<p>There was a brief ceremony before puck drop, as Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/vancouver-canucks-sport-tyler-myers-tour-shirt-1000th-career-game">awarded Myers with a silver stick</a> on the ice with his family, with captain Quinn Hughes handing out mini silver sticks to each of his three children. Afterwards, the long-tenured Canucks (Thatcher Demko, JT Miller, Brock Boeser, Elias Pettersson and Hughes) joined his family and GM for a picture.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">To celebrate Tyler Myers&#39; 1000 games, the NHLPA, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Canucks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Canucks</a> training staff, players, and General Manager Patrik Allvin presented Tyler Myers with several gifts, including a silver stick! <a href="https://t.co/LhcCuGWoAp">pic.twitter.com/LhcCuGWoAp</a></p>

<p>During the ceremony, it was revealed that Myers would be sporting an &#8216;A&#8217; on his jersey, and Miller was not. Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet touched on what transpired before the game with Myers wearing Miller&#8217;s &#8216;A.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;Millsy went to the trainers and the trainers asked me if it was okay and I said yeah. I thought it was a great gesture by Millsy to give it to his buddy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Myers and Miller both joined the Canucks in the 2019 offseasons and have grown a close bond since.</p>
<p>&#8220;You saw the player and the message and stuff,&#8221; Tocchet continued about Myers. &#8220;He&#8217;s a well-liked guy in the room. He&#8217;s a guy that wants to play good every game and after a game, if he has a tough night, he&#8217;s the first guy the next day in the room. He&#8217;s in Footy&#8217;s [Adam Foote] office or my office. He&#8217;ll ask questions. He&#8217;s the voice of reason, too. He&#8217;s a guy that can run the room when we leave and the guys respect that. It was nice to see his family out there.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 6&#8217;8&#8243; defenceman has logged 367 games in a Canucks uniform, scoring 19 goals and 89 assists for 108 points. He&#8217;s been a crucial defenceman for the team, logging over 20 minutes per night in four of his five seasons with the club. Myers&#8217; efforts earned him a three-year, $9 million extension with the club this past offseason.</p>
