He's been involved with the organization since Seattle billionaire John McCaw became majority owner of the Canucks and NBA Grizzlies in 1994.''Our focus on the financial viability of the hockey club, as well as our commitment to the community, to sponsors, partners and fans, has been fundamental to getting us where are today,'' McCaw said.''Our priority now will be to recruit a leader who shares our values, and one with strong ties to the local community, to lead us into the future.''Francesco Aquilini, who purchased 50 per cent of the Canucks last November, will oversee the business until a successor is named.''We fully expect to have another successful season, and to continue to improve our business and on-ice performance in the future,'' Aquilini said.</blockquote>
