I guess you can go home after spending a whirl wind season in the NHL. That is exactly what Former Sioux and current Chicago Blackhawk Jonathan Toews is going to do.
After a season in the spotlight, hometown hockey star Jonathan Toews is happy to return to Winnipeg for the summer -- even if it means moving back in with his folks.
"My mom always loves it when we come home," said Toews, who's just finished up his rookie season as a centre with the Chicaco Blackhawks. "Obviously, she misses us all year."
Toews arrived in Winnipeg on Monday for the first time since September, after competing with Team Canada in the IIHF World Hockey Championship in Quebec and Halifax.
"It's nice to be back home, and things have definitely changed for me around here," he said. "It's always one of those things you take in stride and enjoy."
Toews hopes to spend much of his summer in the city, catching up with friends and preparing for training. But it's not all rest and relaxation.
He'll also speak at an announcement this morning for the St. Boniface Hospital & Research Foundation's La Soirée Chocolatée Auction, a fundraiser chaired by his mother, Andrée Gilbert.
