Sedins make special appearance on CBC's 'The National'
It’s not every day the Vancouver Canucks get a 10-minute feature on The National, but that’s exactly what happened Sunday evening, thanks to Henrik and Daniel Sedin.
It’s further proof that the Sedin name carries a lot of weight not only in Vancouver, but across Canada as well.
Speaking with CBC News’ Ian Hanomansing, the Sedins spoke about a number of high-level topics as they embark on their first season as Canucks co-presidents.
Having co-presidents might seem problematic if we didn’t already know so much about the Sedin twins. Somehow, for them, it just makes sense.
“Anyone who works in these positions would love someone to bounce ideas off and discuss things, and be open about solutions and questions that come up,” Henrik said. “I think it’s a dream place for both of us [to be] in this role. There’s nothing negative about it.”
“We discuss things,” Daniel said, insisting they don’t argue. “Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don’t.”
Henrik and Daniel, along with new general manager Ryan Johnson, have had a clear message since taking over. Importantly, they haven’t been afraid to embrace a rebuild.

The moves they’ve made since appear to follow that logic, so it’s no wonder that they’ve largely been applauded by the fan base. Whether they all work out in the team’s favour has yet to be determined, but it appears that, unlike the past two management regimes, this group won’t be desperately looking for shortcuts to success.
“All you can do is make sure that the process is being done the right way,” said Daniel. “Every decision is being made after collaborating and doing due diligence. If you have the right process and you do decisions the right way, I think that will set you up for success. And this organization is set up for success.”
