Quite a few of the players from the 'dynasty' team returned for the ceremony. The Blackhawks won 3 cups in 6 years and led by their core, were one of the best teams of the decade.
During Hossa's acceptance speech, he may have revealed some information the Blackhawks were trying to keep secret about a few of their other players:

Do the Blackhawks plan on retiring a few more players jerseys from that Dynasty era that Hossa just spilled the beans on? Players like Sharp, Keith, and of course Toews & Kane.
Hossa was desperate for a Stanley Cup, he was a member of the Penguins, who lost to the Red Wings. Went to the Red Wings and lost to the Penguins and finally on his third straight trip to the Stanley Cup finals, he finally won his first cup with the Chicago Blackhawks, then added two more to his resume just for fun.
He is still widely considered one of the best two-way players of all time, who could put up offense just as much as he played defence.
