Mats Johan Sundin is a professional hockey player with the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League. Sundin has also played with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Quebec Nordiques during his career. Sundin was the captain of the Maple Leafs between 1997 and 2008, and was the last player to wear the captain's patch for the Maple Leafs. When Sundin took a sabbatical from NHL hockey at the conclusion of the 2007-2008, he gave up the captaincy. The Maple Leafs have yet to appoint a new captain. At the time of his departure, Sundin was the longest-serving European-born captain in NHL history.
