Summary
Teemu Selanne, nicknamed the Finnish Flash, exploded in his rookie season for the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, scoring a record 76 goals, tying for the league lead, winning the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie and making the all-star team. Far from fading in his sophomore season, Selanne proved to be no flash in the pan, scoring more than a point a game, and going on to score 684 goals and 1,457 points over his astonishing 21-year career with the Jets, Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks and Colorado Avalanche. He scored another 44 goals and 88 points in the playoffs, winning the Stanley Cup with Anaheim. Selanne still holds the record for most goals and assists by a rookie in NHL history and the most points in a season. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2017—only the second Finn (after Jari Kurri) ever elected to the Hall.
