Vancouver Canucks seasons

The Vancouver Canucks were founded in 1945 as a member of the Pacific Coast Hockey League, winning the President's Cup in its first season, and another in 1948. In 1952, the PCHL was renamed the Western Hockey League, where the Canucks captured four more league titles in 1958, 1960, 1969 and 1970. In 1960, the President's Cup was renamed the Lester Patrick Cup to honour the late Lester Patrick.

After a failed attempt at joining the National Hockey League in 1967, the Canucks were finally granted the right to enter the NHL in 1970. The Canucks have not enjoyed the same success in the NHL, having thus far been unable to capture the Stanley Cup. The Canucks have captured two conference titles in 1981–82 and 1993–94. Vancouver has won five division titles in its NHL history.
