Ducks to Retire Getzlaf's Number 15

The Ducks will retire the No. 15 jersey of Ryan Getzlaf on Saturday, Jan. 30 against the Nashville Predators. The preceding home game (Jan. 28 vs. Chicago) will feature a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the 2007 Stanley Cup Champions as part of “Legacy Nights” at Honda Center this season. 

“Ryan Getzlaf’s impact on the Ducks will be felt for generations to come,” said Ducks Owners Henry and Susan Samueli. “While no player in club history played more games or scored more points, it’s his leadership, championship DNA and community contributions we will remember most. He’s a legacy player who rightfully will have his jersey hung alongside Teemu Selanne, Paul Kariya and Scott Niedermayer at Honda Center.”

Getzlaf retired from hockey in 2022 as one of three players in hockey history to win a Stanley Cup (2007) and five international gold medals (2010 and 2014 Olympic Winter Games, 2016 World Cup of Hockey, 2005 World Junior Championship and 2003 U-18 World Championship). 

“My family and I are so grateful to the Samuelis and the Ducks organization for this incredible honor,” said Getzlaf. “None of this would be possible without all the amazing teammates, coaches and support staff I had in my career. I thank them all and can’t wait to celebrate in front of our great fans in January.”

Getzlaf helped the Ducks to the 2007 Stanley Cup as the leading scorer during the championship run (7-10=17) and was the longest-serving captain in Anaheim history (12 seasons, 2010-present). He appeared in a franchise-record 1,150 career NHL games with the Ducks, scoring 282-731=1,013 points with a +105 rating and 954 penalty minutes (PIM). On Oct. 31, 2021, Getzlaf earned a primary assist, surpassing Teemu Selanne to become Anaheim’s all-time leading scorer (279-710=989).

Getzlaf became the 92nd player in NHL history to record 1,000 points (280-720=1,000) on Nov. 16, 2021 vs. Washington. He was the 39th player (seventh active) all-time to record his first 1,000 points all with the same club and the 45th player in NHL history to record 1,000 points with a single franchise. Getzlaf is Anaheim’s all-time leading scorer in both the regular season and playoffs. A three-time NHL All-Star (2008, 2009, 2015), Getzlaf retired in the top 100 on the NHL’s all-time points (88th) and assists (51st) lists and was one of 56 players in NHL history to record 700 assists.

Selected by Anaheim in the first round (19th overall) of the 2003 NHL Draft, Getzlaf also leads Anaheim in all-time assists, even-strength points (664), overtime goals (11) and power-play assists (255). He is second among franchise leaders in power-play points (341), plus/minus (+102) and PIM (960), is third in game-winning goals (57) and fourth in goals. Getzlaf also scored 37-83=120 points with a +12 rating and 137 PIM in 125 career Stanley Cup Playoff games, leading the club in all-time playoff scoring, goals and assists. He led the 2007 Stanley Cup team in postseason scoring with 7-10=17 points and also set a Ducks record for most points in a single playoff season in 2015 (2-18=20).
