Big news is coming out of the Canadian National Pickleball League (CNPL) as the Vancouver Rush announce an exciting new chapter in their franchise history. The team is officially rebranding as the Vancouver Owls, ushering in a fresh identity and a powerful new partnership that promises to shake up the league.
Owl Pickleball Soars Into Ownership
This transformation comes with the arrival of Owl Pickleball—one of the sport’s most innovative paddle brands—as the new majority owner. Owl Pickleball joins forces with the existing Vancouver Rush ownership group, which includes Showpass, Lemmon Entertainment, and the Forsythe family. This dynamic partnership brings together a shared vision for excellence, growth, and community engagement in the Vancouver pickleball scene.
Why the Owl?
The owl is a symbol of wisdom, focus, and quiet strength—qualities that perfectly align with the team’s new direction. As a paddle brand, Owl Pickleball is known for its cutting-edge technology and commitment to elevating the game. Now, as the Vancouver Owls, the team is ready to bring that same level of innovation and intensity to the CNPL court.
And let’s not forget: while owls may be known for their quiet flight, the Vancouver Owls are coming to quiet the competition—with precision, power, and a whole new look.
