Turns out you can go home again. Jonathan Toews has decided to sign a one-year contract with his hometown Jets, once the National Hockey League's free-agent signing period begins July 1:
Toews, 37, is attempting a comeback after retiring in August 2023, due to complications from long COVID and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, which left him stiff and fatigued. The three-time Stanley Cup champion has 372 career goals and 511 assists in 1,067 games, and 119 points in 137 playoff games over 10 postseasons.
Here's hoping it works out for him. That would be a great story to follow this upcoming season.
