Orca Bay Sports & Entertainment
 PROFILE
Orca Bay Sports & Entertainment provides Vancouver hockey fans a whale of a time. The company owns the Vancouver Canucks professional hockey franchise and its home arena, General Motors Place. Under the leadership of head coach Marc Crawford, the team has been improving its record and reached the NHL playoffs following the 2000-01 season. The team was started in 1947 by local sportsman Coley Hall as a charter member of the Coast League and joined the NHL in 1970. It was acquired by Arthur Griffiths four years later and controlled through the publicly traded Northwest Sports Enterprises. Seattle billionaire John Elroy McCaw Jr. bought control of the team in 1995 and acquired the rest through Orca Bay in 2000.
