The Anaheim Ducks have announced plans to retire the number 15 jersey of Ryan Getzlaf on January 30. This marks the fourth time a Ducks player's number will be retired, joining the ranks of Teemu Selanne, Paul Kariya, and Scott Niedermayer. Getzlaf, the franchise's all-time leading scorer with 1,019 points in 1,157 games, played his final 12 seasons as the team's captain, the longest tenure in history.

Ryan Getzlaf, a native of Saskatchewan, earned his reputation as one of the premier playmakers in the NHL, securing a Stanley Cup title in 2007 and Olympic gold medals in 2010 and 2014. He was also a runner-up for the Hart Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable Player. Getzlaf's jersey number will join the esteemed collection at Honda Center, honoring his contributions to the franchise.
