  Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, today, we honor the career and 
achievements of Anaheim Ducks captain, Ryan Getzlaf, and we celebrate 
his well-deserved retirement.
  Mr. Getzlaf has played his entire 17-year career in the National 
Hockey League with the Anaheim Ducks, the pride of Orange County. He is 
the team's all-time leading scorer, with over 1,000 points, across over 
1,150 games and appeared in three NHL All-Star games. He, along with 
only 13 other players in hockey history, has earned two Olympic gold 
medals and a Stanley Cup championship.
  With 12 years as Ducks captain, Mr. Getzlaf's leadership stands out 
both on the ice and in our community. He led the Ducks Learn to Play 
Program in addition to several other charitable initiatives including 
the Annual Getzlaf Shootout to raise funds to cure Duchenne muscular 
disease.
  On Sunday, April 24, 2022, Mr. Getzlafplayed his final NHL game on 
home ice, in front of a sold-out Honda Center.
  Ryan Getzlaf has cemented his legacy with the NHL and in Orange 
County. He retires as one of the mightiest Ducks of all.
