Three-time Stanley Cup champion Toews retires
Jonathan Toews, a three-time Stanley Cup champion and a two-time Olympic gold medallist with Canada, announced his retirement from the NHL on Friday.
Toews, 38, captained the Chicago Blackhawks to Stanley Cup titles in 2010, 2013 and 2015 in a stellar 15-year tenure with the team.
He returned to the NHL last season after a two-year absence connected to chronic immune response syndrome and long Covid, scoring 11 goals and delivering 18 assists in 82 games for his hometown team the Winnipeg Jets.
"I have to say I'm satisfied, I'm fulfilled," Toews said in announcing his retirement in Winnipeg on Friday. "I'm so thankful and grateful for the career I had."
The Blackhawks congratulated Toews on a "remarkable career" in a post on X that called him the "heartbeat" of the teams he led.
Toews also starred for Canada, winning Olympic gold in 2010 and 2014, a world title in 2007 and the World Cup in 2016.
He finished his 16-season NHL career with 383 goals and 529 assists in 1,149 regular season games for the Blackhawks and Jets.
Winner of the 2010 Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of the Stanley Cup playoffs, he scored 45 goals with 74 assists in 137 career NHL playoff games.
