called for a local hero — and who better to introduce the honorees than Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid. “The LeBron of hockey,” as Junos host Simu Liu called the athlete, is currently regarded as the NHL’s best player. In Edmonton, not far from the tiny town of Hanna, Alberta , the rock band is equally respected. To wit: an introduction by Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds in an 11-minute video chronicling their start as a cover band to global rock act with sales of over 50 million albums.
Nickelback, known for such ubiquitous hits as “How You Remind Me,” “Photograph,” “Someday” and “Rockstar” — which have amassed over 10 billion collective streams — released its 10th studio album, “Get Rollin’,” back in November. “Before we say anything, how badass is it to be in Edmonton and have the best hockey player in the world right now give that award to us?” said singer-guitarist Chad Kroeger as soon as he got on the Juno stage with his brother, bassist Mike Kroeger; guitarist Ryan Peake; drummer Daniel Adair and previous drummer Ryan Vikedal.
The frontman started by thanking his parents “for giving birth to half the band,” then moved on to the key industry players and members of their team who helped Nickelback go from their early days with 1996’s “Hesher” EP and subsequent albums “Curb,” “The State” and “Silver Side Up” to the 11th best-selling music act of all time. The others guys then got a chance to thank their parents, wives and kids.
