The Anaheim Ducks will retire Teemu Selanne's No. 8 sweater in a ceremony on Jan. 11.
Anaheim will raise Selanne's jersey to the Honda Center rafters on ''Teemu Tribute Night'' when they host the Winnipeg Jets, Selanne's first NHL team.
''Teemu is our franchise icon and deserves to be the first player in club history to have his jersey retired,'' Ducks owner Henry Samueli said in a statement. ''His dedication to this franchise and our community is unmatched.''
Selanne retired this offseason after 21 seasons in the NHL.
Selanne is the 11th-leading goal-scorer in NHL history with 684, and his 1,457 career points rank 15th in league history.
