The Anaheim Ducks retired Teemu Selanne’s #8 prior to Sunday night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets, the team that Selanne started his career with (although the pre-Coyotes Jets, not the post-Thrashers Jets). The Ducks gave Selanne a touching ceremony before raising his number to the rafters, and you can check it out below:

But the tributes didn’t end there. Both teams also took the ice for warmups wearing all different kinds of Teemu jerseys from stages throughout his career.

Hell, even the concessions at the Honda Center honored Teemu.

It was a great night for a guy who deserved every bit of the appreciation.
