The Vancouver Canucks made a big commitment to telling their own stories last year.
Adding three reporters, the Canucks <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks-hire-two-reporters-kate-pettersen-lindsey-horsting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hired Kate Pettersen and Lindsey Horsting in June</a> and <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/chris-faber-leaves-canucks-army" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Faber in October</a>. But it appears just two of the three remain with the club.
After spending the season as a fixture on all Canucks media platforms as their rinkside reporter, Pettersen hasn&#8217;t featured in any club content since the team was eliminated in the Stanley Cup Playoffs back in May.
Unlike last offseason, she didn&#8217;t do any reporting for the team at the draft, free agency, or development camp.
The <a href="https://x.com/CanucksReporter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@CanucksReporter</a> account on X has been locked and scrubbed. The <a href="https://x.com/canucksinsider" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@CanucksInsider</a> account includes Faber and Horsting&#8217;s names but no longer Pettersen&#8217;s.
Daily Hive has asked both Pettersen and the Canucks for an explanation but has yet to receive a response.
Are the Canucks planning to hire somebody new to replace Pettersen, or perhaps go without a team reporter as they did in years prior? The organization trumpeted its commitment to &#8220;best-in-class storytelling&#8221; just last year, and training camp is only five weeks away.
If they are going to hire someone new for the position, they must be keeping it on the down-low. <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks-hiring-jobs-some-cool" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Canucks have a big list of posted jobs on their website right now,</a> but rinkside reporter isn&#8217;t one of them.

Vancouver

The Vancouver Canucks hired three reporters last season, but one of them appears to no longer be with the organization.
