In a moment that sent shockwaves of excitement through Canucks Nation, head coach Adam Foote made a major announcement this morning that left fans buzzing with joy and pride. During a press conference at Rogers Arena, Foote officially named right wing Brock Boeser “Nurse” the new captain of the Vancouver Canucks.

After months of speculation following the departure of the previous captain, this decision brings both stability and inspiration to the locker room. Boeser, affectionately nicknamed “Nurse” by teammates for his calm demeanor and ability to heal team morale during tough times, has long been seen as a heart-and-soul player for the franchise.

“This is more than just about leadership on the ice. Brock represents the values we believe in—resilience, humility, and heart,” said Foote. “He’s earned this, and there’s no one better to lead this group into the future.”

The announcement was met with thunderous applause from staff, players, and media in attendance—and social media quickly lit up with fan reactions, most of which echoed the same sentiment: “This is the best news we could hope for.”

Boeser, visibly emotional, expressed deep gratitude:

“I’ve grown up with this team. It’s an honor to wear the ‘C’ and lead a group of guys I respect so much. I’m ready to take this next step, not just for us, but for the fans and the city of Vancouver.”

With the new leadership era now officially underway, the Canucks look forward to building momentum for the upcoming season, with Boeser at the helm—both on the ice and in the hearts of fans.
