Gary Thorne, that was one of the most iconic calls and one of the most memorable moments in hockey history. That's the kind of thing legends are made of.

@Sonny Elliot thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
From a Devils fan, Paul Kariya is and always will be my favorite player to ever play the game of hockey. Congrats to him. He deserves every bit of this.
What a tremendous speech. What a humble class act. One immediately senses that’s a true leader speaking there (not only cause he was thanking the equipment guys). And of course: so well deserved! Congrats.
To this day Paul Kariya remains my favorite hockey player. I'm glad that he has finally allowed himself to be out in the public's eyes like this...I'm sure the Duck's organization has long wanted to do this for him, but he was MIA for quite a long time, he really cut himself out of the hockey environment. I hope one day he can comeback in any capacity, he has so much lessons to share....but that is if he is still interested. I love how he didn't forget to thank the equipment guys & their therapist. Very well spoken, one of the best guy on & off the ice, truly a class act.
Just awesome all around. Teemu is hilarious, great honoring of Kariya’s career, and cool to see a team building history. Just think about it...in 50 years youll see that number and can say i remember that and seeing that guy play.
Paul Kariya should absolutely be considered as one of the most skilled and greatest offensive talents in NHL history. Unfortunately, he played in a very bad hockey era that allowed for far too much reckless violence and if he had played in the current NHL, he would undoubtedly be right up there with Crosby, McDavid, Ovechkin, Toews, etc. Also, a magnificent on-stage delivery given by Teemu Selanne to honour his good friend and teammate. #8 and #9 -- two spectacular hockey players -- two great men. These two guys are prime examples of why hockey is the greatest sport in the world.
@@politicalbandwagon4989 he's been a good player for sure but with 883 points in 1067 games he's not hall of fame calibre like all the people that other guy listed only way he has a chance at the HOF is because of the cups but I doubt it
I am a massive leafs fan, but I have to say, this is one of the best presentations I have ever seen. @18:42 when that banner lights up! Great job Anaheim, well deserved Paul Kariya.
Now this is an amazing jersey retirement. They all should be like this. Best jersey retirement vid I have ever seen. Great job Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
My favorite player as a kid, without a doubt. (This is coming from a sharks fan!) at a time when I didn't know the rules, even then I knew when Paul scored. The man is the reason I love hockey. Soooo truly in the wrong era. Paul would have dominated in today's leauge without a doubt. Take a look at his stats from the dead puck era. Will never forget him coming back LIKE A BOSS and scoring a goal he doesn't even remember scoring. Chilling. A great player, and an even better guy. Thank you Paul, for sharing your gift with the world and bringing excitement. I would not be the hockey fan I am today, without you. Glad to see you're doing well.
I went to the same elementary school as Paul in North Vancouver. Even though we were 15 years apart he was the pride and joy of that school. Such a great player
I became a fan of the Ducks pretty much when they started out. I think I was 7 years old. Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne were always my heroes from start. Makes me feel old watching this, haven't watched hockey in 20 years I think but I love to go back and watch some of the great players of the 90's from time to time!
Brilliant player, very unfortunate to have taken too many hits. The most determined little guy to play, possibly since Ted Lindsay himself. I cried the first time I watched this, crying again as I watch it now.
I'm not crying 😭 your crying Paul your up there forever!!! Paul Kariya is my #9 and he deserves all the respect and love for what he has done in the Sport
Yea I know that, I'm saying is Teemu thinking Paul was Japanese shouldn't be incorrect. Just because I'm born in America and someone thinks I'm Filipino is totally correct. My nationality is American, my ethnicity is Filipino. Paul is half-Japanese, so I'm just confused as to why Teemu thinking Paul was Japanese was incorrect. Can you explain that?
His career was supposed to come full circle, but a concussion denied him one final season in Anaheim. I remember when 8 and 9 (Selanne and Kariya) were the faces of the team.
@@gidzmobug2323 2014 he retired but either way he will get his day just thought it would be sooner seeing that he's only 1 of 5 guys to win a Conn Smyth for the losing team ( and 1 of 2 goalies the other being Ron Hextall ) and then winning a cup so maybe they are just leaving the best for last 😉.
OFF THE FLOOR, ON THE BOARD, PAUL KARIYA!
Amazing moment indeed!
Same, I didn't think mere text would do that to you.
Gary Thorne, that was one of the most iconic calls and one of the most memorable moments in hockey history. That's the kind of thing legends are made of.
Thats the way !!!!
That and darren McCartys cup winning goal in 97 are the 2 best calls in hockey history! Bring back thorne!
Paul looks like he still could play. Guy doesn’t age
Physically he probably could have played.

