Daniel Sedin (born September 26, 1980) is a Swedish professional ice hockey winger with the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL). His identical twin brother Henrik also plays for the Canucks. Born and raised in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, they have played together throughout their careers; the pair are known for their effectiveness playing off one another.[1] Daniel is known as a goal-scorer, while Henrik is known as a playmaker.[2]

Daniel began his professional career in the Swedish Elite League with Modo Hockey in 1997 and was co-recipient, with Henrik, of the 1999 Golden Puck as Swedish player of the year. He played four seasons with Modo (including a return in 2004–05 due to the NHL lockout), helping the club to two consecutive appearances in the Le Mat Trophy Finals, in 1999 and 2000, where they lost both times. Selected second overall by the Canucks in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, Daniel moved to the NHL in the 2000–01 season. He has spent his entire NHL career in Vancouver, receiving two Cyrus H. McLean Trophies as the team's leading point-scorer in 2006–07 and 2008–09. After emerging as a top player in the club during the 2005–06 season, he has since recorded five consecutive campaigns of at least 20 goals and 70 points.[3]

Internationally, Daniel has competed for the Swedish national team. In addition to being a two-time Winter Olympian, he has appeared in two European Junior Championships, two World Junior Championships and four World Championships. He won a gold medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, and two bronze medals at the 1999 and 2001 World Championships.

Early life

Daniel was born on September 26, 1980, in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, six minutes after his identical twin brother, Henrik.[4] The pair have two older brothers, Stefan and Peter.[4] Their father, Tommy, is a school vice principal and also played for Modo Hockey in the 1960s, while his mother, Tora, is a nurse.[4] Daniel began playing organized hockey with Henrik when they were eight.[5] They did not regularly play on the same line until Daniel switched from centre to wing at 14 years old.[4] Daniel and Henrik both attended high school at the Nolaskolan Gymnasium in Sweden while playing professionally for Modo Hockey.[4]

Playing career

Modo Hockey (1997–2000)

Aged 16, Daniel and Henrik began their professional careers in 1997–98 with Modo Hockey of the Swedish Elite League. Daniel recorded 12 points over 45 games during his rookie season. In his second professional year, he led Modo in scoring with 42 points in 50 games,[6] helping the club to its second regular season title in team history.[7] Daniel then added 12 points in 13 playoff games[3] as Modo advanced to the Le Mat Trophy Finals, where they lost to Brynäs IF.[8] At the end of the campaign, Daniel and Henrik were named co-recipients of the Golden Puck, the Swedish player of the year award.[9]

The Sedins were considered top prospects for the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. Rated as the top draft-eligible players from Europe,[10] they were expected to be top five selections and expressed a desire to play for the same team.[4] As they were unlikely to be picked by the same team, their agent, Mike Barnett, president of international talent agency IMG, presented them with two options to circumvent the usual NHL draft process, allowing them to play together.[4] The first option was for the pair to enter the 1999 draft and not sign with their respective NHL clubs for two years, allowing them to become unrestricted free agents. This option required that they play junior hockey in North America, which was not their intention.[4] Barnett also suggested either Henrik or Daniel opt out of the 1999 draft, hoping that the team that selected the first twin would select the other the following year.[4] On the possibility of the Sedins' playing for separate teams, Vancouver Canucks scout Thomas Gradin commented, "They're good enough to play with anyone, but separately their capacity might decrease by 10 or 15 percent."[4] Nevertheless, Henrik and Daniel both entered the 1999 draft expecting to be selected by separate teams.[5] However, through a series of transactions,[notes 1] Canucks general manager Brian Burke obtained the second and third overall picks, which he used to select Daniel and Henrik, respectively. Gradin notified them of the Canucks' intentions five minutes before the draft.[5] Although Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Rick Dudley was ready to make Daniel his first overall choice before opening negotiations, he was convinced by Burke and Barnett that Daniel would not sign unless his brother was on the same team.[1]

On July 27, 1999, a month following the draft, Daniel and Henrik signed three-year contracts with the Canucks.[12] As the contract did not require them to begin playing in Vancouver immediately, they announced on August 12 they would return to Sweden to play one more season with Modo.[13] During the 1999–2000 season, Daniel finished second in team scoring with 45 points in 50 games, two points behind Henrik.[14] The two brothers played on a line during the season with New York Islanders prospect Mattias Weinhandl.[15] In the subsequent 2000 playoffs, Daniel added a team-leading eight goals and 14 points.[14] He recorded two goals and two assists in the deciding game of the semifinals against Brynäs IF, a 6–3 win for Modo.[16] Modo made their second straight finals appearance, where they lost the playoff championship to Djurgårdens IF in three straight games.[17]

