Aaron Rome spent four seasons on the west coast and made himself a fixture on the bottom defensive pairing. He was part of the grit which helped the Vancouver Canucks go far in the playoffs, and push them through gruelling, Presidents Trophy winning seasons.
Never in his career was Rome known for his offensive prowess. In 148 games for the blue and green, Rome notched 19 points. Most of the time, fans would not remember a player with such dismal stats. However, it was not his skill or offensive prowess which enraged him into Vancouver hockey folklore.
