Thank you so much @VIAwesome!!!@myra_mc we gonna have a blast!!#ThankYouSedins
Henrik and Daniel Sedin are in their 17th season with the Vancouver Canucks and received a standing ovation from fans at Tuesday night's home game against the Golden Knights. The twins announced that this would be their last NHL season in a letter posted to the team's website on Monday.
The game ended with a 5-4 shootout loss for the Canucks but the Sedins have two more games to play. Their last home game will be against the Phoenix Coyotes and their final game is in Edmonton on Saturday against the Oilers.
Our team at Vancouver Is Awesome held a contest on Tuesday asking people to write in and thank the players for all they've done for Vancouver for a chance to win tickets.
Paying it forward in spirit of the #thankyousedins: we're giving away these 2 tix to tonight's #Canucks game!
