PENTICTON (NEWS1130) – The Vancouver Canucks have cleared forward Cody Hodgson for full contact. Hodgson will join the main group tomorrow after skating with Group C and taking part in light contact/finesse drills over the weekend.
The 20-year-old has been attempting to come back from his recent back injury.
