The Anaheim Ducks will retire Teemu Selanne's No. 8 prior to their home
game against the Winnipeg Jets on Jan. 11, the team announced.
"Teemu is our franchise icon and deserves to be the first player in club
history to have his jersey retired," Ducks owners Henry and Susan
Samueli said in a statement. "His dedication to this franchise and our
community is unmatched. We eagerly anticipate Jan. 11, when we pay
tribute to a world-class player, ambassador and champion, our own Teemu
Selanne."
Selanne, a right winger, began his NHL career in 1992-93 by setting NHL
rookie records with 76 goals and 132 points with the original Jets (now
the Arizona Coyotes). But he spent the majority of his career in
Anaheim, where he had the other two 50-goal seasons of his career,
scoring 51 goals in 1996-97 and 52 in 1997-98. (Editing by Gene Cherry)
