Jason Priestley Flaunts New Vancouver Canucks Gear

Canadian actor Jason Priestley took to Instagram this week to show off his latest fan haul from the Vancouver Canucks. In a post captioned “Thank you @canucks for this great gear!! #canucksstore #canucks,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum proudly modeled his new jersey and other team merchandise, underscoring his enduring connection to his hometown hockey club.

Hometown Hero Shows His Colors

Priestley, who was born in North Vancouver in 1969, rose to international fame playing Brandon Walsh on the hit 1990s series Beverly Hills, 90210. Decades later, he remains a vocal supporter of his local teams—and he’s not shy about it. In the Instagram image, he’s wearing a crisp blue-and-green Canucks jersey with the team’s orca logo front and center. He holds a matching scarf and a commemorative puck, all of which were sent courtesy of the official Canucks store.

In his caption, Priestley tagged the team’s account and added two Canucks-related hashtags. Fans flooded the comments with their own photos in matching gear, cheering on the actor’s commitment to keeping Vancouver spirit alive even while he splits time between Canada and Los Angeles for acting and directing projects.

While he’s best known for his on-screen roles, Priestley has also directed episodes of several television series and produced independent films. Yet he always seems to find time for hockey season—often attending games when he’s back in British Columbia. The recent post appears to be his latest way to connect with fellow supporters online.

Family Ties On Full Display

Jason’s Instagram feed has long offered glimpses of family life, and earlier this spring he shared another nod to the Canucks. On May 28, he posted, “My daughter @ava.priestley taking her @canucks bag with her to graduation this morning! #canucks #canucksfan.” In the photo, 17-year-old Ava Priestley walked across the stage in her cap and gown, her Canucks-branded tote slung over one shoulder—proof that hockey fandom runs in the family.

That post marked a proud milestone: Ava’s high school graduation. Jason and wife Naomi Lowde celebrated their daughter’s achievement with heartfelt tributes, noting her hard work and character. The family then capped off the festivities with a Disney World trip, as another Instagram entry detailed, complete with fireworks and roller-coaster selfies.

Priestley’s dedication to his daughter’s accomplishments—and to his hometown team—paints a picture of a star who never forgets his roots. Whether he’s cheering at Rogers Arena or sharing merch unboxings online, his posts give fans a chance to see the man behind the characters they’ve watched for more than 30 years.

He’s also kept busy professionally. After Beverly Hills, 90210, Priestley appeared in series like Call Me Fitz and directed multiple episodes of Chicago PD and Blindspot. He’s set to appear at fan conventions this summer, including a stop at FACTS in Ghent, Belgium, where attendees can snag autographs and selfies.

Through all his projects—on-screen and off—he remains close to the community that shaped him. His recent Canucks thank-you is more than a simple shout-out; it’s a reminder that hometown pride can bridge Hollywood glitz and local loyalty.

From the Canadian hockey rink to the LA soundstage, Jason Priestley’s latest post proves one thing: no matter where life takes him, he’ll always be a Vancouver Canuck at heart. As the season heats up, fans can expect more sightings of their favorite 90210 alumnus decked out in blue and green.