Vancouver Canucks (from 2000)

The 2000–01 NHL season was Daniel's first season with the Canucks. His debut was the team's first game of the campaign on October 5, 2000, a 6–3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.[18] Daniel and Henrik became the fourth pair of twins to have played in the NHL.[18] Three days later, Daniel scored his first career NHL goal against goaltender Dan Cloutier of the Tampa Bay Lightning.[19] Assisted by Henrik, the goal tied the game at 5–5 with 1:13 minutes left to go in a 6–5 regulation win.[19] On November 30, 2000, he suffered a shoulder injury, sidelining him for four games.[20] During his recovery, he was reprimanded by Canucks head coach Marc Crawford who told him that playing through pain is part of being in the NHL.[21] Later in the season, he missed an additional three games due to a back injury, shortening his rookie season to 75 games.[20] He became the first rookie in 2000–01 to reach 20 goals when he scored on March 21, 2001, in a 1–1 tie against the Columbus Blue Jackets.[22] Finishing the campaign with that goal total, he tied for second among league rookies in scoring with Shane Willis, behind Brad Richards.[23] He also had 14 assists for 34 points in total.[3] Making his Stanley Cup playoffs debut against the Colorado Avalanche, Daniel recorded an assist in the opening game of the first-round series, a 5–4 loss for the Canucks.[24] He added his first NHL playoff goal later in the series as the Canucks were eliminated in four games.[25] He and Henrik played primarily on the Canucks' third line.[21] Daniel received one third-place vote from the Professional Hockey Writers' Association for the Calder Memorial Trophy as NHL rookie of the year, finishing eighth in award balloting overall.[26][27]

During the off-season in May 2001, Daniel underwent surgery for a herniated disc in his lower back, from which he suffered during the 2001 World Championships in Germany.[28] In his second NHL season, Daniel struggled with the lowest goals total of his career with nine. The campaign included a 25-game stretch without a goal that ended in the beginning of December 2001.[29] With 23 assists, he had 32 points overall.[3] Vancouver finished with the eighth seed in the Western Conference for the second consecutive year.[30] Facing the Detroit Red Wings in the first round, they were eliminated in six games.[31] The following season in 2002–03, Daniel continued his point-scoring pace with 14 goals and 17 assists.[3] Vancouver finished the regular season fourth overall in the West and advanced to the second round for the first time in Daniel's career. He appeared in a career-high 14 playoff games and recorded six points,[3] as the Canucks were defeated in seven games by the Minnesota Wild.[32] Daniel and Henrik were re-signed in the off-season to one-year, US$1.125 million contracts on July 29, 2003.[33]

The Sedins began the 2003–04 season on a line with first-year player Jason King.[34] The trio were dubbed the "Mattress Line" (two twins and a King) and formed the Canucks' second scoring line until King was re-assigned to the team's minor league affiliate midway through the season.[34] Daniel was awarded his first penalty shot on January 17, 2004, in a game against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. He was stopped by goaltender Jean-Sébastien Giguère as Anaheim went on to win the game 2–1.[35] On February 24, 2004, Daniel recorded his first NHL career hat-trick with a four-goal effort in a 4–2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.[36] Over 82 games, Daniel increased his production to 18 goals and 54 points.[3] The Canucks won the Northwest Division title in the regular season,[37] before losing to the Calgary Flames in the first round of the playoffs.[38] Daniel recorded a goal and two assists in the seven-game series.[3]

Daniel was re-signed to a one-year contract on September 10, 2004, during the off-season.[39] However, due to the 2004–05 lockout, Daniel returned to Sweden to play for Modo, along with Henrik and their Canucks teammate Markus Näslund. He finished the season with 33 points in 49 games, fourth in team scoring behind Peter Forsberg, Mattias Weinhandl and Henrik.[40]

As NHL play resumed in 2005–06, Daniel returned to the Canucks and scored 71 points.[3] He tied for third in team point-scoring with Todd Bertuzzi, behind Henrik and Näslund.[41] His scoring success that season was influenced, in part, by the signing of winger Anson Carter, who played on the Sedins' line and led the team in goal-scoring.[41] The trio matched the scoring pace of the Canucks' top line of Näslund, Bertuzzi and Brendan Morrison.[41] Vancouver's head coach at the time, Marc Crawford, recalled that season as marking the Sedins' ascent to leaders on the team, stating that "by the end of that year, they definitely were our top guys. They had surpassed Naslund and Bertuzzi."[1] Despite the brothers' individual achievements, the Canucks missed the playoffs for the first time in their careers.[42] During the off-season, Daniel and Henrik re-signed with the Canucks to identical three-year, $10.75 million contracts on June 30, 2006.[43] Despite the Sedins' success with Carter, the Canucks did not re-sign him; he joined the Columbus Blue Jackets the following season.[44]

