MAJOR | Official Statement from the BlackHawks confirming Jonathan Toews' fate
Jonathan Toews has been dealing with a lot of health problems as of late and lots of reports stated that the Hawks' captain was heavily leaning towards retirement.
Kyle Davidson, the BlackHawks GM, emitted a statement earlier today confirming that Toews would be taking part in his last game as a Hawk. While Toews hasn't confirmed that he would retire, it was confirmed that he wouldn't be playing for Chicago moving forward:
His teammate for most of his time in Chicago, Patrick Kane also commented on the news:
Toews will have been a major part of the Hawks for the last 16 years, playing in 1066 regular season games, and managing 882 points. He led the team to nothing less than 3 Stanley Cups winning one Conn Smyth (Playoff MVP) along the way. It's only a matter of time before they hang his number to the ceiling.
Toews has not yet confirmed whether he wanted or not to continue playing. It's a safe bet to assume that there will be takers for his services.
