The Vancouver Canucks are getting creative this season.
After unveiling a new collaboration with Hello Kitty, the Canucks have linked up with another Japanese export. This time, they’re embracing anime.
“Celebrate the world of Naruto at Rogers Arena,” the Canucks announced via social media. “Plus, don’t miss your chance to score a special-edition headband with this exclusive ticket offer.”
The team is holding the first-ever “Canucks Naruto Night” on Jan. 5, when they take on Bo Horvat and the New York Islanders.

The announcement from fans was a mixture of surprise and excitement from Naruto lovers, and confusion from everyone out of touch with the series. There are also a number of fans wondering why the team hasn’t unveiled the rest of its theme-night schedule yet.
Written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto: Shippuden is a Japanese manga series that began in 2007.
Fans can score a “special-edition” Naruto: Shippuden headband when they buy tickets to the game. The headband is blue and features the Canucks orca logo on the front.
“Purchase while supplies last,” the team notes on the offer.
