An extended search filled with twists and turns concluded on Thursday when the Vancouver Canucks announced that club legends Henrik and Daniel Sedin will serve as co-presidents and lead the next era of the team’s hockey operations.
Working underneath the twins, Canucks assistant general manager Ryan Johnson has been promoted to general manager.
Henrik and Daniel, 45, are first ballot Hall of Fame players and the most storied and celebrated players in Canucks history. The brothers rank No. 1 and No. 2 on the franchise leaderboard in both games played and points. Henrik is Vancouver’s all-time assist leader, and Daniel is the all-time goals leader.
The twins have been working with the club in various capacities since the spring of 2021; they have spent most of the Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin era serving the organization as development coaches. Though the brothers originally hail from the hockey hotbed of Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, they’ve remained in Vancouver after their playing careers.
