ANAHEIM, Calif.
Kings-Jersey/">Harry Giles Jersey . -- Teemu Selanne
is ready for his last skate. Selanne is returning to the
Anaheim Ducks for his 21st and final NHL season, the 43-
year-old Finnish forward announced Friday. After spending
most of the summer contemplating his future, he released
a humorous video on YouTube confirming hell be back for
one more run at another Stanley Cup title. He also hopes
to play for Finland in his record sixth Olympics in Sochi
in February. Selanne agreed to a one-year deal worth $2
million -- and for the first time in his now-annual
flirtations with retirement, the Finnish Flash insists he
wont be back. "Now itll be easier to take advantage of
every day," Selanne said. "I think its good for
everybody. My family, too. Theyve been asking some
questions over the years, and now everybody knows." Two
weeks before the Ducks open training camp, Selanne
confirmed hes still hungry for another season as the NHLs
oldest active player. The right wing has flirted with
retirement every year since Anaheim won the Stanley Cup
in 2007, always electing to return to the Ducks. He is
the 15th-leading scorer in NHL history with 1,430 points,
and his 675 career goals are 11th-most in league history.
Selanne has spent parts of 14 seasons with Anaheim in an
NHL career than began in Winnipeg in 1992. "He clearly
still has passion for the game and cant wait to get
started," Anaheim general manager Bob Murray said. "We
are so pleased that Teemu will end his career where he
belongs." And four years after Selanne insisted he was
done with international hockey at the Vancouver Games, he
confirmed he would play in Sochi if selected to the
Finnish team. He is the top scorer in Olympic hockey
history with 37 points in 31 games dating back to the
Albertville Games in 1992. "Thats a big bonus for the
next season," Selanne said. "Obviously, this could be my
sixth Olympics, so its something Im very proud of. Thats
absolutely my goal, for sure." Hockey fans will have one
more season to enjoy the speedy forwards sublime goal-
scoring skill and effervescent personality -- something
he showed off in a video presentation he wrote himself.
Selannes announcement video shows him struggling at golf,
eventually throwing his bag into a lake in frustration.
When he realizes his phone is in the bag, he jumps into
the lake to retrieve it before calling Murray. "Im coming
back," Selanne says. "Yeah, but this is it. This is my
final one." The video was filmed on the course in Coto de
Caza, the gated community in Orange County where Selannes
family lives year-round. His acting skills aside, Selanne
already has created an indelible mark on his sport ever
since he burst onto the NHL scene with the Winnipeg Jets
as a 22-year-old phenom, scoring a rookie-record 76 goals
and leading the NHL in scoring. He has led the NHL in
goals three times -- including 1999, when he won the
inaugural Richard Trophy -- while scoring at least 20
goals in 17 seasons. He also played for San Jose and
Colorado between two stints in Anaheim, where he is a
beloved fan favourite and the franchises career scoring
leader with 961 points in 902 games. With 675 goals,
Selanne is six behind 41-year-old New Jersey forward
Jaromir Jagr for 10th place in NHL history, and is third
on the NHLs career power-play goals list with 251. With
strong seasons, both veterans could catch Mark Messier
(694), Steve Yzerman (692) or Mario Lemieux (690) on the
career goals list. Selanne realizes the grind in front of
him with a packed NHL schedule around the Olympic break.
He expects to preserve his health by taking a few games
off during the season, as he did a few times last year
during the lockout-shortened slate. "I didnt really want
to sit out for a game (last season), but I realized
afterward its going to be pretty good for me," Selanne
said. "Well sit down where the schedule is really hectic,
and maybe I can take some nights off. Last year it was
almost impossible to get the recovery you needed."
Selanne met with Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau before making
his decision, coming away confident hell be a key
contributor in Anaheim. Selannes role diminished slightly
last year with the Ducks, who won the Pacific Division
title before losing in the first round of the playoffs.
He had 12 goals and 12 assists in 46 games, but still
displayed his usual speed and goal-scoring acumen despite
decreases in ice time and production late in the season.
After their meeting, Selanne is confident Boudreau has an
important role for him this fall. "I never want to get
any promises, because I know a coach cant really do
that," Selanne said. "We have a great group of young guys
coming. Its a good competition here right now, and
everyone has to earn the ice time and the power play. I
know I can do it. I just need to be on the same page with
the coach, and thats what happened. Im very happy about
it." Selanne took a pay cut from last seasons $4.5
million salary for his final return to the Ducks, who
committed $135 million to cornerstone forwards Ryan
Getzlaf and Corey Perry in eight-year contract extensions
last season. Anaheim then traded goal-scoring forward
Bobby Ryan to Ottawa, but retained the core of an
exciting, up-tempo team that finally played up to its
potential in the regular season. The Ducks post-season
loss to Detroit, dropping Game 7 on home ice, only
hardened Selannes desire to return for one last shot. "I
felt, like everyone in our locker room, we have a better
team than this," Selanne said. "We have unfinished
business. We know we can do better, and thats the main
reason Im still here. We have a good team and a lot of
things going on. If we had a bad team and a bad season,
it would be easy to say, Thanks for everything, and go
on, but I feel I can do better, we can do better."
