Legend Marian Hossa will officially retire from the Chicago Blackhawks.
On Thursday, April 7th, prior to the Blackhawks' game against the Seattle Kraken, the three-time Stanley Cup winner will sign a one-day contract with the organization.
The Blackhawks and city of Chicago hold a special place in my heart. Making the commitment to this organization in 2009 was the best decision I ever made,"
"For all the memories my teammates and I made together, including three Stanley Cup wins, my family created just as many off the ice. The fans embraced us as one of their own, treating us so kindly wherever we went. Retiring as a Blackhawk is a dream come true and I couldn't imagine officially ending my career in any other way. I would like to thank the Wirtz family for making this a reality and for all they have done for me since I signed with the team."
