Chicago captain Jonathan Toews will not return to the team next year, ending a wildly successful run that included three Stanley Cup championships in 15 seasons.
General manager Kyle Davidson said Thursday that the team will not re-sign its longtime center, who turns 35 on April 29. "I think words fail to adequately summarize everything that Jonathan's done for the organization, the amazing memories that he provided," Davidson said.
Chicago hosts Philadelphia in its season finale on Thursday night. Toews won his first championship when the team beat the Flyers in the 2010 Stanley Cup Final.
Toews was selected by Chicago with the No. 3 pick in the 2006 draft, one of the first markers in the team's rise to the top of the NHL.
