He's switching to number 9 tomorrow against Dallas, continuing the uniquely Anaheim initiation ritual for young players (following the likes of Getzlaf, Perry, Penner and Ryan Carter). The last Ducks player to wear #9? Paul Kariya.
About J.P.
J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
