- Vancouver is a diverse, cosmopolitan place, the very model of a sophisticated North American city. Except, that is, for one very primal indulgence, its passion for hockey. Specifically, for the hometown Canucks of the National Hockey League and the people of Vancouver dont hesitate to shed their sophisticated airs to profess their allegiance. Vancouver is home to perhaps the most dedicated and passionate fans in hockey. Forever Faithful is a feature-length documentary film that examines and chronicles the fervor of these fans.
Although much of the modern game was honed here, the crown jewel of the sport, the Stanley Cup, has lived in Vancouver just once, in 1915, when it was captured by the Vancouver Millionaires. The Canucks have never one the Cup. Theyve come close twice, losing the finals in 1982 and 1994. But, the ardor of the fans is not based on the success of the team; rather its hardwired into the DNA of British Columbians.
