We look a little different and sound a little different – because we are! We’re dedicated to experimentation, creativity, and distinctiveness. Part of our uniqueness comes from the fact that we are all students at BCIT. We are always learning and asking questions and invite you to come along for the ride.
Major label, indie label, or no label – if it’s good and it rocks – we’ll play it!
North Delta is hosting our door viewing parties for everyone who is cheering on the Canucks this postseason.
Now there isn’t much better than witnessing what Rogers Arena could look and sound like during a playoff game, but part of the enjoyment of being in the arena is being surrounded by the thousands of other Canucks fans.
See you tonight for our next Canucks Playoff Community Watch Party at Social Heart Plaza! Puck drop is at 7 pm.

Thanks to Social Heart Plaza for hosting, Canuck fans all over the Lower Mainland have the opportunity to go out and watch with tons of other fans just like them. And the best part? It’s completely free! Now don’t get me wrong, $15 to go watch the away games in Rogers Arena is a pretty cool time. But, something about bringing entire communities together to watch outside is such an awesome concept. Unfortunately, due to those pesky riots back in 2011, the Canucks were not able to host any outdoor viewing parties around the arena this year. The Mayor of Delta, George V. Harvie stated in a release that the city should at least do something of these sorts, since the last time the Canucks were in the playoffs we weren’t allowed to celebrate together.
“It’s been nine years since our community has had the opportunity to come together in-person and cheer on the Canucks in the playoffs” George V. Harvie, Mayor, City of Delta.
I think it’s safe to assume that the only events happening around the arena on game days are just the pre-game parties, as the Canucks have yet to release a “playoff plan”. Because of this, Vancouver is the only Canadian city that does not have a viewing party outside the arena, with the likes of Edmonton having the Ice Distract Plaza and Fan park, Winnipeg having Whiteout street parties outside the arena, and Toronto having Maple Leaf Square.
Just because there isn’t something right outside Rogers Arena doesn’t mean fans shouldn’t get together and watch the game as a group. Social Heart Plaza and the city of Delta invite you, your family, your friends, and anyone who just enjoys a good time. Bring a chair, a blanket, or whatever you need to make yourself comfortable and sit back to enjoy the atmosphere that many dedicated fans will be bringing to these parties.
