Two of the greatest players to wear Vancouver Canucks jerseys, Daniel and Henrik Sedin, have announced their retirement after 18 seasons.
Hence, they posted a letter to the public, stating that their 18 years in Vancouver were the best of their lives.
An era in Vancouver Canucks hockey has officially come to an end.
"You've all been with us every step of the way, and we want to thank you". Their names have been linked throughout their National Hockey League career, and it's only fitting that they retire together.
The two have been linked in the National Hockey League from the start of their careers - Daniel having been drafted second overall in 1999 and Henrik one pick later.

ICICI Bank stock slumps 7%; mcap drops Rs 11353 cr
The current share price indicate that stock is -7.21% away from its one year high and is moving 21.00% ahead of its 52-week low. Although Gupta's complaint was recorded two years ago, the ICICI board gave a clean chit to Chanda Kochhar on Thursday.
Unfortunately for the Sedins, however, they might be most remembered for their ill-fated turn in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. Vancouver then hosts the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday before wrapping up their season and the Sedins' NHL careers Saturday in Edmonton against the Oilers. Despite holding 2-0 and 3-2 advantages in the series, the Canucks eventually lost in Game 7 to the Boston Bruins.
The Canucks have three games left on their schedule, beginning with Tuesday's visit by the Vegas Golden Knights. He also won the Hart Trophy as league MVP that year. They're likely entering into a full-on rebuild, which might have played a role in the Sedins' decision to retire despite still being able to play the game at a competitive level.
"It's time to let the next generation of young players lead the Canucks", the letter said. "That won't change. In the meantime, we still have some games to play, and we still have some work to do". We also want to share these games with our families, friends, teammates, coaches, trainers, staff and everyone at the Canucks who have supported us.
As tough as it will be for the Sedins to say goodbye to the game and to fans, it will likely be just as hard for the fans to say goodbye to the Sedins.
