Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB. Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players and executive. As such it is news to us that yesterday the Vancouver Canucks have announced that they will be installing Alex Burrows into their Ring of Honour next season.
This announcement comes at the same time that the team announced that the Sedin Twins will have their numbers retired. The Canucks have a secondary accolade where they don’t retire numbers but place their name permanently in the arena.
Burrows would play at Left Wing from 2005-06 to 2016-17 for 822 Games where he was one of the better defensive forwards in the Game. The native of Quebec received Frank J. Selke Award votes six season in a row and he would score 384 Points as a Canuck.
Burrows joins Orland Kurtenback, Kirk McLean, Thomas Gradin, Harold Snepts, Pay Quinn and Mattias Ohlund in the Vancouver Canucks Ring of Honour.
