In a post on social media on Sunday afternoon, TSN and BarDown shared that it was the 25th anniversary of Henrik and Daniel Sedin signing their first-ever professional contract with the Vancouver Canucks.
The Sedin twins were drafted second and third overall by the Vancouver Canucks back in 1999 and went on to spend 17 seasons with the organization until their retirement following the 2017-18 campaign.
Both Henrik and Daniel Sedin had their numbers 33 and 22 retired by the Vancouver Canucks in February 2020 and two years later, they were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, alongside their longtime teammate, Roberto Luongo.
