Family lawsuit involving Aquilini ownership casts a shadow over the Vancouver Canucks ahead of the NHL season
The Vancouver Canucks face off-ice distractions as Matteo Aquilini, the grandson of Luigi and Elisa Aquilini. They allege he was disinherited from the family trust in retaliation for raising sexual assault claims, and the lawsuit names Canucks chairman Francesco Aquilini and his uncle Roberto. And, accusing them of conspiracy and breach of trust. The dispute could overshadow team preparations for the 2025–26 NHL season.
