In a shocking turn of events, the Vancouver Canucks have found themselves on the receiving end of a hefty fine from the NHL. The league has slapped them with a $50,000 Canadian penalty for their involvement in on-ice sessions held in Vancouver after the season came to a close in mid-April.

These clandestine gatherings took place between April 17th and 23rd, capturing the attention of hockey enthusiasts and league officials alike. A small group of players, consisting of six individuals, had the privilege of honing their skills under the guidance of none other than the legendary Sedin twins. The fortunate duo of Dakota Joshua and Jack Studnicka were the fortunate recipients of this unique opportunity.

The timing of this unexpected sanction has certainly raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike. The Vancouver Canucks now find themselves facing a considerable financial setback of $50,000. It's worth noting that due to the unfavorable exchange rate, this penalty translates to approximately $37,109 in US currency, further amplifying the blow for the team.

It remains to be seen how this incident will affect the Canucks moving forward. Undoubtedly, there will be conversations and discussions surrounding the appropriateness of such sessions after the official conclusion of the season. As the team deals with the repercussions of this costly fine, questions arise about the integrity of their actions and the potential impact on their reputation within the league.
