Related Topics: Jonathan Toews

For more than a decade, Jonathan Toews wore the "C" on his chest and carried the weight of the Blackhawks franchise on his back. He was loved by fans in Chicago.

The 37-year-old played for the Blackhawks for 15 seasons, leading them to three Stanley Cups (2010, 2013, 2015) and was named one of the NHL's 100 Greatest Players in 2017.

Now playing for his hometown Winnipeg Jets, Toews' impact in Chicago is still felt — and is missed by many Hawks fans.

A Leader from Day One

Toews was named captain of the Blackhawks in 2008 at just 20 years old, becoming one of the youngest captains in NHL history.
