Ducks to honor Selanne, Kariya in pregame ceremony Nov. 19

Teemu Selanne and Paul Kariya are getting the respect they deserve.

The Anaheim Ducks will honor one of the most dynamic duos the NHL has ever seen in a ceremony before their Nov. 19 game against the Florida Panthers, the team announced Tuesday. The ceremony will fall less than a week after the tandem's induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Nov. 13.

Selanne and Kariya played in 308 games together for the Ducks back when they were Mighty, tallying a combined 783 points (2.54 points per game).

Selanne's No. 8 already hangs in the Honda Center rafters. He's the franchise's all-time leader in games played (966), goals (457), and points (988), and was an integral part of the organization's only Stanley Cup victory back in 2007.

Kariya, who was the first superstar in the club's existence, ranks first in team history in goals per game (0.49) and points per game (1.10).
