Abbotsford Canucks move within a win of Calder Cup title

FRASER VALLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUN 20 – The Abbotsford Canucks can clinch their first American Hockey League Calder Cup title with a win in Game 5 after a strong playoff run led by key players and goaltender Arturs Silovs.

  • On Thursday, June 19, 2025, the Abbotsford Canucks defeated the Charlotte Checkers 3-2 at the Abbotsford Centre to take a 3-1 lead in the Calder Cup Final series.
  • The Canucks' strong position follows a best-of-seven series featuring two overtime games early and Charlotte losing three straight after winning eight consecutive before the Final.
  • Jonathan Lekkerimaki scored twice in Game 4, including the game-winning goal, while goalie Arturs Silovs made 32 saves during Abbotsford's first trip to the Calder Cup Final.
  • Game 5 is scheduled for Saturday, June 21, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET in Abbotsford with tickets sold out and resale prices exceeding $338 for non-obstructed views.
  • The Abbotsford Canucks stand one win away from claiming the first AHL title in the Vancouver organization's 55-year history, facing pressure to close the series at home or return to Charlotte for potential Games 6 and 7.
