It’s time once again for the annual Canucks roster quiz, which tests your ability to remember of each and every guy that played at least one game for the Vancouver Canucks during the most recent regular season.
This year’s quiz, which features 35 names, isn’t as difficult as last year’s, which called for you to remember 39 players, several of whom were fourth liners and depth defencemen from the team’s mid-season injury rash. But it’s still difficult. The 2011-12 campaign wasn’t that long ago, but I suspect you’ll forget a few names, both because several of these players were forgettable and because Canuck fans are famously, staggeringly, and lovably short-sighted.
Anyway. Good luck.
Helpful hints: the roster is alphabetical. You only have to enter last names. One of the Canucks has a twin.
Be sure to post your results in the comments.

damnit… Victor…
Harrison Mooney
July 4, 2012True fact: 5 minutes after I made this quiz, I forgot Mancari.
Justin
July 4, 2012I managed 33/35, forgetting Mancari and Volpatti. To be fair, their contributions were on the forgettable side. Considering I’m 1600 miles away (Tucson, AZ) and rarely get to see games, that’s not too bad, right?
Miss

Zach Morris
July 4, 2012I got 31 in the first four minutes, and then spent the last six minutes trying to remember who has a last name between Hamhuis and Higgins
Zach Morris
July 4, 2012NOOO I forgot Honey Badger
Sean
July 4, 2012You missed Matt Climie
Harrison Mooney
July 4, 2012Nah, he never actually played. But I’ll slip him in as a secret answer, how’s that?
Thom
July 4, 2012Was Andrew Alberts really that forgettable? I guess so!
puckhead
July 4, 2012got ‘em all with 3m left. I almost forgot the forgotten son who was sent away to Buffalo (oops). Once i remembered him, the components of that trade filled the grid in nicely.
the quiz from the prior year was a lot tougher, I think I missed 3 or 4 out of that one
Mike
July 4, 201232
… missed Hansen, Pahlsson, & Sweatt .
pooroldbear
July 4, 201225/35, and now a bit mystified as to who the others could be. Forgot Oreswhatsit and Mancari; system wouldn’t recognize my variant entries on “that redheaded German fellow who went in the Hodson trade” (for Kassian! Of course!)
pooroldbear
July 4, 2012I know, I know… it’s Hodgson.
ajhockey
July 4, 2012I got like 23 or something without cheating. With cheating…27…
natevk
July 4, 2012OH YEAH! 35/35! Last one was Mancari, don’t tell TheStanchion…
Anyone else start typing old Canucks players when they can’t think of anybody?
Dave
July 4, 2012I was sure Jarko Ruutu was still on our team!
Abby
July 6, 2012Yes. Apparently I really miss Tanner Glass.
Donna Suico
July 4, 201234…finished 26 in the first 3 and a half minutes and the last 8 in the remaining 6 and a half.

Carson
July 4, 201234/35
- Mancari? Totally forgot.
Melaina
July 4, 2012I got 35 but barely … nearly forgot Samuelsson and Sturm!
Gloria
July 4, 2012I got 34. I would have gotten 35 but I couldn’t enter in the other Sedin, it wouldn’t accept it for some reason. So I guess if you counted that I got 35.
jordan savage
July 4, 2012all 35 with 59 seconds to spare….
Sheena
July 4, 2012Dang, forgot about Sturm. Sat here for 6 minutes trying to decide who could be between Sedin and Sulzer.
Lenny
July 4, 201234. I forgot Ebbett. Too small. Never saw him on the ice. Samuelsson and Sturm came back to me at the very end.
sarah
July 4, 2012It took me nearly a minute to spell Samuelsson correctly
iceman
July 4, 201231 out of 35 after a ‘teeny-tiny’ bit of cheating (totally forgot about Sulzer)… and still not sure about the four whom I missed. Could anyone fill in the blanks for me?

July 4, 2012Sweatt, Gragnani, Duco… oh, and Sami Pahlsson… whose name I had to try a bunch of times before I could spell it right.
iceman
July 5, 2012Thank you. Sweatt and Duco I totally missed but I should have had Granani and Pahlsson… Oh well, somehow I found Mancari from the bottom pit of my memory bank.
