In the lead-up to Chris Chelios having his jersey retired another important event was taking place. Patrick Kane had his return to the United Center.

Fans noticed that Toews was not part of this reunion and began to wonder about why he was not in attendance.
While there have been no reports as to why Toews is missing many have assumed it has to do with the health issues that led to his sudden retirement. The Blackhawks will likely have more celebrations in the near future for the teams that Toews was on it will be interesting to see if he is in attendance for those.
