Now before this Vancouver Canucks daydream gets out of hand, let’s lay down some reality: Henrik and Daniel Sedin are truly unique. They’re two of a kind, being identical, but more importantly, they’ve been able to play a game together since they picked up a pair of sticks. Hockey is a team game, and many families have carried on the tradition, but very few of them have been able to build this kind of life-long chemistry through their professional playing careers.
There are a few exceptions to the rule. The Staal brothers: Eric, Jordan and Marc, all still players in the league (though Eric is looking for a new contract) have spent time playing with each other in the NHL.
