The Vancouver Canucks have reinforced their front‑office staff with two seasoned additions: Ryan Stewart, named director of hockey strategy and player evaluation, and Adam Sergerie, hired as a professional scout.
Bringing a championship pedigree
Stewart arrives after a lengthy tenure that included 16 seasons within the Chicago organization, where he served as assistant general manager and coached a Stanley Cup‑winning team. His career also spans senior advisory roles with the San Jose Sharks across North America and Europe, as well as stints as an ECHL forward and assistant GM for the Greenville Grrrowl.
Sergerie joins after leading scouting for the Penticton Vees of the WHL, a period highlighted by a B.C. Division title. His experience in player identification and evaluation is expected to deepen the Canucks' talent‑search capabilities.
General manager Ryan Johnson, who assumed leadership in May, framed the appointments as part of a comprehensive overhaul of the club’s development and scouting infrastructure. The moves are positioned to support the team’s ongoing rebuild, focusing on strengthening player pipelines and strategic evaluation.
Together, the new hires blend championship experience with Western Hockey League scouting acumen, signaling the Canucks' intent to accelerate player development and fortify the organization’s talent pipeline as it moves forward.
