The Canucks are playing coy when it comes to rumors of free beer at the home opener against Anaheim Saturday.

They say many of the opening night and weekend initiatives have been announced, but there are some surprises in store for Saturday.

Ottawa will be offering their of-age fans a complementary cold one when the Senators take to the ice.

The BC Liquor Distribution Branch has reportedly said Rogers’s Arena is legally allowed to hand out free alcohol, and there are controls in place to make sure no minors get served.

Director of Team Operations and Media Relations Ben Brown says they're looking forward to finally dropping the puck.