Daniel in 2009

In the 2006–07 season, Daniel established himself as the Canucks' top scorer. He led the team with a career-high 36 goals and 84 points to lead the Canucks in scoring.[45] He also tied a league record with four goals in overtime over the course of the season.[46] Daniel notched his second career NHL hat trick on February 6, 2007, scoring two goals against goaltender Dwayne Roloson and one into an empty net.[35] He later took the second penalty shot of his career on March 8, 2007, against the Phoenix Coyotes. However, he was stopped once again by Curtis Joseph; Vancouver went on to win the game 4–2.[35] Winger Taylor Pyatt, acquired in a trade from the Buffalo Sabres during the off-season, replaced Carter as the Sedins' linemate[47] and went on to score a career-high 23 goals. In the opening game of the 2007 playoffs against the Dallas Stars, Daniel assisted on Henrik's quadruple-overtime goal to end the longest-ever Canucks playoff game and the sixth longest in NHL history at 138 minutes and six seconds of play.[48] Daniel struggled to produce offensively in the playoffs, however, managing five points over 12 games as the Canucks were eliminated by the Anaheim Ducks in the second round.[3][49]

Daniel recorded 74 points in 2007–08,[3] as the Canucks missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. He finished second in team point-scoring to Henrik and first in goals with 29.[50] The Sedins saw some time with Näslund on their top line during the season to form an all-Swedish forward unit.[51][52] The following season, Daniel recorded 31 goals and 82 points, tying Henrik for the team lead in points.[53] He opened the campaign being named the NHL's First Star of the Week on October 13, 2008, with a five-point effort over two games.[54] Steve Bernier had been acquired in the 2008 off-season in another trade with the Sabres, and began the season on the top line with the Sedins.[55] Bernier was later removed;[56] on February 12, 2009, head coach Alain Vigneault moved Alexandre Burrows up from the third line during a game against the Phoenix Coyotes.[57] Late in the campaign, Daniel was named the NHL's Second Star of the Week on March 30, 2009, after recording four goals and four assists in four games, including a game-winning goal.[58] He added 10 points over 10 games in the 2009 playoffs,[3] helping the Canucks advance to the second round, where they were defeated in six games by the Chicago Blackhawks.[59]

Set to become unrestricted free agents on July 1, 2009, Daniel and Henrik began negotiating with the Canucks in the off-season and were reported to have asked for 12-year, $63 million contracts in mid-June.[60] With free agency looming, Canucks general manager Mike Gillis visited the Sedins in Sweden, where they agreed on identical five-year, $30.5 million contracts on July 1.[61]

Four games into the 2009–10 season, Daniel suffered the first major injury of his career, breaking his foot in a game against the Montreal Canadiens. He suffered the injury after being hit by a slapshot from teammate Alex Edler. Although Daniel finished the game and recorded three assists, x-rays several days later revealed a fracture.[62] He was sidelined for 18 games, returning to the ice on November 22 against the Chicago Blackhawks.[63] Soon after his return, he notched his third career NHL hat trick in a 4–2 win against the Atlanta Thrashers on December 10.[64] Four days later, he was named the NHL's Second Star of the Week with seven points over the course of the week.[65] In the final game of the regular season, on April 10, 2010, against the Calgary Flames, Daniel scored his fourth career NHL hat trick in a 7–3 win. All three goals were assisted by his brother, helping Henrik pass Alexander Ovechkin for the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading point-scorer.[66] The last goal was chosen by The Sports Network in a fan-voted poll as the NHL's play of the year; Daniel received a between-the-legs tip pass from Henrik near the corner boards before beating goaltender Miika Kiprusoff with a between-the-legs deke himself.[67] Daniel finished the season with a career-high 56 assists and 85 points despite playing an injury-shortened 63-game campaign.[3] His 1.35 points per game rate was third in the league behind Henrik and Ovechkin.[68] In the subsequent 2010 playoffs, Daniel recorded 10 points in the opening round against the Los Angeles Kings, including the series-winning goal in the late stages of game six.[69] Against the Chicago Blackhawks the following round, his production decreased to four points as the Canucks were eliminated in six games.[70] In the off-season, Daniel was named to the NHL Second All-Star Team.[71] It marked the first time since 1973–74 that two brothers were named post-season NHL All-Stars, as Henrik had been named to the First Team.[71] They were also chosen to appear together on the cover of EA Sports' European version of the NHL 11 video game.[72]

