Selänne was originally drafted into the NHL by the [[Winnipeg Jets]] in the 1st round, 10th overall in the [[1988 NHL Entry Draft]]. ==Playing career== ===Jokerit (1988-92)=== Selänne (who has a twin brother, Paavo) played his early seasons in [[Jokerit]] at the [[Finland|Finnish]] [[SM-liiga]]. Selänne won the A-Junior level Finnish Championship in 1988 with Jokerit. The team consisted from future SM-liiga players such as [[Markus Ketterer]], [[Keijo Säilynoja]] and [[Mika Strömberg]]. After two seasons in the junior team of Jokerit, Selänne played his first season for Jokerit during 1988-89 season when Jokerit played in the Finnish [[Mestis|1. Divisioona]]. Jokerit gained promotion to SM-liiga in 1989 and Selänne had 11 games with 12 points on his debut SM-liiga season. Selänne had his first full season for Jokerit on the following season when Selänne racked 58 points in 44 games. During the 1991-92 SM-liiga season, Jokerit won the SM-liiga championship and Selänne won [[Aarne Honkavaara trophy]] (top goalscorer) and had the most points scored in the SM-liiga playoffs during that season. ===Winnipeg Jets (1989-94)=== Teemu Selänne was selected by the [[Winnipeg Jets]] 10th overall in the [[1988 NHL Entry Draft]] and was contracted by Jets for [[1992-93 NHL season]]. He scored 76 goals in [[1992–93 NHL season|his rookie season]], an all-time [[rookie]] record. He is also the holder of the rookie point scoring record with 132 points, and he is the most recent player in NHL history to score 70 goals in a season.<ref>[http://couchpotatohockey.com/Records/Reg_Season_Ind_Records/Scoring_by_Rookie.asp NHL Regular Season Records-Scoring by a Rookie<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Following his rookie season, Jets players [[Keith Tkachuk]] and [[Alexei Zhamnov]] formed a line known as "The [[Winter Olympics|Olympic]] Line," as all three were Olympians. This was notable in that it was prior to the NHL signing an agreement with the [[IIHF]], providing for a break to allow select players to compete for their respective countries in the quadrennial Olympic Tournament. Selänne suffered a torn Achilles tendon in [[1993–94 NHL season|his second season]], limiting him to 51 games. The Jets had suffered a six-game quarterfinal loss to the [[Vancouver Canucks]] in 1993; and with Selänne injured, missed the 1994 playoffs. ===Jokerit (1994-95)=== Along with fellow Finnish NHL-star [[Jari Kurri]], Selänne played for [[Jokerit]] during the [[1994-95 NHL lockout]]. Selänne scored 7 goals and assisted 12 others in 20 games for Jokerit. Selänne was part of Jokerit when the team won the [[IIHF European Champions Cup|1995 European Cup]]. ===Winnipeg Jets (1995-96)=== After the lockout, Selänne returned to Winnipeg Jets and played the remainder of [[1994-95 NHL season|1994-95 season]] and started the [[1995-96 NHL season|1995-96 season]] with Jets. On [[February 7]], [[1995–96 NHL season|1996]], he was traded, along with [[Marc Chouinard]] and a fourth-round [[draft pick]], to the [[Anaheim Ducks|Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]]<ref>[http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8457981 NHL.com - Players<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> in return for [[Chad Kilger]], [[Oleg Tverdovsky]], and a third-round pick. This is viewed as one of the worst trades in NHL history. The trade was one in a series of moves made by the [[Jet]]s as a result of the team's financial difficulties.{{Fact|date=November 2007}} Selänne however was first angered at the Jets management for trading him, but it all subsided when he learned of the situation in Anaheim.<ref>Campbell, Tim. "Selanne Glad to Miss Wake." ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 26 March 1996.</ref> ===Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (1996-01)=== In Anaheim, Selänne teamed up with [[Paul Kariya]] to form one of the most potent scoring duos in the NHL and also picked a nomination for the [[Lady Byng Trophy]], losing to [[Joe Sakic]].{{Fact|date=November 2007}} Selänne won the NHL goalscoring titles in [[1997-98 NHL season|1998]] and [[1998-99 NHL season|1999]]. On [[March 5]], [[2000–01 NHL season|2001]], Selänne was again traded, this time to the [[San Jose Sharks]] for [[Jeff Friesen]], [[Steve Shields (hockey player)|Steve Shields]], and a second-round draft pick. ===San Jose Sharks (2001-03)=== Selänne was involved in controversy with the Sharks in [[2002–03 NHL season|2002–03]]. On the other side of the [[United States]], [[New Jersey Devils|New Jersey Devil]] [[Scott Gomez]] was struggling under the iron rule of Devils coach [[Pat Burns]]. Gomez and Selänne were almost swapped in a multi-player trade, but at the 11th hour Selänne vetoed being sent to New Jersey.