Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews hadn't spoken with media since before the NHL pause went into effect on March 12 amid concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The center appeared on NBC's Today Show Thursday morning to give a special birthday message to a fan. He also donated $100,000 through his foundation to a COVID-19 response fund on Thursday.
Toews appeared on Friday's episode of the Dropping the Gloves podcast hosted by former Hawk John Scott.
He was asked a variety of questions by Scott during the interview that lasted the entire episode, spanning almost 30 minutes.
