In a monumental development that has sent shockwaves through the hockey world, the Aquilini family — principal owners of the Vancouver Canucks — has officially announced that franchise legend Henrik Sedin will return to the organization in 2025, this time in a new and powerful role: Co-Owner.
Henrik Sedin, revered as one of the greatest Canucks of all time, carved out an extraordinary NHL career as a dynamic playmaker, elite two-way center, and respected leader. His return as co-owner marks a historic chapter not only for the Canucks but for the NHL, where former star players stepping into ownership roles remain a rarity.
“This is a full-circle moment,” said team representative Francesco Aquilini in a joint press conference earlier today. “Henrik has always been part of the Canucks family. Today, we take that bond to a whole new level.”
Henrik, often seen as the cerebral engine behind the Sedin twins’ legendary on-ice chemistry, expressed deep gratitude and excitement: “Vancouver has always been home. I’m thrilled to take on this new challenge, helping guide the future of this organization from a new perspective.”
