Chicago Blackhawks Marian Hossa has been with the Chicago Blackhawks since 2009 when he signed a 12 year contract. It’s 2017 and he’s still playing at a high level, and today he turns 38 years old. 

When the Chicago Blackhawks signed Hossa way back when some questioned if he would ever come close to playing out his contract.  The thing is with 4 years remaining on his contract he doesn’t look like he’s slowing down anytime soon, especially after a longer summer break this past year when the Hawks bowed out of the playoffs in the first round.

Marian Hossa has been in the NHL for 20 seasons now, and for the first time in his career he’s played for the Blackhawks longer than he played his first 7 seasons with the Ottawa Senators.  He’s scored 1,114 points in his NHL career scoring 515 times with 599 assists.

Hossa is closing in on 400 points in his Blackhawks career. Here are the stats that he’s amassed wearing a Blackhawks jersey

Games-499

Goals-176

Assists-219

Points-395

Shorthanded Goals-17

Stanley Cups-3

When speaking about Hossa, I wish he had won a Selke during his prime when he was one of the best two-way players in the NHL, but that award at the time only goes to centers.

As we speak, everyone says that Hossa is a Hall of Famer and I agree with that assessment. My fear is that when his career is over the arguement against him will be he never won a big time Award and he wasn’t even a perennial All-Star.  One thing he’s been is a Stanley Cup champion, and that’s something they will never take away from him!!

Anyways, Happy Birthday Hoss!!
