Canucks in talks with Simon Fraser University to build practice facility on Burnaby campus
https://canucksarmy.com/news/canucks-sim...aby-campus
That's from seven months ago. At the same time, SFU still hasn't hired a new AD, and they have a huge budget deficit right now. They recently laid off all of the sports information people. https://www.sfu.ca/dashboard/faculty-sta...d-fin.html

Despite the huge budget issues, I think it's possible they do eventually get a team.

"As the club continues to look for a location to house its practice facility, CanucksArmy has learned that Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini has met at least twice with Simon Fraser University president Joy Johnson about the potential for SFU to house the Canucks’ practice facility. CanucksArmy also confirmed with multiple sources that Aquilini attended the SFU Hockey Club fundraiser that took place earlier this year."

"Individuals close to the situation have indicated that some of the SFU Athletic Department’s biggest donors are heavily in favour of bringing a Division 1 NCAA hockey program to the school. The school would need a place for their team to play, meaning the construction of a state-of-the-art facility on SFU’s Burnaby campus is something that both the Canucks and SFU would potentially benefit from."

Edit: Maybe not...

"There have been talks between Canucks ownership and Simon Fraser University in the past — there are people on campus who have varsity hockey ambitions and Canucks chairman Francesco Aquilini is a proud SFU alum — but the Burnaby Mountain campus is remote from the airport and a long way from where the players live. The Doug Mitchell centre has a number of spaces they lease out, such as the dressing rooms and workout areas that St. George’s School’s prep hockey program uses."
