Vancouver Canucks to Host Ring of Honour Night

VANCOUVER, B.C. - The Vancouver Canucks will induct Alex Burrows into the Ring of Honour prior to their December 3rd game against the Ottawa Senators. One of the most storied players in club history, affectionately known as "Burr," will take his place next to Canucks' legends Orland Kurtenbach, Kirk McLean, Thomas Gradin, Harold Snepsts, Mattias Ohlund and Pat Quinn.

Burrows was a fan favourite for his impassioned play and for scoring some of the biggest goals in franchise history, including the game 7 "Slay the Dragon" series-winner over Chicago in 2011. Undrafted, Burrows worked through the ranks of the ECHL and AHL before signing as a free agent with Vancouver on November 8, 2005. Playing on a storied line with the Sedins for much of his career, Burrows would go on to play 913 NHL games over the course of 13 seasons with the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators, accumulating 409 points (205-204-409).

Here are the top five things fans need to know ahead of Tuesday's game, presented by Panago:
