Jonathan Toews: The Return

The Canadian hockey star is returning to the NHL rink after a two-year hiatus.

Pierre LeBrun, a hockey reporter for Canadian media TSN, reported on the X-message service that Jonathan Toews is returning to the NHL.

According to LeBrun, Canada’s experienced 37-year-old center forward has signed a one-year contract with the Winnipeg Jets.

Winnipeg is Toews’ hometown.

Toews has been suffering from coronavirus and chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIRS) for the past few years. It is a condition in which the body’s immune system overreacts to toxic substances in the environment.

Now the experienced player is trying to make a comeback.

The three-time Stanley Cup winner has also been awarded the Selke Award for best defensive forward and the Conn Smythe Award for most valuable player in the playoffs.

Toews has played 1204 games in his career in the NBA and scored 417+585=1002 points.