<ref>"Selanne Denies Report That He Might Request Trade." ''San Jose Mercury News'', 3 March 2003.</ref> {{Fact|date=November 2007}} Selänne suffered a slight drop of performance during his time with the Sharks but he still managed to score 54 and 64 points during his two full season with the Sharks. ===Colorado Avalanche (2003-04)=== After two full seasons in San Jose, Selänne signed with the [[Colorado Avalanche]] as a [[free agent]] on [[July 3]], [[2003]] (his 33rd birthday) where he was again joined by Kariya. After a season ([[2003–04 NHL season|2003–04]]) in Colorado that saw his production decline, overall, Selänne's time in Colorado was considered a disappointment since he didn't manage to gain a steady form with Paul Kariya as he was expected in. ===Jokerit (2004-05)=== Selänne underwent knee surgery during the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]] and signed with [[Jokerit]] in the Finnish National League. He was unable to play any games, because rehabilitation took longer than expected. ===Anaheim Ducks (2005-08)=== Selänne rejoined the Mighty Ducks signing a one year contract on [[August 22]], [[2005]]. With his knee rehabilitated, Selänne led the Mighty Ducks in scoring in [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06]] despite playing without former teammate and scoring counterpart [[Paul Kariya]]. Selänne's statistical tally this season registered 40 goals and 50 assists for 90 points in 80 games. Selänne recorded his 1,000th NHL point on [[January 30]], [[2006]] with his second goal against the [[Los Angeles Kings]], becoming the 70th player, as well as the seventh European player, to achieve the milestone.{{Fact|date=November 2007}} Selänne was back amongst the NHL's elite players after the 2005–06 NHL season, when he was awarded the [[Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy]], which recognizes perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to [[hockey]], designating Selänne as the comeback player of the year. Selänne received a one-year, $3.75-million contract extension for the 2006–2007 season with the newly renamed [[Anaheim Ducks]], after deciding to continue his NHL career. He also changed his jersey number from #13 back to #8 for 2006–2007 season, the number he'd worn during his first stint with the Ducks franchise several years earlier.{{Fact|date=November 2007}} Selänne scored his 500th NHL career goal against the [[Colorado Avalanche]] after getting by former Avalanche teammate and captain [[Joe Sakic]] to find the net against Colorado's [[Jose Theodore]]. Selänne joined fellow countryman [[Jari Kurri]] as the only Finnish-born players to have scored 500 goals in their NHL careers. On [[November 26]], [[2006]] in a game against the [[Calgary Flames]], Selänne scored his 600th point as a Duck. Selänne played in his 1,000th NHL game on [[December 31]], [[2006]] against the [[Minnesota Wild]].<ref>[http://www.anaheimducks.com/press/release/article.php?dir=200612&id=1550]</ref> On [[February 7]], [[2007]], in a game against the San Jose Sharks, Selänne scored his 524th career goal to move into a tie with [[Bryan Trottier]] for 27th on the NHL's all-time list. The "Finnish Flash" moved past Trottier with a first period goal against the Coyotes in Phoenix on [[February 15]], [[2007]] with his father, Ilmari, in attendance (the fathers of 18 Anaheim players and one of the player's father-in-law were at the game as part of a team-building experience). [[Image:Teemu-turn.jpg|thumb|left|Selänne during a pre-game warm-up on [[April 17]], [[2007]].]]On [[January 10]], [[2007]], Selänne heard grave news from a seriously ill friend. "Today he found out that the cancer has spread to his brain," Selänne said. "I don't think he has much time to live. So I told him if I scored a [[hat trick]] I'd keep the [[puck]]. I told him the odds weren't very good that it would happen. Obviously it was really a sad day today, but what are you going to do? Life is not fair sometimes." The next day against the [[Dallas Stars]], Teemu went on to score three [[Goal (ice hockey)|goals]], his 19th hat trick, the previous one coming six years before. Anaheim won the game, 5–1. Selänne tied the Anaheim franchise record for goals (previously held by Paul Kariya) with his 300th in a Ducks jersey on [[February 17]], [[2007]] when he flipped a second-period power-play goal past Mathieu Garon in a game against the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center. One