The New Jersey Devils honored defenseman Brenden Dillon for reaching the 1,000-game threshold with a pregame ceremony on Wednesday at Prudential Center.
Dillon’s wife, Emma, narrated the video tribute that was played during the ceremony.
“You’ve worked for everything you’ve gotten,” she said in the video. “To be where you are and accomplish what you have. I’m forever in awe of the dedication and commitment that you display in every facet of your life. From the locker room to our living room, you make people light up around you.
“1,000 incredible moments. 1,000 times cheering for our guy. And we’d do it 1,000 times over.”
After the video, Emma joined Brenden on the ice with their young daughters, Elowen and Elton, as well as Brenden’s parents, Edward and Debbie.
