Daniel Sedin (born September 26, 1980) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey winger. He played a total of 17 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL). He spent his entire NHL career with the Vancouver Canucks playing alongside his identical twin brother Henrik. Born and raised in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, they played together throughout their careers; the pair were known for their effectiveness playing off one another.[1] Daniel was known as a goal-scorer, while Henrik was known as a playmaker.[2]

On April 5, 2018, the Sedin twins played their last game together in Rogers Arena against the Arizona Coyotes.[3] Daniel played his last game on April 7, 2018 and retired alongside his brother after the 2017–18 NHL season.[4] The Sedins both won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy at the end of the season, making it the first time two brothers shared the trophy.[5]

On February 12, 2020, a ceremony took place which celebrated the Sedins' career. During the event, Daniel's jersey number 22 and Henrik's number 33 were retired and raised to the rafters of Rogers Arena. [6] On 28 June 2022, Daniel and Henrik became the first Canucks inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. [7]
