Just a few months ago, the Vancouver Canucks sent the jersey numbers of Daniel and Henrik Sedin to the rafters, and now the Sedins’ legacy will continue to live on through the introduction of a new player award.
The Canucks announced the Daniel and Henrik Sedin Award on Wednesday, which will go to the player “who best exemplifies outstanding community leadership qualities and humanitarian contributions to his community.”

Over the course of their 17-year career in Vancouver, the Sedins developed deep ties with the city and gave back in a big way. It’s no surprise that the team is continuing to pay homage to two franchise icons with an award in their honour.
The Sedins' legacy keeps growing. Well-deserved honour! https://t.co/q9BERktIC5
