Jonathan Toews hasn’t even got to the half way point in his first NHL season but is already taking on a ton of responsibility with the Hawks.
Toews is 2nd in rookie scoring behind his teammate Patrick Kane and is tied for 3rd on his team with 35 points so far this season. But what really shows Toews impact on the Blackhawks is the fact already early in his first NHL season he has been named assistant captain.
Toews has long been looked at the leader of all the teams he has played on. In 2005 he played on team Canada’s under 17 team and was named captain of that team.
He then played for team Canada’s under 20 World Championship team and again was named the teams captain.
And finally on December 3rd, 2007 Denis Savard, the Chicago Blackhawks coach named Jonathan Toews an alternate captain for the month. And it is now just a matter of time before Jonathan becomes the next Blackhawk captain.
