Ryan Getzlaf is one of the more familiar faces on the Ducks. He has spent his entire NHL career with the organization and is the current Team Captain. Born in Regina, Canada in 1985, the all-star center has had a dazzling career thus far. He has made two appearances in the Winter Olympic Games, both of which he ended up bringing home two gold medals for Canada in 2010 and 2014. Those two gold medals are not his only championships, however. He was part of the Ducks' Stanley Cup Championship team in 2007 and has made two NHL All-Star Game appearances, and set numerous records for the franchise. Off the ice, Getzlaf is very involved in giving back to his community with his wife and three children. Every fall, he hosts his annual Getzlaf Golf Shootout that supports the CureDuchenne charity and he also sends underprivileged kids to some of his games through his program with the Calgary Hitmen called "Getzlaf's Gamers".
