The Blackhawks’ new wave of jersey retirements will continue this season when former defenseman Chris Chelios watches his No. 7 raised to the United Center rafters, the team announced Thursday.
The ceremony — to be held before a Feb. 25 game against the Red Wings, the other team with which Chelios spent the bulk of his career — will make Chelios the second player in as many years to have his jersey retired (after Marian Hossa last season).
