 Tuckman negotiated a three-year lease with the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver, British Columbia, to play 24 home games each year in the 4,500-seat Agrodome in 2006.That same year, Vancouver was awarded the 2010 Winter Olympics and the Dragons' lease was deferred until the conclusion of the games due to the high demand for indoor sports facilities leading up to the Olympics.In a 2006 interview with the "Vancouver Sun" newspaper, Tuckman said that one of the hurdles to playing in Vancouver was that most international players had single-entrance visas, which meant that if they left the United States to play a game in Canada, they could not return to the U.S.
