If you took a closer look at almost every hockey player in the NHL, you would probably hear a fascinating story of physical and mental strength and resilience. But some stories are even more captivating than others. Such is the case with one of the newest members of the Chicago Blackhawks, Jordin Tootoo.
After playing for the last two seasons with the New Jersey Devils, Tootoo recently signed a one-year deal with the ’Hawks. Naturally, I was curious as to what this 33-year-old, 12-year veteran could possibly bring to the table. Everything I read tells me he is, at best, a shabby substitute for Andrew Shaw.
