Even so, it was obvious the city still sees him as one of its own. It was his first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/hockey\">hockey<\/a> game at the United Center since signing with Winnipeg on July 1, and the reaction left no doubt about how much he still means here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"i-spent-some-special-years-here-in-chicago\">\u201cI Spent Some Special Years Here in Chicago \u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During a first-period timeout, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jonathantoews\/\">Johnathan Toews<\/a>, who spent 15 seasons with the Blackhawks, waved and tapped his chest as chants of \u201c<em>Jonny!

Winning championships and all of that stuff aside, just playing for a sports team in this city and calling this home for as long as I did was just incredible. I can\u2019t thank them enough.

However, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/johnathan-toews-taking-a-break-from-the-nhl-to-focus-on-health-issues\">series of health issues forced him to miss significant time in recent years<\/a>, with the Blackhawks confirming in 2023 that it was time for his final game with the team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defenseman <strong>Connor Murphy<\/strong> commented<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>He\u2019s the one teammate I\u2019ve ever had where you go out with him in public and people won\u2019t just say they\u2019re a \u2018big fan,.
