Chris Chelios plans to remain a restauranteur in Detroit, keep ties with the Red Wings, but above all, be a family man.
In an interview with the Free Press, Chelios delved further into his decision to leave his position as ambassador with the Wings to return to his native Chicago, where he’ll assume a similar role with the Blackhawks. That is, when he’s not busy chauffeuring around his mom, Sue. Chelios, 56, joined the Red Wings in 1999, hopping from one Original Six to another, switching allegiances within the Central Division. The trade turned into some of the best years of his life.
