In a heartfelt statement, Danny Wirtz revealed that fulfilling one of Rocky Wirtz's final wishes was a top priority.
Rocky Wirtz had expressed his deep desire to see Chris Chelios honored as the next Blackhawk to have his number retired before his passing. Today, that wish has become a reality.
This touching tribute brings solace not only to the Wirtz family but also to the entire hockey community. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact Chelios had on the Chicago Blackhawks and the lasting legacy he leaves in the hearts of fans and teammates alike.
