Chicago Blackhawks Legends Jersey Will Officially Be Getting Retired

In a touching tribute, Corey Crawford's No. 29 jersey has found its place in history as the first retired jersey for the Moncton Wildcats, just in time for last night's CHL game.

As a goaltending legend, Crawford left an indelible mark with the Chicago Blackhawks, achieving the milestone of becoming the eighth goalie to secure 100 wins for the team. His iconic No. 29 jersey now holds a permanent spot in the annals of Moncton Wildcats' history.


Reflecting on Crawford's remarkable career, the 2011-12 season stands out when he became the first Chicago goalie to secure two consecutive seasons with 30 or more wins since Ed Belfour in 1992-94. His 33 wins in the 2010-11 season marked a significant achievement, standing as the most by a Blackhawks goalie since Jocelyn Thibault's 33 wins in 2001-02.


The CHL game served as an extra special moment, with the retirement of Corey Crawford's No. 29 jersey. It's a heartfelt way for both fans and players to pay homage to his extraordinary career with the Chicago Blackhawks, ensuring that his legacy echoes through the corridors of the Moncton Wildcats' arena.
