The Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants are back at the Ladner Leisure Centre when they open their 2021 main training camp on Thursday.
Presented by Chevrolet, the five-day camp runs through Labour Day Weekend and culminates with the annual Quinn/Howe Legends Game on Monday at 9 a.m.
Cash donations will be accepted at the door with all proceeds to the CKNW Kids’ Fund.
The Giants will also be playing two pre-season games at the LLC, with the Kelowna Rockets visiting on Sept. 15 and Kamloops Blazers in town a week later, Sept. 22. Both games start at 7 p.m.
They will open the WHL regular season Oct. 2 in Victoria and will entertain Prince George in their home opener on Oct. 8 at the Langley Events Centre.
Below is the entire training camp schedule with the players divided into Team Lucic and Team Gallagher for their skill sessions and scrimmages, honouring the two former standouts.