Jason
July 4, 2012Gragnani, Mancari, Sweatt… and, legitimately, Mason Raymond… went through line by line, and somehow missed Mayray. I’m guessing he fell down in my memory, as well.
Canucks fan 123
July 4, 2012I forgot Kassian but only because I kept writing kesler over and over again wondering why it wouldnt acccept him
Nee
July 4, 2012Got 33 in less than 3 minutes, but got stuck. After 4 and a half minutes I gave up. Forgot Duco and Kassian. : S
aaron
July 4, 201233. Sulzer yes. Duco, Bitz no…
Kyle
July 4, 201233. Missed Pahlsson and Sweatt.
Kate
July 4, 2012How could I forget Bitz!? …and Sweatt.
nas19ua
July 4, 201233/35, forgotten Mancari and Oreo
Katherine
July 4, 2012Forgot just three!
Bitz, Oreo and Sulzer
Of those I’m only ashamed of forgetting about Bitz, the other two are very forgettable.
Carmina2000
July 4, 201232. Missed Pahlsson, Weise and Sweatt… Wasn’t Lack called up when Luongo got hurt?
Jason
July 6, 2012He never played a game though.
slaw
July 4, 2012I got 34/35. I can’t believe I remembered Sturm, Sweatt,and Oreskovich, but forgot Jannik Hansen. I kept saying, I’m missing someone from the third line! I also almost forgot Salo, which shows that Canucks fans short term memory
Josh
July 4, 2012I forgot Duco, Pahlsson, Oreskovich, Mancari……. and Ballard. ouch.
matt
July 4, 201234 in 2.5 minutes, 7.5 minutes to sit there dumbfounded only to see billy sweatt at the end… Sigh

Chris
July 5, 201233/35 I totally forgot Duco, saw Bitz in my head but couldn’t remember his name.
Winsy
July 5, 2012I missed Mancari only.. that’s tough when you get timed!
Winsy
July 5, 2012What about Lack and Climie?? They got called up to back Schneids when Luongo had the groin injury around Christmas… They didn’t make the list.
I started with the goalies then went down the lines… then resorted to “1-Lu, 2-Hamhuis, 3-Bieksa,” etc.
I want to do last years’ now….
Anonymous
July 5, 201232 – mancari, sweatt, hansen. I am ashamed.
Same as puckhead, as I was twiddling my thumbs trying to think I suddenly remembered Hodgson and the other trade components came in quickly
RE: Winsy’s proposal Oh boy, I’d love to see how terrible I am at last years one right now. We had so many dang call ups that year I remember being stumped for quite a few.
Anonymous
July 5, 2012Tags: if you forget luongo you’re terrible
HA! Very true.
Lize
July 5, 201233 haha forgot raymond and ebbett
tom selleck's moustache
July 5, 201231. I would never have gotten Mancari, Sweatt, and Duco in a million years. Samuelsson, I just thought he was traded before he ever got on the ice.
Tom Taylor
July 5, 2012Damn, 29/35
Ones i shoulda got:
Bitz, Ballard, Sulzer, Volpati
Ones i was never gonna:
Sturm, Sweatt.
Dang it!
Matt
July 5, 201233
Missed Mancari and Duco D:
Fuzzysheep
July 5, 2012Got everyone but Sulzer and Volpatti, couldn’t for the life of me remember Pahlsson’s name and then when I did, had to frantically guess 4 different spellings and got it just before the time ran out.
Sean
July 5, 201230/35 in about 3.5 minutes for me. I should have remembered Pahlsson…
Ray Levy
July 5, 2012Argh, 31/35.
Got everyone except for Bitz, Duco, Gragnani and Sulzer. I should have got Sulzer and Gragnani because of Hodgson-Kassian trade (even though I remembered them). Duco wasn’t too memorable, but Bitz had a great run so I’m surprised I couldn’t think of him.
maqywhaq
July 5, 201230/35… I forgot these guys:
Sweatt, Duco, Orekovich, Mancari, Sulzer… Technically, I forgot Sturm, but that was more due to misspelling than actually not remembering him…
James W.
