Stan Smyl (born January 28, 1958 in Glendon, Alberta, Canada) was a member of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks for his entire career, until he retired in 1991. His number 12 remains the only officially retired number in Canucks' history (Wayne Maki's number 11 is unofficially retired), and it currently hangs from the rafters of General Motors Place in Vancouver (although the banner was initially raised in the Canucks' old facility, the Pacific Coliseum).
