Blackhawks retire Marian Hossa's number 81

Prior to Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Chicago Blackhawks retired the jersey number of three-time Stanley Cup champion, Marian Hossa.

Hossa, 43, spent eight seasons in Chicago where he appeared in 534 regular season games. During his time with the Blackhawks, Hossa tallied 415 points (186 goals, 229 assists), helping them win the Stanley Cup in 2010, 2013 and 2015.

Congratulations to Marian on this incredible honour and becoming only the second Slovak-born player to have their jersey number retired, the first being Blackhawks legend Stan Mikita.

Marian Hossa is the latest player to get his number raised at the United Center. 🤩
