There have been 15 Canucks players who have served as the captain. The franchise's first captain was Orland Kurtenbach, who captained the team until his retirement in 1974.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=13245|title=Orland Kurtenbach|publisher=[[Hockey Hall of Fame]]|access-date=February 22, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071205150539/http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=13245|archive-date=December 5, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> The longest-tenured Canucks captains have been Stan Smyl and Henrik Sedin, who each served as captain for eight seasons; each were also the only captains to have spent their entire NHL career with the Canucks.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/s/smylst01.html|title=Stan Smyl Statistics|work=Hockey-Reference.com|publisher=Sports Reference LLC|access-date=February 22, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/s/sedinhe01.html|title=Henrik Sedin Statistics|work=Hockey-Reference.com|publisher=Sports Reference LLC|access-date=January 23, 2011}}</ref> Swedish winger Markus Naslund, who captained for seven seasons, was the first non-Canadian to have captained the Canucks.

Though goaltenders are not permitted to act as captains during games, Roberto Luongo served as the captain from 2008 to 2010, but because of the NHL rule against goaltender captains, the league did not allow Luongo to serve as on-ice captain.<ref name="official">{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26282|title=Rule 6 – Captain and Alternate Captains|publisher=National Hockey League|access-date=February 23, 2009}}</ref><ref name="Luongo">{{Cite news|title=Canucks name goaltender Luongo as team captain|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=251272|publisher=[[The Sports Network]]|date=September 30, 2008|access-date=February 23, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202181026/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=251272|archive-date=December 2, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> In his place, the three alternate captains were responsible for dealing with [[Official (ice hockey)|officials]] during games.
