He says this his middle name is “One More,” and Teemu Selanne is proving that by making his return to the Anaheim Ducks, for just one more year.
Teemu Selanne is best known for being one of the highest goal scorers in NHL history. When he needed arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this past June, it was unknown whether or not he’d return for an 18th season in the NHL. And if he didn’t, the season for the Ducks would most likely be in jeopardy, putting them from a team with great depth to one with just one really good line. Selanne didn’t want to keep fans waiting on the announcement of his return, but he also needed to make sure his knee could handle the intensity and fast pace of being on the ice again.
Now, he’s sure and as he says in a video announcement, his middle name is “One More,” and he’s going to live up to it by coming back to play for just one more season. Fans can see Selanne, and his fully recovered knee, in action Saturday, September 17, when the Ducks’ training camp starts at the Honda Center. Training camp, with the exception of games, is open to the public with a $5 donation to the Anaheim Ducks Hockey Foundation being asked at the door.
