#16 in the program, a captain at heart
Thanks for the memories, Trevor Linden. I’d love to say “one more year” but it was pretty clear at the end of that game that he’d be calling it quits. An NHL without Linden seems absolutely foreign to me, given he came into the league the year I started following hockey. I was too young to understand it when the Steamer retired, or why he was revered enough to have his number raised to the rafters. Linden is the Smyl of my generation of Canucks fans. He was my first hero growing up.
His play for the Canucks has made him one of the most beloved figures in the city. His work with Canuck Place shows what an awesome human being he is. In the end, that’s what we should all strive to be.

I’m going to miss him so much.
