Bakersfield Condors, Colorado Eagles, Henderson Silver Knights, San Jose Barracuda and Tucson Roadrunners. They square off four times against the Coachella Valley Firebirds, Hamilton, Manitoba Moose, Ontario Reign and San Diego Gulls.

Rogers Forum will host games on 13 Saturday’s this season, which is the most common day. Other game days include: Friday – eight, Tuesday – five, Wednesday – five, Sunday – four and Monday (Family Day) – one.

The Canucks have three six-game home stands (Dec. 5 to 16, Jan. 2 to 13 and Feb. 13 to 24) and two six-game road trips (March 13 to 23 and March 31 to April 10). Abbotsford is mostly on the road for March and April, with just six home games over that time period. The team’s final home game is set for March 27.

As reported earlier, the Canucks open the season in Calgary on Friday, Oct. 2 and the team’s home opener sees them host the Firebirds on Saturday, Oct. 17.

“We are excited to begin a new season in Abbotsford and welcome back our amazing fans to Rogers Forum,” stated Abbotsford Canucks general manager Richard Seeley. “The passion and support from this community make the Fraser Valley a special place to play, and I am personally looking forward to my first year with the organization and the opportunity to create memorable moments together.”

The AHL regular season begins on Oct. 2, which is the earliest that the league has started since 2009. Abbotsford’s visit to Calgary on Oct. 2 will be the final home opener for the Wranglers at the Saddledome, as they move to a new building in 2027.

The AHL all-star classic is set for Cleveland and is scheduled for Feb. 7 and 8.

All 32 teams will be in action on Saturday, Nov. 7 – 90 years to the day after the first games in league history were played on Nov. 7, 1936. Representing the two cities with the longest AHL histories, the Hershey Bears and Springfield Thunderbirds will meet in Springfield, Mass., that evening. Abbotsford will host Ontario that day.
