Chicago Blackhawks: John Tonelli Days Until Banner Raising
We had so much fun doing our Countdown to Faceoff series last season that we decided to do it again. In case you’re new to the series, we’ll do a roster preview as we count down the days until the Chicago Blackhawks raise their 6th Stanley Cup Banner on October 7th season opener against the New York Rangers.
We have finally after almost a week ran into a Chicago Blackhawks jersey number that has been worn for our Countdown to the 6th banner raising in Chicago Blackhawks history.
The #72 has been worn once in Chicago Blackhawks history and it wasn’t for an extended period of time. John Tonelli was signed by the Chicago Blackhawks as a free agent in the summer of 1991.