night later, Selänne took sole possession of the franchise record, scoring his 301st goal with Anaheim with a power-play goal at [[Honda Center]] in Anaheim in the second consecutive game against the Kings. With two goals against the Vancouver Canucks on [[March 11]], [[2007]], Selänne became the first player over the age of 35 to record consecutive 40-goal seasons. The two goals, both on the power-play, moved Selänne into a tie with [[Hockey Hall of Fame|Hall of Famer]] [[Frank Mahovlich]] on the NHL's all-time goal-scoring list at 533, the 26th highest total in the league's history. Finally, they gave him 107 power-play goals in a Ducks uniform, moving him into a tie for the franchise record with Kariya. Selänne removed his former linemate from the record book with a power-play goal in a victory against the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] on [[March 16]], taking over sole possession on the Anaheim franchise record. Selänne's two-goal effort against Chicago also moved him past Mahovlich, for sole possession of 26th place on the NHL's all-time goal-scoring list. Selänne completed the 2006–2007 NHL regular season with 48 goals (third best in the league) and became the first player in NHL history over the age of 35 to record consecutive seasons with 40-plus goals. He also led the NHL with 25 power-play goals, tying the Anaheim club record that he set in 1998–1999. His 10 game-winning goals tied him for the most in that category this season. With an assist on a goal by Francois Beauchemin in Game 2 of the Ducks opening round playoff series against the Minnesota Wild on [[April 13]], [[2007]], Selänne picked up his 30th playoff point in an Anaheim jersey – establishing a new franchise record. The Ducks would go on to defeat the Ottawa Senators in 5 games in the Stanley Cup Finals, giving the team and Selänne their first [[Stanley Cup]] championship. Selänne considered retirement after he and the Ducks had won the Stanley cup in 2007. However, he did not announce his retirement, and in December he told a Finnish tabloid [[Iltalehti]] that he will announce his decision in January 2008.<ref>[http://www.iltalehti.fi/jaakiekko/200712046934619_jk.shtml] {{fi}}</ref> On 28th of January, Selänne signed a one-year contract with the Ducks for the remainder of the 2007–08 NHL season.<ref>[http://ducks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=351531 10-Time All-Star Teemu Selanne to Rejoin Ducks]</ref> On the 12th of February, he tied Paul Kariya for most points in franchise history after scoring a goal against the [[Colorado Avalanche]]. On the 17th of February, he passed Paul Kariya when he scored his 670th point over the [[Calgary Flames]].<ref>[http://ducks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=Recap&seas=20072008&gtype=2&gnum=897 Anaheim Ducks - Recap: Calgary @ Anaheim - 02/17/2008:]</ref> On February 24th Selänne earned his 20th career hat trick against the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] increasing his career goals total to 546, placing him 25th on the all-time list, bypassing his idol [[Maurice Richard|Maurice 'Rocket' Richard]]. He was named the NHL's "First Star of the Week" for the week ending February 24th. The game also gave him his 600th career assist.<ref>[http://ducks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=354744 Anaheim Ducks - News: Selanne Named NHL's First Star of the Week - 02/25/2008<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ===Free Agency (2008)=== Currently Teemu Selänne is an Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA). During [[June]] [[2008]], Selänne was reported to have been in talks with [[Jokerit]] General Manager [[Keijo Säilynoja]] while Selänne was visiting Finland in [[Vuokatti]] ==International== Together with [[Saku Koivu]] and [[Jere Lehtinen]], Selänne formed the backbone of [[Finnish national men's ice hockey team|Team Finland]] during his reign. Selänne has had various injuries, mostly with his knee, and couldn't have participated in World Championship campaigns even though his team didn't qualify for or was knocked out in the early rounds of NHL playoffs. Selänne was paired up with Koivu from [[Ice hockey at the 1998 Winter Olympics|1998 Nagano Olympics]] on and thanks to their great chemistry they were the [[Ice hockey at the 1998 Winter Olympics#Leading scorers|tournament's joint top scorer]]. Finland managed to beat Team Canada in the bronze medal game 3-to-2, thus winning bronze. Selänne sat out the game after he got injured in the semifinal game against Russia. Selänne did not make a World