Q: What does it mean for your families, wives and kids?

Daniel: “It starts with mom and dad growing up because they did so much for us. They wanted to be here these two days but mom has a bad back and couldn’t make the flight. But our wives have been there for us and the kids have grown up here. We have a lot of great friends outside of hockey we like spending time with and it’s a perfect situation for us.”

Henrik: “Our families have been through a lot as well and being away from home as much as I have, the wives did a lot of work behind the scenes and it’s the same honour for them.”

Q: What memorabilia will go into the Hall display, and what would you like to see?

Daniel: “We have a lot of old jerseys and sticks and equipment, and I like to see things we’ve done outside of hockey because being part of the Canucks means we’ve been involved in a lot of charities.”

Henrik: “I’d like to see a mix of what we’ve been through, things we’ve won and teams we’ve been on. I’m sure they’ll do a good job.”

Q: What impact and legacy have you left the sport in B.C.?

Daniel: “We did everything we could to be the best we could, and hopefully that can inspire people and inspire them with what we did outside of hockey.”

Henrik: “Trying to be the best people we could be. Fans can think what they want of us as players — some are going to like us and some aren’t — but if you can be remembered as a good person, that’s No. 1.”

Q: Could you have accomplished this without each other?

Daniel: “I doubt it. We helped each other since we were little kids and inspiring each other by competing and pushing ourselves because even the first few years over here, we did a lot of talking to get through the tough times. And we got better slowly, together. We wouldn’t be here without each other.”
