Daniel and Henrik Sedin spent their entire NHL career in Canucks colours, after being selected 2nd and 3rd overall in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft and making their North American debut the following year. Between the two of them, they hold Canucks records in eight categories including games played, points, goals, and assists.
Henrik Sedin, the older twin, played in 1,330 games in his career (franchise record) including 679 consecutive games over the course of a decade (from March 21, 2004 to January 18, 2014) placing him 11th in NHL history for consecutive games played. Henrik was one of the NHL's most exceptional playmakers during his career and holds the franchise record for assists (830), overtime assists (23), and career points (1,070).
In 2009.10, he had the most successful season of his career posting 29 goals, 83 assists, and 112 points in all 82 games, breaking the franchise record for most assists and points in one season. Those numbers resulted in him capturing the Art Ross Trophy, the first in Canucks history. That following year, Henrik was named Captain of the Canucks and wore the "C" until his retirement, with his brother, at the end of the 2017.18 season. He also played in three NHL All-Star games and was teammates with Daniel when Sweden won the Olympic gold in 2006.
Daniel Sedin became known for finding the back of the net, often from Henrik's assists. He holds the Canucks records for most career goals (393), power play goals (138), overtime goals (16), and game-winning goals (84). Daniel also ranks second in franchise history for games played (1,306) and points (1,041). Prior to the 2010.11 season, he was named an Assistant Captain and had his most productive season of his career, playing all 82 games and posting 104 points (41-63-104) to earn the Art Ross Trophy as the League's leading scorer. Daniel played in three NHL All-Star games in his career (two with Henrik in 2011 & 2012) and represented Sweden at three Olympic games, earning a gold medal in 2006 and a silver medal in 2014.
Both the Sedins have made Vancouver their home and have committed to giving back to the community through programs such as the Sedin Family Foundation Legacy Project. They also continue to contribute to the operations of the hockey club as Player Development staff, working closely with young players on and off the ice in Vancouver and Abbotsford.
Roberto Luongo was a first-round pick, fourth overall in the 1997 NHL Draft by the New York Islanders, marking the highest draft selection of a goaltender in NHL history at the time. After making his debut with the Islanders in 1999.00, Luongo was dealt to the Florida Panthers, where he would spend the next five seasons, before being traded to the Canucks. In his first season in Vancouver (2006.07), he collected the most wins of his career in a single season (47-22-6) with a save percentage of .921, earning his second career Vezina Trophy and Lester B. Pearson Award nominations in addition to a nomination for the Hart Trophy.
The Montreal, QC native suited up for eight seasons with the Canucks and holds team records for most wins (252 regular season, 32 playoffs) and shutouts (38). In the 2010.11 season, Luongo led the NHL in wins (38), while setting franchise records in goals-against average (2.11) and save-percentage (.928). He and Cory Schneider would together win the William Jennings Trophy for fewest goals against in the League, while leading the Canucks to their first ever Presidents' Trophy and third Stanley Cup Final appearance.
Luongo played a total of 19 seasons in the NHL and ranks 2nd in League history for most games played (1,044) and most saves (28,409) amongst goaltenders, trailing only Martin Brodeur in each category (1,266 and 28,928 respectively). He also participated in five NHL All-Star Games over the course of his career and represented Team Canada in three Olympic games, winning the gold medal in 2010 and 2014.
Luongo made a point of giving back to the community through his involvement with the Canucks for Kids Fund, including making regular appearances and supporting awareness initiatives at Canuck Place Children's Hospice in Vancouver.