Championship appearance until he was 28 years of age in [[1999 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships|1999]], and was again paired with Koivu. The two put up great numbers but it wasn't enough and Finland was beaten by the Czechs in the final games. TV cameras captured Teemu's great disappointment after the Czech Republic had won the second match in over-time. He finished second in scoring, 5 points behind Koivu. Both were elected to the Tournament All-Star lineup and Selänne also received the tournament's best player -award. Selänne's next duty came in 2002 when [[Ice hockey at the 2002 Winter Olympics|Winter Olympics]] took place in [[Salt Lake City, Utah|Salt Lake City]] USA. Due to absence of Koivu, who was battling against cancer at the time, Selänne was named the captain of Team Finland but was unable to carry the team to a great success. The team was crushed by Team USA in the first match but they made it to the medal round, only to get knocked out by the eventual gold medalists, Team Canada. This left Finland in the sixth place. A year later the [[2003 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships|World Championships of Ice hockey]] were held in Finland and as the Sharks failed to qualify for playoffs Selänne saw his opportunity to help Finland. The tournament took place in Finland but together with Koivu he was unable to bring home a medal, clinching a 5th spot. Selänne's only [[2004 World Cup of Hockey|World Cup of Hockey]] opportunity came in 2004 but earlier the season he had complained about his knee and this showed in his game. He tallied only 4 points in six games, although he had been a dominant force in his previous campaigns with Team Finland. However, other members of the team stepped up and Finland was given the silver medal, losing to Team Canada in the final 3-to-2. Year 2006 came around and it was an Olympic year. [[Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics|The Olympics]] were held in [[Torino]] and Selänne was in great shape since his knee had been fixed during the [[2004–05 NHL lockout|NHL lockout]]. As previously, Selänne was paired up with Koivu and Lehtinen. Team Finland steamrolled over every opponent in group stage putting up a magnificent 19–2 goal difference. Selänne's big numbers in group stage didn't help Finland in the end and Finland came up short against Sweden in the final game. Selänne's contribution showed in the statistics sheet as he was once again the [[Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics#Leading scorers|joint top scorer]] with Koivu and also tied for most goals with fellow Finn [[Olli Jokinen]]. Selänne and Koivu were named in the Tournament All-Star lineup and Selänne was elected the best forward in the tournament. Selänne's natural goal scoring instincts carried Finland through several tournaments. His big numbers in international games tell you without the help of Selänne, Finland couldn't have gone deep in tournaments. However, most of Selänne's goals were assisted by the playmaker Koivu and likewise. In summer of 2007, Selänne announced his retirement from Finnish national team play stating that there is room for only one [[Raimo Helminen|"Raipe"]]. It was announced that Teemu Selänne had said "yes" to [[Doug Shedden|Doug Shedden's]] invitation to join the Finnish National team for the 2008 Ice Hockey World Championship tournament, therefore coming out from his International Retirement. <ref>[http://www.jatkoaika.com/maajoukkue.php?sivu=uutiset&id=8328 Selänne says "yes" (article in Finnish)], [[Jatkoaika.com]], [[April 30]], [[2008]], accessed [[April 30]], [[2008]].</ref> After the 2008 Championship tournament, Selänne announced that he will re-retire from international competition. <ref>[http://www.jatkoaika.com/nhl.php?sivu=uutiset&id=8410 Selänne retires from National Team (article in Finnish)], [[Jatkoaika.com]], [[May 18]], [[2008]], accessed [[July 4]], [[2008]].</ref> Selänne appeared a total of 124 National Team games during his time for the National Team. ==Personal== Selänne married Sirpa Vuorin on [[July 19]], [[1996]]. They have four children: sons Eemil, Eetu and Leevi, and a daughter Veera Johanna (b. [[December 5]], [[2007]]). They are residents of [[Coto de Caza]], [[California]], a gated community in southern [[Orange County, California|Orange County]]. Selänne is known as an avid car collector (he's one of the few people that own an [[Enzo Ferrari (car)|Enzo Ferrari]]), golfer and auto racing fan. He has even entered [[World Rally Championship|WRC]] [[Rallying|rally]] events in his home country of Finland.
