Patrick Kane, a Chicago Blackhawks legend who spent 16 seasons and won three Stanley Cups with the team, is finally ready to close the chapter on that part of his career.
After being traded from the Blackhawks in 2023, Kane admitted a part of him still felt connected to the organization. However, heading into the 2024-25 season with the Detroit Red Wings, he feels fully committed to embracing his new role and identity.
"The last couple years, you still feel in some respects like you're a Blackhawk, right?" Kane said. "Even when you go to New York or last year when I was in Detroit. There's still that sense that you're somewhat of a Blackhawk, and for me now, the page is officially turned."
Kane, 35, had a strong season with the Red Wings in 2023-24, tallying 20 goals, 27 assists, and 47 points in 50 games while averaging 18:23 minutes on ice. He signed a one-year extension over the summer to remain in Detroit and is fully buying into the Red Wings' culture and future.
Both Kane and the Blackhawks have moved on. While Kane continues to thrive in Detroit, the Blackhawks are entering a new era led by rookie sensation Connor Bedard. Kane's return to Chicago is set for November 6, when the Red Wings face off against the Blackhawks. It will be a nostalgic homecoming for Kane, but one in which he is fully focused on his new role as a Red Wing.
