Earlier this year, Chicago Blackhawks color analyst and former player Eddie Olczyk was diagnosed with colon cancer. The disease forced him to take absence from the broadcasting booth, which is still ongoing due to his treatments.
However, he made a heartwarming visit Saturday night during the Blackhawks’ game versus the Columbus Blue Jackets at the United Center.
It was great to see Eddie O’ back where he belongs: right alongside TV play-by-play announcer Pat Foley. Olczyk attended Saturday’s 5-1 win, where he was appraised with a standing ovation, and a special TV appearance. You can watch it below.
