Here at Rogers, we’re passionate about sports – whether it’s tennis (Rogers Cup), baseball (Toronto Blue Jays) or broadcasting (Rogers Sportsnet), just to name a few.

We’ve got some exciting news to share with Vancouver sports and live entertainment fans. Effective today, the home of the Vancouver Canucks will become known as Rogers Arena. This ten-year strategic alliance also makes Rogers the official telecommunications sponsor of the Canucks.

What does this mean for Vancouver?

British Columbia is one of our most important markets, and this investment is just the beginning. We plan to work with the Canucks to explore innovative ways to engage fans anytime, any place. We’ll also join forces with the Canucks on local charitable initiatives.

Looking forward to seeing you at Rogers Arena when the puck drops this fall!

Congrats! go Canucks & go Rogers

you said: “We plan to work with the Canucks to explore innovative ways to engage fans anytime, any place” – that’s exciting news.

I have a suggestion (seriously!): how about letting iPad owners SHARE their existing Rogers iPhone data plans between devices! think of all the exciting interactive apps and content you could provide fans during the games, whether in or out of the arena

  That would be great if Rogers did something like this. Since they are now the home of the Canucks, why not allow Rogers clients to watch Canucks games on their smartphones! :)

Any idea what kind of promotions are going to be offered for Rogers customers in and out of the arena??
