Humble and Classy to the End

I have been talking on and on about Trevor Linden, and this is just another piece.

For those who were not able to watch his retirement ceremony, you have missed something memorable and touching. The whole hour of the ceremony was quite special, but the highlights of the evening were definitely Trevor Linden’s speech, and the raising of his number 16.

Instead of me talking on and on about how humble and classy Trevor Linden is, I think it would be much better off if you hear his speech yourself. The only thing I can say is: from the time he was drafted as an 18-year-old boy to the time he retires as a 38-year-old veteran, Trevor Linden is a team player that puts the welfare of his team above himself. He has always been humble and classy, and represents all of the values we expect in a role model. Congratulations, Trevor Linden!
