Ryan Getzlaf has one last game before he takes his sweater off for the last time, and it will be a special one, ending an awesome era. Story by jillpainter SportsCentralLA
He's a true ambassador for hockey and one that will be missed. Someone who did things the right way. He dazzled with his playmaking skills and did it all with a humble attitude, not surprising for someone who grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada. He was steady and consistent, playing in 1,155 games. His leadership is why he was the captain for 12 years. As he went, so did his teammates.
What you see with Getzlaf is what you get. He's generous with his time with media, teammates and the community in Orange County. ANAHEIM, CA - SEPTEMBER 16: The Ducks' Ryan Getzlaf takes a photo with fan Ana Nunez at the Ducks' Team Store before their preseason game with the Phoenix Coyotes at Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. Several players who weren't playing were working in the concessions and greeting fans before the game.Getzlaf shies away from attention, and that's certainly one of the reasons you didn't see a final season retirement tour around the NHL, even if it's well deserved.
He's given so much time to everyone, especially children, and his annual golf tournament that benefits Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research. He'll continue to be impactful in childrens' lives.
