The best free agent signing in Chicago sports history is going to be back with the Chicago Blackhawks for the official end of his career.
On Tuesday morning, the team announced that Marian Hossa will sign a one-day contract on Thursday and then officially retire from the NHL.
The signing will happen at 6:15 p.m. in the United Center atrium prior to Chicago’s 7:30 game against the Seattle Kraken.
Hossa was in town on Sunday night to celebrate Jonathan Toews’ reaching the 1,000-game milestone.
Hossa played 1,309 regular-season games (534 with Chicago) over 19 NHL seasons, racking up 525 goals and 609 assists for 1,134 career points — 59th all-time.
