Chris Chelios was born in Evergreen Park in 1962 so he will always be one of us, but he was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2nd round of 1981.
He made the team as a 22 year old in 1983, and he was part of a Canadiens Stanley Cup winner in 1986. He would win his first Norris Trophy with the Canadiens in 1989.
Chelios would become a Chicago Blackhawk in 1990 when he was traded for Denis Savard in a huge trade for both teams. In the end it would help Savard our fan favorite to win his first Cup with the Canadiens in 1993.
