After taking a two-season hiatus, Jonathan Toews came back for a farewell run with the Winnipeg Jets last season.
The 38-year-old center played in all 82 games, recording 11 goals and 29 points while averaging 14:29 minutes of ice time per game.

“I expect Jonathan Toews will officially announce his retirement tomorrow. Hand in hand with the @NHLJets. What a career. 👏,” TSN’s Darren Dreger posted on X.

Toews spent 15 of his 16 NHL seasons with the Blackhawks, totaling 372 goals and 883 points across 1,067 games. He ranks fifth in Blackhawks history in games played, and sixth in goals and points.
If Toews is, in fact, done, it puts an exclamation point on a future Hall of Fame career.
Toews’ resume is as strong as any. He’s won three Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe Trophy, A Selke Trophy, a Mark Messier Leadership Award, and he was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players.
He also won gold medals for Team Canada at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup (two), the World Junior Championship (two), the Ice Hockey World Championship, the Olympics (two), and the World Cup of Hockey.
Toews retires holding two NHL records — fewest games to make captain (64) and youngest captain to win a Conn Smythe (22 years, 41 days) — and multiple Blackhawks records including most career overtime goals (16), most career shootout goals (52), most single-season shootout goals (eight), and most single-season playoff points (29).
