Ducks to retire Ryan Getzlaf's No. 15 in January ceremony

Sep 01 (Field Level Media) - The Anaheim Ducks will ​honor former forward Ryan Getzlaf when the franchise retires his No. 15 in a Jan. ‌30 ceremony.

Getzlaf played all 17 of his NHL seasons in a Ducks ⁠uniform, scoring 282 goals ​with 737 assists over ⁠1,157 regular-season games. The three-time All-Star retired after ‌the 2021-22 season when ‌he scored three goals with 34 assists in ⁠56 games.

The Regina, Saskatchewan, ⁠native helped Anaheim win its only Stanley Cup title in 2007 when he scored 25 goals with 33 assists in the 2006-07 regular season and added seven goals with 10 assists in 21 ‌playoff games.

"Ryan Getzlaf's impact on the ​Ducks will be felt for generations to come," Ducks owners Henry and Susan Samueli said in a news release. "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."

The Ducks already have retired the numbers of three players, Selanne's No. 8, Kariya's No. 9 and ‌Niedermayer's No. 27.

Anaheim is ​also set to celebrate the ‌20th anniversary of ⁠its 2007 ​title two days before Getzlaf's ceremony on Jan. 28.
