If you have traveled so long a road to get where they want it to be?

Alex, you fought your whole life to fulfill your heart.

When you finally earned your shot in the NHL, you made sure you were noticed.

Way knew from your first game that you were a player that would do anything to help your team win.

From our first shift as a line together, we knew this was going to be special.

You always under the room with a smile, a laugh with energy and passion.

A friend on the inspiration to all that refused to give up on the Stanley Cup finals everyday in dedicating yourself to being a better player.

And when you were a better player, we all became better world.

You played every shift like it was your last.

On how long the journey waas to Vancouver and then wait Big goals.

As a linemates, you couldn't ask for better set up.

You were there when the team needed to stir it up.

Wanted to be a difference maker in your finest hour.

Alex Rose, representing the Canuck players.

A former teammate, Alex Edler, is here to present you Alex with a beautiful new Rolex watch, and Alex, the guys would like you to keep it on Pacific standard time.

So you'll always be thinking of your Vancouver Canucks with family teammates and 18 and 1/2 1000 friends in attendance.

Back in 2006 when I played my first game in the NHL for the Canucks, never, never, I would imagine that would be inducted in the Ring of Honor.

He's always been my number one passion ever since I was a kid.

But passion is not the only thing you need to get to the NHL for me.

Hard work, never being satisfied, never quit attitude and always wanted to get better.

And a great supporting cast around me made it possible.

I remember when I signed my first NHL contract, I had a meeting with Mr Francesco equally.

I remember him telling me now you're part of the connects family and that's exactly how I felt for my entire 13 years or in Vancouver.

I want to say a special thank you to Francesco, Paolo and Roberto, like Willie Knee and the entire equity in the family for welcoming me so warmly.

Your family and the stuff you're surrounded yourself with makes this franchise one of the best in the NHL.

And for me, number one in the NHL to all my teammates, each any of every one of them that have worked with that.

And I've played with you guys have all that a positive impact on my career.

Obviously, I want to thank you guys for all those backdoor tap ins you guys gave me.

But more importantly, you guys always believe in myself, and you guys have no idea what it meant to me.

Future, all of Famers, and obviously the best role models I could ever ask for.

Two of the best competitors try best warriors I've went to war with.

I was playing with you guys in Manitoba and you guys were already in Vancouver when I first got the call for you guys are probably the two best competitors I've ever played with to my one of the best stole mate Roberta Long ago.

Yeah, you knew when to keep things light around the locker room with your grants, great sense of humor or you really knew Went to double up and and get ready for the big games.

I will be forever grateful for having you as a stolen May for in the number of years.

My good friend Mason Raymond, That's up there tonight.

That way one of the best roommates I've ever had.

You made sure we had planning asleep on the road, that's for sure.

So manque, Mais thanks for being one of my biggest friends.

I want to take my sister, Sarah and Katherine for always supporting me and obviously my parents for the unconditional love my parents always told me before every game ever since I was a kid to my last game in the NHL to always work hard and have fun.

And that's exactly what I tried to do my entire career.

My beautiful wife, Nancy, That's been by my side since day one.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done for me.

You kind of somehow accepted that AKI was gonna dictate big parts of her life.

And you always understood me better than I understood myself.

So, like I always say, you're the rock of our family.

And this journey would not have been the same without you.

This is Game seven in Chicago on my beautiful Lexie and Jacob.

You guys somehow taught me that AKI is only a game.
