Canucks fan? Your favourite team is just a click away
By: calendar iconFebruary 7th, 2011 a 2:04pm

Last year, we proudly announced that the home of the Vancouver Canucks would be known as the Rogers Arena and we promised we’d be looking at innovative ways to engage fans anytime, any place through our technology.

Here’s the latest:

Free Canucks App powered by Rogers

You can get your fill of Canucks action by downloading the Free Canucks App powered by Rogers. Dustin, one of our Data Guyz, recently appeared on Vancouver’s Breakfast Television to discuss the app and take a look at some of the cool features including video interviews with Canucks players and coaches and behind the scenes video from practices.  You can check out the segment below.

The app is available on iPhone through iTunes, on BlackBerry devices through BlackBerry app world and on Android smartphones soon.  To get started, go to www.canucks.com/mobile or Rogers customers can text ‘CANUCKS’ to 5555 on your phone.

New interactive fan experiences at Rogers Arena

If you’re able to make it to a game at the Rogers Arena, make sure you check out “Forever Canucks powered by Rogers,” an interactive exhibit that displays 40 years of Canucks memories on five interactive touch screens. The exhibit also features a 10 foot high historical display and case containing Canucks historical artifacts from the last 40 years.  It is located in Section 121 and is one of two new interactive fan exhibits launched at Rogers Arena this season. The “Hall of Heroes powered by Rogers” display was unveiled in December.

To take a look at the display in action, watch this clip from Vancouver’s Breakfast Television:

Rogers customers who download the free Canucks App will be able to enjoy exclusive content from both interactive exhibits on their mobile devices.

Are you a Canucks fan? Have you tried the app yet?

    I haven’t tried the Canucks app since it’s STILL not available on the Torch 9800. There was word that it was going to be available in February, but no hints about it yet.

    Hi Miranda.

    Yep, downloaded the app ass soon as this article appeared in my BlackBerry News Feeds for my Torch. It’s a nice app for Canucks fans, with some nice Rogers exclusive videos, but the app itself is not properly formatted for the Torch. If you scroll down on the main menu of the app, there is a white space at the bottom that shows more menu choices, only when you scroll over them. Also some alignment issues at the top title bar showing the next game. So the app still needs work. Also, kinda funny that it says it’s optimized for the BlackBerry OS6, when the app itself isn’t formatted correctly for the device.

      Appreciate the feedback! Thanks for flagging the formatting issues with the Torch. I’ll pass this info onto to the team.

    You didn’t look very hard Bekki: I’m using a 9800 and was able to download the free version, and find the paid Live version.
    Here are the links since you can’t find it:
    Paid live version: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/21869

    Free version (OTA):
    http://mobile.vancouver-canucks.com/blackberry/blackberry_3_ways.html

      The free version still doesn’t have the 9800 listed in their supported devices. And so it doesn’t show up using the Appworld on the blackberry itself. The paid version has been in appworld for awhile.

        The free does work, just has formatting issues. Just because it’s not on their list of supported devices, doesn’t mean you can’t do a OTA. It just needs to be formatted correctly, but the app works – I’m using it on my Torch. :)

    Where is the Android App? Boo
    Go Canucks! Boo Rogers

    • RogersMiranda says: February 8th, 2011 a 12:24pm

      We’re working on an Android optimized version of the app and we’ll let you know once its up and running.

      (Did you see the Canucks game last night? They won 4-2! Woot!)

    Hope the android version will be made so all android devices (eg the nexus one) can use it, and not like the RODM app
