Origin
and identity

Teemu Selanne's spectacular rookie season opened a career that made him a defining Finnish hockey figure.

Winnipeg's wait for Selanne proved worthwhile. When he finally arrived in 1992, he scored seventy-six goals in his first NHL season, combining acceleration and finishing in an introduction that immediately made him a star.

Anaheim became the other great setting of his NHL story, first through his partnership with Paul Kariya and later through a Stanley Cup. His international career extended across six Olympic appearances and made his influence unmistakably Finnish.