July 5, 2012Is having Schneider sandwiched between the Sedins, despite the fact that this is supposed to be alphabetical, a subtle nod to his ’3rd Sedin’ appearance?
Harrison Mooney
July 5, 2012… sure. Definitely not an error.
cmmk
July 5, 2012dam pahlsson and sweatt
dalajit
July 5, 201234/35 Missed Sulzer
Brosef Stalin
July 5, 2012I forgot Pahlsson, Duco…
…and Salo :’(
PLEASE DON’T HURT ME
Lenny
July 5, 2012I kept typing ‘Lulongo’ and it didn’t work!
Mike H.
July 5, 201233/35. Couldn’t remember who had all the fighting majors this year… Weise! Also forgot Bitz.
Kate
July 5, 201228/35, I forgot Sulzer, Gragnani Bitz, Oreo, Sweatt, Mancari and of course Weise.
DeepSteez
July 5, 201233 – Darn Pahlsson and Oreskovich
Amani
July 5, 201232, I forgot Malhotra, Gragnani and Raymond as well, that’s pretty sad. Honestly I’m just happy I spelled the names right.
Beantown Canuck
July 5, 2012STURM!
kshanks
July 5, 2012Damn i missed Duco and Sturm Sturm doesnt count because he was awful
pinner
July 5, 201230… 31 with help on Gragnani
Couldn’t get Sulzer, Samuelsson (really? he was still on the team to start the year?? Right… he went with Sturm), Mancari, and Pahlsson (apparently he really was forgettable). Also had to look up Gragnani’s name – I could picture him and his non-potential-filling play, but must have been confusing his name with Mancari – kept typing in variations on Margradi.
Sorta surprised I came up with Bitz, Volpatti, Oreskovitch et al – gotta say thanks to the fabulous nick-name providing here at PITB, otherwise those guys’ names would’ve never stuck in my skull.
Also took me about 8 minutes to come up with Higgins, d’oh!
Anitha
July 5, 2012Mancari, Raymond, Sewatt and Duco! Oo
Pretty good…
Anitha
July 5, 201225 names in 1:30 minutes. Then my memory started to fade away…
Kenji
July 5, 201233. Missed Sulzer and Weiss. I have to admit a lot of that was guessing, I have no actual memory of Billy Sweatt playing, I was just adding all the names I could think of. I thought for sure that Yann Sauve had a game here and there but I suppose not.
cathylu
July 5, 201226…I’m a little embarrassed. I did have Pahlsson but I couldn’t spell his name right (Paulsson??) which is bad since I’m part Swedish.
JA
July 5, 201235! At 11 seconds left. Last few minutes tortured over (shockingly) Kassian and (shamefully) Malhotra. I’m a callup nerd, so got Victor etc. pretty quickly. Maybe my brain makes lists backwards.
Sean
July 5, 201224/35.
I had trouble with spelling. I never got Hamhuis despite multiple tries (and I was sure I tried the correct spelling first). I spelled Samuelsson wrong & and then assumed I was remembering wrong when he got traded). I started “cheating” to look up spelling for people like Pahlsson & then I gave up with 4 minutes left, because it seemed unfair to keep doing that.
I blanked on Kassian’s name (knew it began with a K) & also tried to describe him instead.
The people I flat out missed or forgot: Bitz, Duco, Ebbett, Edler (ouch), Mancari, Sturm, Sweatt, Volpatti.
BLAH BLAH BLAH
July 5, 2012i no this
cant spell their names or remember under pressure
ES13
July 5, 2012Ah nuts… I was doing so good! got 33/35, but missed Duco and Ebbett… Eh, to be fair I don’t really feel all that bad about forgetting Duco… but Ebbett… I kinda like him.
Fun Quiz.
Collin
July 5, 201234/35 with 1min to go, but could’t remember that german defender we traded with Coho… don’t know how I forgot about Alca-Sultzer.
cwhite
July 5, 201234 – missed mancari
By-Tor
July 5, 2012Welp, I forgot Raymond and Higgins (and Sulzer)
Some Canucks fanatic I am.
Tom_F
July 5, 201227… forgot about the Samuelsson and Sturm trade (even though I got Booth). I spelled Sweatt wrong and gave up figuring he didn’t play this year. The only name I’m mad I missed was Hansen’s…. I should have had that one.
rvtBC
July 5, 2012Spelling counts? Damn.