@Sonny Elliot it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
Long overdue, but I am glad the Ducks organization finally did it. #9 and #8 look great up there.
always looked great together! 2 extremely classy gentlemen.
What a DUCKS ! I remember someone saying / That He doesnt want to play for MICKEY MOUSE Team !
Best duo
#8 and #9 best bromance EVER.
Honestly I loved this guy as a kid I wish he won the cup.
It pains me that he didn't and I've never been a ducks fan.
Same
I hope he considers being part of the coaching staff or front office. He can win a cup that way now :)
He choice dollars over a cup...
From a Devils fan, Paul Kariya is and always will be my favorite player to ever play the game of hockey. Congrats to him. He deserves every bit of this.
A Devil from Finland agrees!
Spectacular speech by Teemu.
When someone gets a really good friend receives what he deserves :)
What a player. The speed, the shooting, the skating. And that teemu, what a great guy!
No brainer... Kariya, Iginla, and Sakic... 2002 gold medal heroes
Ice Hockey UNITES CANADA ! No matter Where You are born - Coast to Coast or Even Nova Scotia !
Oh, man, that game was special
Man to see Steve Rucchin, Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne together again at the pond :) thanks for the memories #20 #09 #08
He thanked the equipment crew. Impressive.
About time Kariya's number was retired.
Next should be Giguere.
What a tremendous speech. What a humble class act. One immediately senses that’s a true leader speaking there (not only cause he was thanking the equipment guys).
And of course: so well deserved! Congrats.

One of my favorite players growing up so amazing to see this finally happen 😊

I'm happy Paul has found his peace outside of hockey, and enjoying his quiet life.
What a class act! Teemu you really did honour your friend. Paul Kariya world class player.
This is awesome! Was my favorite player as a kid
Was over 25 years ago my favorite Duck of all time and to this day still is!!!
Something flew in my eye ! My childhood hero.
Paul Kariya flew into your eye?
This is so awesome. Congrats Paul! Selänne and Kariya my favorite players as a kid. Greeting from Finland
Paul Kariya is pure class class class class!
TOP already in MAINE !
imagine what he could do in the NHL today, he was a very exciting player to watch glad to see him back
Class, pure class. Wonderful dude, wish he had a longer career.

Really well said, my man.
If Paul was playing in this decade he would’ve been a first overall pick for sure. Imagine seeing Kariya with Getzy and Perry
you throw Toews in there with the actual great players? LOL

My all time favorite.
Finally.
My favorite team finally recognizes our Captain!
OUR CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN! Congrats Paul.

Now this is an amazing jersey retirement. They all should be like this. Best jersey retirement vid I have ever seen. Great job Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.

SO GRATEFUL TO WITNESS THIS AND GOT MY JERSEY SIGNED AND PICTURE TAKEN BY PAUL KARIYA!!!!
Paul Kariya definitely deserved this. I am really happy my hero and favourite player of all time got his number retired
From a die-hard Wings fan, congrats, Paul. Well deserved!!

