Longtime captain Jonathan Toews is saying goodbye to Blackhawks fans and the city of Chicago, with the franchise icon penning a heartfelt Instagram post on Thursday.
Toews began his lengthy tribute by thanking Blackhawks fans and describing "feeling a true connection to the people of this city" of Chicago.
It’s hard to find words to describe the 16-year journey that has made this city my home.
Aside from the 3 Stanley Cups, the parades, and the countless memories made with my teammates, what is still most special to me was feeling a true connection to the people of this city.
