Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman participated in a video reveal that the forward was selected for the upcoming game, which resonated with Dallas Cowboys fan Chuck Terry.
“Just to be recognized by someone that my dad idolized,” Terry said on Friday morning. “Obviously I idolized too. My age … grew up more with the Tony Romo age. Troy Aikman, his career and who he is as a person, is a pretty big deal to me. For my dad, it was a pretty special moment for him to have his son recognized.”
Aikman, now an ESPN analyst, broke some news too, congratulating Terry and his wife Dani, who are going to be parents and are expecting a boy. Ducks icon and Hall of Famer Teemu Selanne, a father of four, promptly tweeted his congratulations to Terry on the professional and personal news. “Troy Aikman mentioned my wife by name,” Terry said. “That was pretty cool for her. Teemu means a lot to me and this organization. It shows you the magnitude of being a father, which makes me excited. The due date is in May. I kind of had to get over the nervous part at first. I’m sure that will come again when it gets really close.”
Terry has built upon last season’s breakthrough performance with a strong first half despite the Ducks’ struggles. Heading into Friday night’s game against San Jose, he has 32 points in 39 games. “Troy’s breakthrough came last year,” Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. “They all come at different times for different players. He’s been our best player this year. He’s our best skater on a nightly basis. There’s no question about that. That is all on him. He knows what he means to the team. He sees what he wants to be as a player and he’s not going to stop striving to get that.”“I felt this was the player I always thought I could be,” he said.
