The Chicago Blackhawks have been making amends with their alumni since Rocky Wirtz took over the organization back in 2007. Many former great players left the Blackhawks organization with a bad taste in their mouths from the previous regime, run by Wirtz’s now-deceased father.
The Blackhawks have been trying to repair bridges by giving some of their former greats “One More Shift.” Thus far, the Blackhawks have honored Denis Savard, Steve Larmer and Jeremy Roenick.
Tonight they will honor Ed Belfour, aka “The Eagle,” with “One More Shift.” Belfour was signed as an undrafted free agent goaltender by the Blackhawks in 1988.