Teemu could be the biggest class act in all of sports. Congrats Paul!
one of the biggest class acts in the game. i was a massive Kariya fan growing up
The Dynamic Duo are together again in the rafters of Honda Center.! What a beautiful ceremony. Congrats Paul.
As a Flyers fan in that era, I got to watch the Legion of Doom, but watching these 2 great players was awesome.
he was my first favorite player and first pro whos jersey i got. i also wore number 9 for years because of him. congrats paul!
Ducks 8 And 9 Forever Best Hockey Duo Ever
tuntematon tuntemton 11 and 22 (sedins)
I would still go with 99 and 17
@@milestonemonger1523 You mean Kurri #17 - and #99 Wayne ! I Cant spell His ( 99 ) name !
Milton Butler 68 and 66
this is a classic ceremony. well done. teemu hilarious
Favorite player by a mile growing up
good to see the boys back together again! and about time!
Man nice to see this, Paul was one of my favs growing up
I went to the same elementary school as Paul in North Vancouver. Even though we were 15 years apart he was the pride and joy of that school. Such a great player
How is Their Hockey ? Hockey UNITES CANADA from Early Age - to HOUR GAME ! ( 60 minutes )
Two class guys right there. Every team would've loved to have them play for them! Congrats Paul!
Hes the reason why i got into hockey, amazing player rightly so having his number retired
I became a fan of the Ducks pretty much when they started out. I think I was 7 years old. Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne were always my heroes from start. Makes me feel old watching this, haven't watched hockey in 20 years I think but I love to go back and watch some of the great players of the 90's from time to time!
Watching him lead the small Maine college win the NCAA, I knew he was a hall of famer when I was 12.
he made me love this game - saludos de chile!
As a Devils fan, I agree with his number being retired. Well deserved, Kariya!
There must be dust in my eye
No, its just someone left this bowl of onions out.
The iconic moment of Kayria's career: his goal in Game 6 of the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals
A player ill always admire along with pavel bure
Ty for the memories Paul Kariya . I’m glad nobody will never wear #9 again . Congratulations
hockey is so beautiful
#35 would fit amazingly next to those numbers.
jean-sébatien is great guy
27 is joining them soon! Don't worry, Giggy will be up there very soon.
Probably next after Niedermayer.
The banners look beautiful together
Brilliant player, very unfortunate to have taken too many hits. The most determined little guy to play, possibly since Ted Lindsay himself. I cried the first time I watched this, crying again as I watch it now.
The mightiest ducks ever! Number 8 & 9 together 4ever.
He was my hero in my youth . a awesome Player who had sadly a lot of head Injurys >.< . but well deserved
Well deserved for such a humble person!!!
Thank you for sharing, great introduction Teemu. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Europe ...
Love Paul. Shows you these are the legit athletes who give their all compare to others
he still looks like he can play
Just precious
Good stuff! Saw him at the hockey hall of fame game in Toronto!
Well deserved. All around amazing
I watched this live in my living room and gave Paul a standing ovation, and I'm not even a Ducks fan.....enough said
I was there and I'm soo thankfull
Dynamic on & off the ice... a true legend of the game.
I'm not crying 😭 your crying Paul your up there forever!!! Paul Kariya is my #9 and he deserves all the respect and love for what he has done in the Sport
Love you Paul❤️it was a joy to see you performance.
Who else cried watching this and still does
Love these guys
I love Paul Kariya . He is my GOAT
Another reason why Hockey is the best sport on the planet... god I love you HOCKEY...
This Planet !
Well spoken, well raised man
Paul Kariya did so much for hockey. Period.
congrats kariya on your jersey retirement
:''''') Congrats PK!!!!!!!!!!!! Favorite player of all time!
We love you Paul!
It was a great night for honour a great Player.
From Austria to Anaheim to be there😍😎
Love you always and forever ❤️ God bless you
I loved everything about the ceremony. Best part was NOT mentioning Michael Eisner & his boy Tony Tavares.
Surprised that neither one of them were there, since they were in charge when Kariya was there.
The new owners have to approve the retired number . So no need for them to be there .
@@nhlhockeyman8 I meant for someone from Disney to be there for the ceremony. The Ducks were owned by Disney while Kariya was there.
This is amazing 👍
I loved this guy as a kid and I love him still, too bad that he didnt win SC with Teemu (: GOAT Paul Kariya
Teemu thinking Paul was Japanese lol I'm dead.
He looks Japanese decent, given how Vancouver has a lot Asian people and proximity to Asia I wouldn't be surprised.
His dad is Japanese... so wouldn’t that make him Japanese?
Don Macanlalay Japanese have been in Vancouver for like 200 years dude. Hes probably like second or third generation
Yea I know that, I'm saying is Teemu thinking Paul was Japanese shouldn't be incorrect. Just because I'm born in America and someone thinks I'm Filipino is totally correct. My nationality is American, my ethnicity is Filipino. Paul is half-Japanese, so I'm just confused as to why Teemu thinking Paul was Japanese was incorrect. Can you explain that?
@@directedbydon yes, Teemu said he didn't think hockey was that big in Japan.
about time
Bitter much?
@@chrisfoster8728 nah he just deserves recognition for his career
These two guys still look like they could play 82 games in the league!
And he damn well deserved to have his jersey retired. Well earned, and deeply respected.
His career was supposed to come full circle, but a concussion denied him one final season in Anaheim. I remember when 8 and 9 (Selanne and Kariya) were the faces of the team.
Giggy should be the next to get his number retired .
Neidermayer gets his retired in February. I think Guigerre recently retired.
@@gidzmobug2323 2014 he retired but either way he will get his day just thought it would be sooner seeing that he's only 1 of 5 guys to win a Conn Smyth for the losing team ( and 1 of 2 goalies the other being Ron Hextall ) and then winning a cup so maybe they are just leaving the best for last 😉.
There is no doubt that after Niedermayer's number goes up in February, the next one will be #35. No doubt whatsoever.
Can expect a Perry and Getz soon at least!
@@StonedSpagooter Not while they are still playing.
The love that building has for Paul is palpable. What a special night for ducks fans.
#8 & #9 the circle is complete!
LEGEND!!!
Had Paul sign my arm and got it tattooed!
Jesus, this was both so fun and classy.
