Sedin twins' jerseys headed to the rafters next season

Two more numbers will be headed to the rafters in Rogers Arena next season.

Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin will see their No. 33 and No. 22 jerseys retire as part of the Canucks’ 50th anniversary season celebrations.

Owner Francesco Acquilini confirmed the long-expected news during an interview with Sportsnet 650 today.

Their numbers will join Pavel Bure’s No. 10, Stan Smyl’s No. 12, Trevor Linden’s No. 16 and Markus Naslund’s No. 19 in the rafters.

Acquilini said it’ll be part of a week-long celebration of Daniel and Henrik, with details revealed prior to the season to Canucks fans can plan to be there.

#Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini joined #TheStartingLineup @JamesCybulski @psolkowski @DhaliwalSports earlier today to share his thoughts on the state of the team, the process of a rebuild and how he evaluates the work being done by the GM/Coach.https://t.co/zDKY4lVs3E

Henrik is the highest-scoring player in franchise history, leading the club in assists, games, power play points and plus/minus as well.

Daniel is naturally right behind his brother, second in all-time points for the Canucks, and leads the franchise in goals, power play goals, game-winners and shots.

Through just three games this year, the Canucks have already looked quite different without the iconic Swedish twins on the team for the first time in nearly two decades.

It’ll certainly be fun for Canucks fans to celebrate to careers of two elite and memorable players during the team’s 50th anniversary season.
