Trevor Linden Day
Courtesy Vancouver Canucks
Thursday, June 12 - 12:18:01 PM News1130 Staff

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver city council has passed a motion that will see the mayor proclaim 'Trevor Linden' day, the day the Canucks retire his jersey number.

Council also directed its street naming committee to find a way to recognize the former Canucks captain, who officially announced his retirement yesterday.

I like this idea giving him a day for him self. AND a street to be named after him.

Well deserved.

[JJLuongo]

June 11th should be...the day he was drafted, the day he retired

The thing is, it's only going to be a 1 times thing, not an annual thing, and we shouldn't have to wait another year for it.

june 11th sounds like the best date....as JJluongo said...the day he was drafted and the day he retired. Perfect!

I dont think you understand...when a day is named after someone, its an annual thing

[trek]

Cool. I like the idea of having a street renamed for him, not so much the single-event of a day. Still, both are well deserved.

[nsharpminor]

Nice.

[I♥TrueBlood]

Sweet

[JLARO]

should be a stat...

I don't think so.....
I'm pretty sure after the 98 olympics, there was a Ross Rebagliati Day,
But you never hear anything of it anymore.

As far as I've heard, when they name a day after someone, it's a one time thing, otherwise everyday on the calendar would be taken by now.

[King of Anarchy]

That's awesome.

Not much of a surprise, though.

[TheKottonmouthed]

it better be an Annual Thing

It should be the day June 11th day he first don a canucks jersey and the day he retired as a canuck. wuite fitting i must say

[megaNAZZYfan19]

Sweet! those are both good ideas

But it is only for our city... not like every day named after anyone would be on the calendar, cause this is just for our city. So not too many people, but u could be right, I'm not too sure, but I thought it was annual

Ross Rebagliati is now remembered not for his day but time of day.... 4:20

Already up. #3 on the Canucks home page news slider. 5 mins long though.

[CanuckStuckinCalgary86]

this is great, it should either be the 11th, the day he was drafted and the day he retired,

OR

the 16th, everyone can see my reasoning behind this view

well deserved, I still wish he could play one more year

[canucksnhl]

It will probably be an annual thing, but in Vancouver only I'm guessing...