BBoone
July 5, 2012There were two Sedins and no Murray Hall ?
Rats
Dave Robinson (@dcrwrites)
July 5, 2012Forgot Billy Sweatt – got all the rest, though Pahlsson took a bit
Brentals
July 5, 201233/35, missed Mancari (knew he was there, forgot what his last name was) and Duco. I just gave up with 3 mins left as I couldn’t figure those 2 out.
BedBeats
July 5, 2012Great fun. One thing is for certain, Canuck roster names can be hard to spell. Have i really been spelling Juice’s name incorrectly for this long? Stupid me…forgetting Albie. 24/35. That should make me at least a Chicago Wolves stick boy.
Sam
July 5, 201226 got all the good players. Mike Gillis has no idea how to build a CUP contending team look at the LA Kings. No one saw that bunch of over rated bums winning the Stanley Cup. Most of the players I missed were forgettable and just went for energetic skates. I bet Red Light Luongo stays and screws the Canucks in cap space. It’s always next year with these bums.
Barry
July 5, 2012WHO CARES? IT’S ONLY THR KIDS GAME OF HOOOOOKEY
R.SEN
July 5, 201232
Forgot about Bitz, Mancari and Pahlsson. I could have sworn Pinizzotto played at some point though.
Smug Nation
July 5, 2012A shameful 34… Damn you for being so forgettable, Pahlsson! Oh well, at least I managed to tie Don Cherry. He got 34 before slamming his computer on the ground and screaming, “Don’t tell me there was no Bieska! I saw that good Ontario boy with my own eyes!
Raj
July 5, 2012im embarrased, missed Rome, Kassian, Bitz, and Duco.
Fruzenius
July 5, 2012Gahh, forgot Duco and Volpatti. Remembered Sweatt…gahhhhh
Ashley
July 5, 2012yes! 35/35 with 7:50 remaining! It only took me…7 tries. Forgot Booth a couple times. I am embarrassed.
Abby
July 6, 2012Ah, I forgot Raymond and Hansen a couple times myself. I’m determined to get it though. Three tries and counting.
fragglewhiterock
July 5, 2012did I win? who won? i think i won.
Rituro
July 5, 201231/35. Forgot Kassian, Oreskovich, Pahlsson and Volpatti. Can’t believe I drew blanks on the two big trade deadline pickups… gah.
JanBanan
July 5, 201233/35- Sturm and Pahlsson. To be fair, once you have Malhotra there is no need for another defensive centre.
Peggy
July 5, 20127:54 remaining!
JS Topher
July 6, 20123:59 Got all of them. I did have to look on CDC to remember how to spell oreskovich. However, I waited until he was last guy before doing that.
Stinkpickle
July 6, 201234/35. Sorry Sweatty
Shauni Burrows
July 7, 20128:36 seconds… 35/35 proud fan over here
Shauni Burrows
July 7, 2012no wait i got a new time to beat! 8:53
Shauni Burrows
July 7, 2012record is 9:06 35/35 can anyone beat it?
Canuck2379
July 7, 201224/35…not bad for my first full season following the Canucks. Remembered Pinizzotto but the quiz didn’t seem to like how I was entering the name..and I have to confess to I looked up the roster and the other posts on PitB to check his spelling so really I only got 19/35! Will try and improve next year!!
canuck2379
July 7, 2012Got all of them on the second try…with some help from other posts. First try I got 20/35 without cheating..not bad for my first season watching the Canucks.
WES
July 7, 2012Yes , 35/35, when are we getting Shea Weber….
db
July 8, 201231 – missed duco, ebbett, mancari, and sweatt
Alan
July 9, 2012Still don’t remember Duco…
katrina
July 15, 201235/35 and the only reason why was because a friend and I had this “name as many Canucks as you can” competition back in May…we were trying to figure out who the truest fan was…I won and as a result got the beer paid for all night. I would of finished faster had I known the spelling…and I kept trying to enter Climie, Lack, Pinizzotto (the guys on the team that didn’t play) I also royally blanked with CoHo…
