All in all, 9 out of 10 Canuck fans were great. Chatted with many who know their window is closing, gave honest opinions on whoever wins the series is in deep next round, etc. Security came down and threatened to kick us out for swearing... A couple of Canuck fans vouched for us as there was no such thing going on.
Was also chatting to a guy and 3 women after about how the city hasn't really got the buzz going yet and they agreed saying it takes at least the second round (same thing our cabbie said earlier). As I was talking to them, some meat head with his kid steps in saying his job is to protect the city and how dare I say that. He was certainly looking for a fight and security stepped in before anything happened.
All in all, I never didn't feel safe and from my experience, no different than the dome crowd.

Great time everyone and thank you Flyguy for putting this together.

[woob]

Nice, Travis. I hope there's more flights in the future!

[Enoch Root]

Great job by JumpOn - the whole experience was great (other than the result)

Would just like to add that our experiences with Nuck fans throughout the day and evening were very pleasant.

But the guy sitting beside me would literally start to vibrate up and down when the Sedins had the puck. He would start to giggle and say "ooh, look at that, look at them go!" On one shift, they passed it back and forth a couple times and eventually lose possession in the corner and he says to his girlfriend "ooh, that was just so awesome!"

I said they never got a shot on net - not even close. He replied "that doesn't matter"

I said yeah, it kind of does!

Did not expect to win two in a row in there barn, but we won one, and took back home ice advantage. I think the boys are gonna be pure adrenalin when they get back in front of the C of red on Sunday.

GFG!

[Envitro]

In the section where we were sitting there were plenty of douchy fans making rude and stupid comments very loudly regarding the fact that we were wearing Flames jerseys, but nobody was belligerent or aggressive. Overall the experience was pretty good for an away playoff game. 9/10 would do it again!

It's sad to hear about the few people that were blatant idiot Nucks fans picking fights, but we all know that there are good fans and bad seeds in every city. In Van-city, that proportion seems to be a bit higher and their fans are pretty band-wagony.

One thing we did notice is that they love their Eddie Lack for no good reason. They will chant his name when he's not even making any saves. It made us conclude that Vancouver needs a personality to get behind, rather than an entire team. Explains the whole "Loooooou" thing, but it's stupid if you ask me.

ha! if it comes to this, you know Jump On's got your back! Very different than the big airlines.

SO great to hear the feedback & passing onto team @ Jump On. Super stoked for Game 3 and next fan flight. Stay tuned, thanks for support and sharing Jump On in social media which is vital to make more low cost & fun hockey & theme flights etc... Shoot over some ideas anytime #NeverQuit

[Papi34]

An entire row of canucks fans got kicked out after relentlessly harrassing an 18 yr old flames fan calling him justin Bieber, One direction and throwing change and popcorn at him, waving towels in the kids face. Understandably the kid got pretty frustrated and upset which caused some scuffles that ended with me and many other canucks fans breaking it up. But outside of that row the fans were great, vouched for us and the kid and told security to kick those guys out. One canucks fan was completely ready to kick the crap out of his fellow fans for their activity. Overall great time, hope we beat Vancouver and can do something like this again in anaheim !

[Envitro]

I also just wanted to thank JumpOn for giving us this great opportunity to go and cheer and support our team in Vancouver!

There were other flight options but this was by far the best deal and it was perfectly suited and custom made for this kind of experience!

Thanks again!!!

How did you end up sitting in the CBC press box?

[DionTheDman]

Saw this pop up on another board. NSFW'ed for blood.

NSFW!

[Incinerator]

By far the best experience I've had at their rink. In the past we were always harassed to no end win or lose. This time everyone from security to VPD to their fans were extremely friendly. Even got asked for pictures with some of them at the end.

Would love to come on the JumpOn of it stayed overnight next time, looks like it was a riot (the good kind) Haha.

Sitting at YVR waiting to come home now, see you guys at game 3's C of Reddddddd! Wooooooo!

Too bad, but Westjet is around $160 more right now. Still looks like a good deal.

I can't go to game 5 this week, but probably game 7 (hopefully not necessary)

[Resolute 14]

Good deal relative to WJ or AC, but I can't see this one taking off. In part because of higher cost, but also because it basically requires two days off work.

[Travis Munroe]

Agreed - if it was the same price I would be all over it and I really dont see this one taking off.
Maybe if it spent the night in Van and left late morning and a group buy discount on a hotel was involved I could justify it but to spend $400 and then $200 on tickets and the $200 which is easily spent on food and drinks while down there, I am approaching a week all inclusive pricing.

It would be awesome if it took off and others got to experience the awesome time that it was however I would be willing to bet they barely reach 40 buys.
