The Vancouver Canucks are bringing back the black skate jerseys for one night.

The Canucks will wear the classic uniforms when they face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Feb. 13.

The retro look will be part of a season-long celebration of Rogers Arena's 20th anniversary. The building first opened as General Motors Place in 1995.

“Rogers Arena has provided 20 years of fun and extraordinary moments and we’re excited to celebrate its rich history with Canucks fans this upcoming season,” Canucks Sports and Entertainment COO Victor de Bonis said.

"It continues to serve as the premier sports and entertainment venue in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest. We are proud to have hosted more than 27 million guests since opening our doors in 1995, and we look forward to creating more unforgettable experiences for our fans for years to come."

The Canucks wore the skate logo from 1985 to 1997.

The facility was renamed Rogers Arena in 2010 when General Motors ended its naming rights relationship with the franchise and Rogers Communications signed a new deal.
