posted the message on Instagram alongside a video with career highlightsBlackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson announced prior to the team's final game last season that Toews, 35, would not be re-signed.It’s hard to find words to describe the 16-year journey that has made this city my home.
To Blackhawks fans, it was surreal to witness and be a part of the revival of hockey in Chicago. There was nothing like the roar of the Madhouse when we scored a big goal to tie it or win it late in a game. As players, we tried to reciprocate that heart and soul energy we felt from you. I honestly believe it’s what made us so tough to beat in the later games of a playoff series. You are the best fans in the world, and I’m so thankful we shared so many special moments together.
To my Blackhawks teammates, I consider you all lifelong friends and brothers. We share a bond that’s hard to break. Whether you reach the mountain top or not, we can all agree it’s grinding through the tough moments together that we’ll really miss.Toews was limited to 53 games last season as he missed significant periods of time due to the effects of long COVID and chronic immune response syndrome. He recorded 15 goals and 16 assists.
