Former NHLer and current hockey analyst Kevin Bieksa told some pretty interesting stories about how Daniel and Henrik Sedin used to play tricks using their similar looks.
Bieksa played with the �Sedin Twins' from 2005 to 2015 on the Vancouver Canucks until he was traded to the Anaheim Ducks. The former NHL defenseman is now an analyst with Sportsnet and appears regularly on their Hockey Night in Canada segments and a majority of intermission reports.
Both Henrik and Daniel were insanely talented players, hence why they're being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame this year, but Bieksa revealed they were quite the tricksters too.
As per @nhlbreakers on Instagram:
Daniel & Henrik Sedin used to switch jerseys occasionally «just for fun», which started from their days playing minor hockey in Sweden. 👀
Kevin Bieksa told the story of the two brothers revealing to him that they would randomly switch jerseys before pre-season games, all-star games and �probably more'.
The twins would also perform some more trickery at the faceoff dot. If one brother got kicked out, he would circle back, talk to the other, then go right back to the circle making the linesman think they had changed positions
