Encinitas, CA – World renown and legendary hockey player Teemu Selanne has teamed up with TLD and Road 2 Recovery to announce exciting news for Hockey and moto fans alike.

Teemu broke into the NHL by scoring 76 goals in his rookie season in 1992-93 earning him the still standing record for most goals by a rookie. He was then awarded the Calder Memorial Trophy as the top first-year player in the NHL. From there Teemu has created a very successful career with the Winnipeg Jets and Anaheim Duck earning him the most liked player in the history of both teams. He has scored 50 goals in a season three times and topped 100 points on four separate occasions. Teemu played in 10 NHL All-Star games and won the inaugural Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy in 1998-99 as the league’s leading goal scorer. His Anaheim Duck jersey is the first and only to be hung from the roof at the Honda Center.
