Vancouver, BC — May 26, 2025
In a moment that Canucks fans will remember for years, legendary brothers Henrik and Daniel Sedin stunned the hockey world with a surprise announcement live at Rogers Arena: the Hall of Famers and former Canucks captains are officially returning to the franchise—this time as co-owners.
The announcement came on the heels of a dramatic IIHF World Championship win, where several former Canucks players helped lead Team USA to gold. The buzz was already high in Vancouver, but when the Sedins took the stage, excitement erupted into pure disbelief.
“It’s about time,” Henrik said with a grin, his arm around Daniel. “This city gave us everything. Now, it’s our turn to give something even bigger back.”
Daniel added, “We’ve been watching closely, and we know what this team is capable of. We’re not just here to own—we’re here to elevate.”
The Sedin twins, who spent their entire NHL careers with the Canucks and redefined what it means to be franchise players, revealed that they’ve partnered with a private ownership group to acquire a minority stake in the team. While they won’t be the majority owners, the Sedins will have an active role in strategic decisions—both on and off the ice.
According to insiders, their involvement will focus on developing homegrown talent, improving player culture, and enhancing the Canucks’ connection to the community.
In their joint statement, the brothers emphasized their mission: “We want to build a championship culture rooted in patience, pride, and passion. That starts by investing in young talent the right way.”
Current GM Patrik Allvin praised the move. “Henrik and Daniel understand this team—and this city—better than anyone. Their return marks a new era for the Canucks.”
The announcement brought fans to their feet, many chanting, “Sedins! Sedins!” in a throwback to the glory days.
With the IIHF win adding momentum and the Sedins now taking ownership roles, Vancouver is buzzing with optimism. As Henrik said before stepping off the stage: “We’ve worn the jersey. We’ve bled for it. Now we’re building it.”
The future of the Vancouver Canucks just got a lot more legendary.
