gold star for USAHOF

Ryan Getzlaf

Ryan Getzlaf

Getzlaf was a First Round Pick in 2003, and he would debut for the team two years later with a 39-Point rookie year.  A member of the 2007 Ducks team that won the Stanley Cup, Getzlaf's play blossomed the season after, where he began four years of 50-plus Assist seasons, and he would hit that threshold four additional times.  

A Second-Team All-Star in 2014, the Center finished second for the Hart Trophy that year and was tenth in Frank J. Selke voting.  Getzlaf also received Selke votes in seven other seasons.

Getzlaf is already the all-time Ducks leader in Assists (737) and post-season Points (120); in his final year in the NHL, 2021-22, he overtook Teemu Selanne in Points (1,019).   He is also a decorated performer in International competitions, helping Canada win two Olympic Gold Medals (2010 & 2014) and Gold in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
