Karlos Tse (’27)
One could say that 2024 was Vancouver’s year. Our home Canucks made the Playoffs for the first time since 2015, and though we suffered a close defeat to the Oilers, our team has revealed talent unlike any other year. Vancouver also finished the race as Taylor Swift’s final stop on her Era’s Tour, making Vancouver an outstanding city in December. With another year here, what’s Vancouver got for us in 2025?
