The Anaheim Ducks signed captain Ryan Getzlaf to an eight-year contract extension that locks him up through the 2020-21 season.

The deal, worth a reported $66 million, will have an average cap hit of $8.25 million per year for the Ducks.

"This is a wonderful day for my family, as Anaheim has become our home," Getzlaf said on the team's website. "The fans here have treated me very well, and I look forward to being part of a winning hockey team and contributing to the Orange County community for years to come."

Getzlaf, who is in the final year of a five-year, $26.625 million contract, has nine goals and 27 points in 22 games this season.

"We are very happy to have Ryan committed to this franchise long-term," Ducks general manager Bob Murray said. "He has often expressed his interest to stay in Anaheim for his entire career, a goal we share."

In 534 career NHL games, all with the Ducks, the 27-year-old native of Regina has 146 goals and 499 points.