Daniel competed for Sweden at the 1997 European Junior Championships, recording two goals and six points over six games. The following year, at the 1998 European Junior Championships, Sweden's final game required them to beat Russia by four goals to surpass Finland in goal differential and win the gold medal. Daniel recorded two assists as Sweden won 5–1.[4]

In his NHL draft year, Daniel competed for Sweden at the 1999 World Junior Championships in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He recorded 10 points in six games, and tied for second in tournament scoring with Daniel Tkaczuk of Canada and Scott Gomez of the United States, behind Brian Gionta of the United States.[73] Sweden failed to medal, losing the bronze medal game against Slovakia by a 5–4 score.[74] Later that year, Daniel made his debut for the Swedish men's team at the 1999 World Championships in Norway. He notched one assist over nine games as Sweden won the bronze medal.[3][75]

In 2000, Daniel once again competed in both the World Junior and Men's Championships. At the junior tournament in Sweden, Daniel matched his previous year's output with 10 points. He was the third highest point-scorer in the tournament, behind Henrik and Milan Kraft of the Czech Republic.[76] Sweden failed to earn a medal once more, finishing in fifth place.[77] At the Men's World Championships, Daniel and Henrik both recorded five points; they were the youngest players on the squad.[78] Sweden did not achieve a medal again, losing to Finland in the quarterfinal.[79]

Following his rookie season with the Vancouver Canucks, Daniel made his third World Championships appearance, in 2001 in Germany. He was injured midway through the tournament and had to return to Vancouver for surgery on a herniated disc in his lower back.[28] Sweden went on to a second bronze medal in three years, defeating the United States 3–2 in the bronze medal game.[80] He made a fourth tournament appearance at the 2005 World Championships in Austria. Sweden missed out on the bronze medal, losing to Russia 6–3.[81] Daniel had an assist in a losing effort during the bronze medal game.[81] He finished with nine points in nine games, tied for fourth in tournament-scoring.[82]

On December 22, 2005, Daniel was named to the Swedish Olympic team for the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy.[83] He joined Henrik, Markus Näslund and Mattias Öhlund as one of four Canucks on the squad.[83] Competing in his first Olympics, he contributed four points as Sweden won a gold medal,[3] defeating Finland 3–2 in the final.[84] Four years later, he was once again named to the Swedish Olympic team for the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.[85] Despite going into the tournament as one of Sweden's key players (in the corresponding NHL season, he was third among Swedish players in points despite missing 19 games),[86] he ranked seventh among team forwards in total ice time.[87] Sweden failed to defend their gold medal from Turin, losing to Slovakia in the quarterfinal.[88] Daniel had a goal and two assists in four games.[3]

Playing style

Throughout his career, Daniel has been known as a goal-scorer, usually finishing plays initiated by his brother, Henrik.[2][1] However, Daniel is also a proficient playmaker and generates many sequences with Henrik off the cycle.[89][90] Daniel's familiarity with Henrik's play enhances his effectiveness; the pair are known for their ability to find each other intuitively with passes,[1] often without looking.[91][92]

With offensive skill marking the prime component of his game, Daniel is known to avoid initiating contact with opposing players. Early in their career, he and Henrik were knocked off the puck easily, leading many in the media to refer to them as the "Sedin Sisters".[1] As a result, players have often taken advantage of their lack of physicality by playing aggressively against them. This once led Canucks general manager Brian Burke to publicly complain, commenting during a 2002 playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings, "'Sedin' is not Swedish for 'punch me or headlock me in a scrum'."[93] As their careers progressed, the Sedins have worked on their strength, improving their puck possession, allowing them to play more effectively.[1]

Personal life

Daniel met his wife Marinette in his hometown Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, around 1998.[94] She came with him to Vancouver upon the start of Daniel's NHL career in 2000,[95] before the two married in 2005.[94] After earning a bachelor's degree in psychology at the University of British Columbia[95] Marinette became involved with the Canucks Family Education Centre, helping female immigrants transition to the English language.[96] Together, they have a daughter, Ronja, who was born in 2006, and a son, Erik, who was born in 2008.[94] They live in the Vancouver neighbourhood of Shaughnessy during the NHL season, returning to Sweden every summer.[97]

In March 2010, Daniel and Marinette made a joint $1.5 million donation with Henrik and his wife Johanna to the BC Children's Hospital's $200-million project for a new building. The two families requested that it be put towards a pediatric intensive-care unit and a diagnostic imaging area.[98]
