After two years away from the NHL, Jonathan Toews is finally ready to step back on the ice.
The three-time Stanley Cup champion and future Hall of Famer, known as one of hockey’s greatest captains, will debut with the Winnipeg Jets this season on a one-year deal worth $2 million—a move that has fans buzzing with anticipation.
Toews spent 15 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks, proving himself not just as a 20-goal scorer, but as a leader capable of elevating everyone around him.
Following a hiatus for health reasons, he trained intensively in Arizona this summer with coach Boris Dorozhenko, determined to return at full strength.
For the 37-year-old, success won’t just be measured in goals or points—though matching or surpassing the 40–50 points of Winnipeg’s top scorers would certainly be a triumph.

Equally important will be his ability to mentor younger players, instill a championship mindset, and guide the Jets toward contention.
In short, Toews’ comeback isn’t just a personal milestone—it’s a chance to transform a roster hungry for the Stanley Cup, reminding the hockey world why he remains one of the game’s most respected and impactful leaders.
